Overview
- The 2026 EV6, which got new U.S. pricing Friday, now starts at $39,445 including destination after an about $5,000 cut.
- Mid trims were reduced too, with the Wind at $46,345 and the GT-Line at $50,245, and the Wind carries an EPA-estimated 319-mile range.
- Kia put the high-output EV6 GT on hold indefinitely in the U.S., saying it was delayed rather than canceled.
- The new base price undercuts Tesla’s Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive by about $2,185, though the EV6 Light carries a lower EPA range of about 237 miles versus the Tesla’s 321.
- Kia is chasing a turnaround after early 2026 sales sank, with Electrek citing just over 2,000 U.S. deliveries in the first quarter, down roughly 46% from a year ago.
