Kia EV6

Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the Kia EV6 registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (13,457 cars), engine power from 25 countries, kerb weight from 27 countries. Source: EEA CO₂ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).

Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Plus 2 variants with fewer than 10 cars (8 cars in total).

WLTP range by version

Type-approved WLTP range of the electric versions of the Kia EV6, as recorded for each car in the Dutch vehicle register (RDW). The table shows the median; the spread is where 80% of the cars fall.

WLTP is the test cycle of EU type approval, so the same version carries the same figure across the EU/EEA. Power is the net maximum electric power from the same register. Versions with fewer than 20 cars are left out. Source: Open Data RDW (Netherlands, CC0).
