2023 Kia EV6: Base Model Gone, Big Price Bump

2023 Kia EV6 GT

The 2022 Kia EV6 started at $41,400, plus $1,295 to deliver. The 2023 Kia EV6 will start at $48,500, plus the same $1,295 fee.

The price jump, on paper, is eye-popping. But it comes most because Kia dropped the base Light model from the EV6 lineup due to lack of interest. The next trim up — the Wind –started at $47,500 for 2022. For 2023, most trim levels have seen a price increase closer to $1,000.

Otherwise, there appear to be almost no changes to the EV6 for the new model year – not surprising, as it was all-new fairly late in 2022. The long-anticipated EV6 GT will arrive in dealerships in the fourth quarter with its 576 horsepower and 3.4-second 0-60 mph time.

2023 Kia EV6 Pricing:

Kia also charges a mandatory $1,295 to deliver the EV6. Under the Inflation Reduction Act passed this summer, the EV6 is not eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit because it is built outside North America.

We should also note that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is built on the same platform and uses many of the same parts, with radically different styling. It is still available in a fairly spartan base model for 2022, so Hyundai continues to offer it with a lower price tag at $41,450, plus $1,295 for delivery.
