Kia announced that 2027 EV6 prices start at about $38,000, or $8,000 more than the new EV3.
2027 Kia EV6 prices and driving range
The 2027 Kia EV6 arrives as a carryover model from last year. After reducing prices on the 2026 model year by $5,000 just a few months ago, the 2027 EV6 remains the same price across all trims.
The base EV6 Light standard-range RWD model starts at $37,900, not including the $1,545 destination fee, which is the same as last year.
Powered by a 63 kWh battery, the standard-range variant offers up to 237 miles of range. Upgrading to the EV6 Light long range RWD model costs an extra $3,300, starting at $41,200, but delivers up to 319 miles of range using a larger 84 kWh battery.
The 84 kWh battery offers up to 319 miles of range in RWD variants, while AWD EV6 models get up to 295 miles. The top-spec EV6 GT-Line AWD has up to 270 miles of range.
Kia said that with the EV6 MSRP unchanged and the launch of the new EV3, it’s “making EVs more attainable for those who embrace the fully electric lifestyle.”
The 2027 Kia EV3 starts at just $29,890, or about $8,000 less than the EV6. Kia’s entry-level electric SUV is available in five trims: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT.
The lowest-priced EV3 Light FWD model uses a 58.3 kWh battery and delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 221 miles.

Higher-priced trims, including the Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT, use a larger 81.4 kWh battery that delivers up to 321 miles of range on a single charge. Like the EV6, the EV3 is also available with front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive powertrain options.
Inside, both the EV6 and EV3 feature Kia’s ccNC infotainment system. The setup includes nearly 30″ of screen space in a curved panoramic display, including dual 12.3″ instrument cluster and central navigation screens, plus a 5″ climate control touchscreen.
Both also include a native NACS port so that you can access Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter.
However, the EV6 uses an 800V architecture, enabling faster charging than the EV3, which uses a 400V system.
The EV6 can charge from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes, whereas the EV3 takes about 30 minutes.
The EV6 is also larger and less boxy than the EV3, measuring 184.8″ long, 74″ wide, and 60.8″ tall, with a 114.2″ wheelbase. In comparison, the EV3 is 169.3″ long, 72.8″ wide, and 62″ tall, with a 105.5″ wheelbase.
