2025 Kia EV6 facelift spied with fresh face

The facelifted 2025 Kia EV6 electric SUV has been spotted in South Korea.

Content creator Woopa TV [YouTube ↗] spied the camouflaged EV6 in its home country, with only some exposed lighting units that indicate it’ll follow Kia’s latest ‘Opposites United’ design theme.

However, unlike the soon-to-launch Kia EV9 large electric SUV, upcoming EV3 small SUV, EV4 sedan, and EV5 medium SUV family, it appears to feature a diagonal split headlight and daytime running light arrangement akin to the Citroen C5 X.

It may also feature thin vertical lighting strips, as found on all newly-facelifted models such as the combustion engine-powered Picanto micro hatch, Sorento large SUV, and Carnival people mover.

The EV6’s lower front intake has also been tweaked, with new-look aerodynamic wheel designs on this development tester.

However, the rear curved full-width LED light bar seems to be unchanged, with the same three-dimensional diamond patterns on the indicator strip. Unlike the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, this tester still doesn’t include a rear wiper.

While the interior was covered up, expect the facelifted Kia EV6 to feature the company’s latest Connected Car Operating System (ccOS) with Kia Connect built-in cellular and smartphone app connectivity in Australia.

The updated Kia EV6 should debut sometime next year.

The EV6 launched in Australia in 2021, as the South Korean carmaker’s first ground-up electric vehicle.

Despite initial supply struggles for the Tesla Model Y rival, the company told Wheels in August that stock is now readily available.
