- Pricing for the 2026 Kia EV6 lineup is out, and the electric compact SUV is considerably more affordable than before.
- With the GT trim gone for 2026, the EV6 is left with the Light, Wind, and GT-Line trims, now starting at $39,445, $46,345, and $50,245, respectively.
- Those new pricing figures amount to savings of $4950 for the Light, and $5450 for the Wind and GT-Line models when compared with the 2025 lineup.
After considerable delay, pricing for the 2026 Kia EV6 is finally here, and the entire lineup is significantly more affordable than last year. Along with its corporate cousin, the Hyundai Ioniq 6, the fate of Kia's electric compact SUV was thrown into question earlier this year, with rumors suggesting that the model may not have a 2026 model in the United States.
Those rumors have now officially been put to rest, as the 2026 EV6 will start at $39,445, Car and Driver can confirm. That figure represents the price of the Light trim, which is down $4950 from last year. The price cuts only get larger from there. The 2026 EV6 Wind starts at $46,345, and the EV6 GT-Line at $50,245, both representing a $5450 price reduction compared with their 2025 counterparts.
Unfortunately, there's still no word on the EV6 GT, suggesting the trim won't show up this year. In a statement to Car and Driver in March, a Kia spokesperson said that, along with the EV9 GT, the EV6 GT was being delayed indefinitely due to changing market conditions. We still don't have an exact schedule for when the 2026 EV6 lineup will arrive, but now that we have pricing, we don't expect we'll have to wait long.
