Kia EV6 price news is giving electric car buyers a clearer choice this autumn: the 2027 EV6 keeps its starting price unchanged, while the new, smaller EV3 undercuts it by more than $8,000. The Kia EV6 price decision, reported by Electrek on 26 October, holds the base model at $37,900 before a $1,545 destination fee, the same as last year.
Kia cut the price of the 2026 EV6 by $5,000 earlier this year, according to Electrek, and has now frozen the new model-year price across all trims. The 2027 EV6 is a carryover model, with no major changes to the lineup. Kia said the unchanged EV6 price, alongside the EV3 launch, is about making electric cars more attainable for drivers embracing a fully electric lifestyle.
What $37,900 buys in the EV6
The base EV6 Light Standard Range rear-wheel-drive model uses a 63 kWh battery and offers up to 237 miles of range under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards, Electrek reports. Step up to the EV6 Light Long Range rear-wheel-drive model, starting at $41,200, and a larger 84 kWh battery lifts range to up to 319 miles. All-wheel-drive versions offer up to 295 miles, while the top GT-Line all-wheel-drive model offers up to 270 miles.
The full 2027 EV6 range runs from $37,900 for the Light Standard Range to $53,000 for the GT-Line all-wheel-drive model, before destination fees, according to the price table published by Electrek. Wind and GT-Line rear-wheel-drive versions also offer up to 319 miles, making the long-range rear-wheel-drive layout the range champion of the lineup.
The EV3 changes the maths
The new EV3 starts at $29,890, or $8,010 less than the base EV6, according to both Electrek and Kia coverage. Its entry Light front-wheel-drive model uses a 58.3 kWh battery and delivers up to 221 miles of EPA-estimated range. Higher EV3 trims — Wind, Land, GT-Line and GT — use an 81.4 kWh battery, with some configurations offering up to 321 miles.
For buyers, the trade-off is now explicit. The EV3 lowers the entry barrier to a new Kia electric car, while the EV6 justifies its premium with a larger body, longer range on most trims and faster charging performance, according to Kia’s positioning reported by Digital Today. A driver who mostly charges at home and rarely drives beyond 200 miles in a day may find the EV3 covers every need. A driver who regularly covers long distances will value the EV6’s larger battery options.
Should you buy the EV6 or wait?
Holding the price steady, rather than raising it, is itself a signal in a market where many new cars have become more expensive. But buyers should still compare the total cost, including destination fees, taxes and home-charging installation, and test both cars back to back. Range figures are EPA estimates and vary with driving style, weather and wheel size. The smart move is to choose on daily driving needs first and headline range second.
