Kia EV6 2023 starts at $7,100 higher, reducing the base battery version


The 2023 Kia EV6 starts at $7,100 more than the previous year, according to pricing information published by Kia.

That increase is mainly due to Kia dropping the base Light trim, which starts at $42,695 with a mandatory $1,295 destination charge and is the only US EV6 model to offer a smaller 58 kWh battery pack. All other versions use the 77.4 kwh package.

The cheapest Kia EV6 2023 trim is the single-engine rear-wheel drive Wind, which starts at $49,795 with destination charges. Destination fee unchanged in 2023, but Kia has increased base MSRP for EV6 Win $1,000. The addition of full-time four-wheel drive raises the price to $53,695.

And the difference is even bigger than that, as earlier this year the EV6 was eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit. New rules enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) mean tax credit is not likely to return to the foreseeable future.
