I’ve been saying for a year or more now that the Kia EV6 has risen to the top of my list as the new or used vehicle we’d most likely buy next. I love the vehicle, as it seems to be the perfect package in all kinds of ways. I’ve been a bit disappointed to see its sales not matching its worth and competitiveness, but perhaps the pricing was always just a bit high. Now, however, Kia is looking to take things to the next level. The company has just dropped the base price of the Kia EV6 from $42,900 to $37,900!

That’s a sweet price cut, and it should definitely help more people notice, consider, and buy the EV6.

Yes, we wrote about this price cut a few weeks ago when it was leaked, but now it’s for real. At the time, we wrote that the 2026 Kia EV6 will get a $5,000 to $6,000 price cut compared to the 2025 Kia EV6. Now we see in more detail what that means. Some trims are $5,000 less, some are $5,500 less, and one $5,900 less. In bullet format, here are the price differences, followed by screenshots of the 2025 options and the new 2026 options:
