If you have been cross-shopping electric SUVs and keep landing back on the Kia EV6, you are not alone. The 2027 Kia EV6 for sale at Family Kia of St. Augustine carries over the same winning formula Kia introduced last year: a dedicated electric platform, fast charging, and a range of trims that fit everything from a budget-conscious commuter to a driver who wants dual-motor performance. Kia has kept the EV6 essentially unchanged across all seven configurations this year, which means the value case that made it a standout in 2026 is just as strong now.
We know shopping for an EV still feels different than shopping for a gas vehicle, and that is exactly why we built this page. You will find the real powertrain specs, a trim-by-trim breakdown, and an honest look at how the EV6 compares to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y, so you can decide with confidence rather than guesswork.
The EV6 is offered with three distinct electric powertrain configurations, and which one makes sense for you depends mostly on how far you drive and whether you want all-wheel traction.
As a quick rule of thumb, Standard Range suits mostly in-town driving, Long Range RWD suits drivers who log serious highway miles, and Dual-Motor AWD suits buyers who want real performance, all-weather confidence, or the ability to tow a small trailer or boat. Here is how all three line up side by side.
| Configuration | Battery | Horsepower | Torque | 0-60 mph | EPA-Est. Range | 10-80% DC Charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Range RWD | 63.0 kWh | 167 hp | 258 lb-ft | About 8.3 sec | 237 mi | About 24 min (150 kW) |
| Long Range RWD | 84.0 kWh | 225 hp | 258 lb-ft | About 7.3 sec | 319 mi | About 20 min (350 kW) |
| Dual-Motor AWD | 84.0 kWh | 320 hp | 446 lb-ft | About 5.0 sec | 270 to 295 mi | About 20 min (350 kW) |
Beyond the spec sheet, the EV6 earns its following through how it actually performs, what the cabin offers day to day, and how thoroughly it protects you behind the wheel.
Every EV6 uses a single-speed gear reduction unit instead of a traditional transmission, so acceleration is smooth and immediate from a stop. On the 84 kWh battery, a 10 to 80 percent charge takes about 20 minutes on a 350 kW charger, which is fast enough to top off during a lunch stop rather than planning your day around it. Drive Mode Select lets you tailor the driving feel to your mood and the road conditions.
Inside, the EV6 offers 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 46.7 cubic feet with them folded, plus 103.0 cubic feet of total passenger volume. Every trim includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 12.3-inch navigation display running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add a smart power liftgate, ventilated front seats, and on GT-Line, a Head-Up Display and Meridian premium audio system.
Every 2027 EV6 comes standard with the driver-assistance features below. Wind and GT-Line step up to Highway Driving Assist 2, plus a Surround View Monitor for added visibility in parking lots and on the highway. Every EV6 also carries front, side, and full-length curtain airbags as part of its standard safety architecture.
Kia offers the 2027 EV6 across four trim families and seven configurations, carried over from last year. Tap through each trim below to see who it suits best and what it adds.
The Light is the only EV6 trim offered with the Standard Range battery and rear-wheel drive. It comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlamps, heated front seats, and the complete suite of standard driver assistance features. This trim suits budget-focused commuters who mainly drive around town and do not need the extra range or towing capability of the Long Range models.
Light Long Range adds the 84.0 kWh battery in RWD or AWD, with a heat pump on AWD models for better cold-weather efficiency. It is the quickest step up to 319 miles of range without paying for the extra features bundled into Wind. We see this trim appeal most to drivers commuting regularly between St. Augustine and Jacksonville who want range above all else.
Wind adds a smart power liftgate, ventilated front seats, Surround View Monitor, and Vehicle-to-Load power capability, which lets you power devices straight from the battery. It also upgrades to Highway Driving Assist 2. This is the trim we recommend most often for families who want the comfort and tech upgrades without stepping all the way up to GT-Line.
GT-Line tops the lineup with exclusive styling, a wide sunroof, Head-Up Display, 14-speaker Meridian premium audio, and Digital Key 2.0. The AWD version rides on 20-inch wheels for the most distinctive look in the lineup. This trim is built for drivers who want the EV6’s full performance ceiling paired with its most complete feature set.
Our current EV6 inventory changes regularly, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm what is physically on our lot before making the drive in.
The EV6’s two most common cross-shops are the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Tesla Model Y. Each brings real strengths, so here is how we would frame the decision for most buyers.
The Ioniq 5 shares much of the EV6’s underlying technology, is often priced slightly lower at comparable trims, and offers a bit more cargo room. The EV6 answers with a sportier design, up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, and a 2,700-pound tow rating on Long Range models.
The Model Y counters with significantly more total cargo volume. The EV6 answers with a published 10 to 80 percent fast-charge time of about 20 minutes, standard Highway Driving Assist on every trim, and Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile EV battery warranty coverage.
If fast charging, standard driver assistance, and long warranty coverage matter more to you than outright cargo space, the EV6 is the stronger choice. We always recommend confirming current competitor pricing and specs directly before comparing them side by side.
Before you commit to a trim, take a close look at your typical daily mileage and whether you regularly tow, since that comparison alone usually narrows the field to one or two configurations. We also encourage you to use our service scheduling tools to ask about home charging setup, since that conversation is often more useful before you buy than after.
If you are trading in a gas-powered vehicle, bring your title and registration so our team can give you an accurate trade value on the spot, and ask specifically how the EV6’s battery warranty applies if you plan to keep the vehicle long term. Buyers who are not quite ready for new can also browse our certified pre-owned Kia inventory to compare value across model years before deciding.
We have been family-owned and operated since 2000, and that is not a line we use lightly. You can read what that looks like in practice on our customer reviews, where buyers from St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Palm Coast describe a low-pressure experience built on straight answers. You will find us at 2665 U.S. Highway 1 South in St. Augustine, and we would love to have you stop by and drive an EV6 for yourself.
That same philosophy carries into our EV6 ownership support. Our service department honors your Kia factory warranty regardless of where you originally bought the car, and our technicians stay current on Kia’s evolving EV training. If you would like to know more about who we are before you visit, our about us page covers our history and the local organizations we support, from St. Augustine youth sports to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Our finance team works with a range of lenders so you can compare loan and lease terms side by side rather than accepting the first number offered. You can start that conversation at your own pace by applying through our online financing application, which lets you handle the paperwork before you ever step onto the lot.
Worth noting: the federal EV tax credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, so it no longer applies to new EV6 purchases. We encourage you to ask our finance team directly about any current manufacturer or dealer incentives, which you can also browse on our new vehicle incentives page, since available offers shift from month to month for drivers throughout Flagler Beach, Ormond Beach, and the rest of Northeast Florida.
The 2027 Kia EV6 holds its value proposition from last year: strong range options, fast charging, and standard driver assistance technology across every trim. As a two-time Kia Platinum Prestige Award winner, we back that vehicle with a buying and ownership experience built on straight answers rather than pressure tactics. From here, you have a few clear next steps: browse our current EV6 inventory online, start your financing conversation with our finance center before you visit, or simply reach out to our team with questions. If you are also curious about Kia’s three-row EV9 or the compact EV3, our team can walk you through how the whole electric lineup compares. However you choose to start, we will be here at 2665 U.S. Highway 1 South, ready to help whenever you are.
