It\u2019s likely Kia will remove the current car\u2019s narrow grille in favour of a single piece of slim black trim, while implementing a flatter front end, too. Expect the EV6\u2019s fundamental shape to remain, with no dimensional changes planned at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>All of Kia\u2019s most recent models \u2013 EV3, EV4, EV5 and EV9 \u2013 share their so-called \u2018Starmap\u2019 tail-light design, so it\u2019s likely the EV6 will adopt a similar signature next year. However, the current car\u2019s rear clusters are connected via a full-width lightbar \u2013 it remains to be seen whether chief designer Karim Habib will incorporate the new look while also retaining this original defining feature.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the facelifted EV6, we expect a significant tech upgrade, possibly lifting the EV9\u2019s three-screen layout wholesale. This would eliminate the need for the EV6\u2019s slightly-fiddly touch panel, which cycles between the climate control and media functions \u2013 possibly adding physical buttons for the heating and ventilation like those found in the EV9.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t expect huge changes under the skin, with the EV6 retaining its E-GMP platform and range of rear and dual-motor powertrains. The EV9 is offered with a larger 99.8kWh battery than the EV6, but this is unlikely to find its way into the smaller car, due both to size and weight. The Tesla Model 3 rival will retain its 800-volt architecture and high peak charge speed, however, for a 10-80 per cent top-up in less than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Hilbert wouldn\u2019t give us a definite time frame for the revised EV6, but said \u201cEvery three years is a facelift, and then a full model change every six.\u201d This would suggest we\u2019re likely to see camouflaged cars testing early in 2024, before a full reveal sometime in the summer.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for our list of the best electric cars on sale&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/kia\/ev6\/361450\/kia-ev6-get-bold-new-look-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kia\u2019s first dedicated electric car will get design and tech refresh to bring it in line with larger EV9 The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244821,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
