No price tags yet, but with both models falling into COE Category B and factoring in the current COE prices, you’re likely looking at roughly
Why It Won’t Break the Bank
Both EV6s flaunt a VES rating of A1 – that’s a sweet $‑25,000 credit to help offset the cost. Plus, the Early EV Adoption Rebate is rolling in, nudging the price even lower.

All About Kia’s New EV6: When It’s Finally on the Road
It turns out the much‑anticipated Kia EV6 isn’t jumping onto the streets yet. Instead of hitting the market in the first half of this year, the launch has been pushed back—likely because fans simply can’t get enough of the electric buzz and the usual supply‑chain hiccups.
Timeline Overview
- Original plan: Q2 of 2023
- Current status: Official release slated for December 2023 (or, if the Singapore Motorshow pre‑launches it earlier, that’s the new countdown)
- Why the delay? “Demand is higher than expected” plus the classic post‑pandemic parts shuffle
Power Options Across the Globe
Kia has spritzed the EV6 with a few variants, each screaming a different horsepower:
- Standard Range Dual Motor: 232 hp – a solid choice for everyday city cruising.
- Long Range Single Motor: 225 hp – good vibes and a longer stretch for road trip lovers.
- Ultra‑Performance GT: 577 hp – the track‑ready beast that’ll make your neighbors say, “Whoa!”
Right now, no one knows exactly when or where you can snag each model.
What It Means For You
If you’re waiting to step into the electric future, the good news is that Kia’s got a lineup that’s both versatile and powerful. The bad news? The shelves are still empty, and you’ll probably need to keep checking back before your car’s ready for the driveway.
So strap in: whether it’s the December arrival or the Singapore showcase, the EV6 is poised to hit the road soon—just wait for a bit longer to get a piece of the electrifying action.

Kia EV6: The Wall‑Street‑Wreckinghorse of Singapore’s EV Scene
Strap in folks! The Kia EV6 GT isn’t just a pretty face—it’s a Beast that packs 577 horsepower and a whopping 740 newton‑metres of torque. Coupled with a limited‑slip rear differential, tightened suspension, beefed‑up brakes, and a 0‑100 km/h sprint in a razor‑sharp 3.5 seconds, this bad boy takes the crown for the fastest top speed in the EV6 family: a blistering 260 km/h. Price‑tag? If it rolls into Singapore’s streets, think nearly S$300,000 before the COE crunch.
Thanks to a company-independent 800‑volt architecture, the EV6 can gulp 240‑kW of DC power, putting it neck‑and‑neck with the Porsche Taycan and Tesla in charging speed, especially since it can climb from 10 % to 80 % in just 18 minutes. That’s a game‑changer compared to the industry norm of half an hour.

What’s the kicker?
With the Hyundai E‑GMP platform, The EV6 is no less than a “next‑level” leap in electric driving tech. The 800‑volt drivetrain isn’t just a marketing buzzword—it’s a real boost that practically means your car can recharge at the speed of light (well, almost). For every 10 % you put in, you’re up to 80 % in 18 minutes. That’s 30 % faster than the usual charging routine.
And large enough for the market, Kia’s EV6 shows it’s not merely a close‑shave with Tesla. With the Hyundai Ioniq‑5 as its sibling (though not yet on the official market), Kia positions itself to battle Tesla and Polestar head‑to‑head in the mainstream and premium segments.
