EV6
Long-range electric crossover with 800V ultra-fast charging and up to 528 km WLTP range · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOMike Bird / PexelsOur verdict
8.2 / 10The Kia EV6 is one of the most compelling electric crossovers available in the UAE, combining a generous 77.4 kWh battery with 800V ultra-fast charging that can add 100 km of range in under 4.5 minutes. With up to 528 km WLTP range on the rear-drive Earth variant and a punchy 320 hp dual-motor AWD option, it suits both daily commuters and long-distance UAE travellers. The sleek crossover body, premium dual-screen interior and platform-sharing with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 make it well-rounded, though entry pricing above AED 209,000 pushes it into premium-adjacent territory.
Who it's for — UAE buyers who want a stylish, long-range electric crossover with rapid charging capability and do not want to pay the full premium of a European electric SUV. Particularly suited to drivers who use UAE motorways regularly and value fast top-up times on cross-emirate trips.
