Kia EV6The 2025 EV6 hasn't arrived just yet, but there are all sorts of exciting upgrades for this model year. The aesthetic has changed, with updated looks on the inside and outside, a new 63 kWh battery is standard, and a new 84 kWh battery is used to replace the old 77.4-kWh battery – a change which should increase overall range. According to Kia, maximum range on rear-wheel drive models is now 319 miles, while the high-performance EV6 GT drops down to just 231 miles. Interested in the energy consumption numbers? So are we, but Kia hasn't released those estimates yet and neither has the EPA. For a bit of a baseline, the 2024 EV6 ranges between 29 and 41 kWh/100 miles, depending on the trim level and equipment – 2025 numbers should be roughly similar. Horsepower at the bottom of the range with rear-drive models is an average-for-the-class 225 hp and 258 lb-ft, while all-wheel drive models go up to 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque. The GT, just like its Ioniq 5 N cousin, provides as much as 641 hp and 568 lb-ft in launch mode – seriously impressive for any vehicle. The price for all this power and range? Kia hasn't announced any specifics yet, but we estimate that there will be a slight increase over outgoing 2024 models. The current base EV6 Light RWD currently starts at $43,995 (including $1,395 destination fee) and top-trim EV6 GT has an MSRP of $62,995.Rivian R1SIf you're looking to adventure off the beaten path in your EV, the R1S is a strong choice. The Rivian's third row is also much more spacious than the Teslas and it'll be much more comfortable for adults on long journeys. Being significantly larger than the Tesla Model Y, the Rivian does use quite a bit more energy for travel, between 39 kWh/100 miles on dual-motor models up to 50 kWh/100 miles on tri-motor Max models. Base models only offer 270 miles of estimated range, but certain upper trims offer as much as 380 miles of range. That should assuage some of that anxiety when you're out in the wilderness, exploring nature in EV silence. Power with the R1S is impressive, with 533 hp on the basic Dual Standard trim, 655 hp on the Dual trim, and 850 hp on the Tri trim, but where the numbers start to get real wild is on the soon-to-arrive R1S Quad, which has a staggering 1,025 hp. Zero to 60 mph, according to Rivian, is dealt with in just 2.5 seconds — putting the big three-row family SUV in competition with plenty of the fastest sports cars you can buy today. Pricing ranges from $77,700 on base Adventure trims up to $107,700 on top Ascend trims. A smaller two-row Rivian called the R2 is also on its way for 2026, but for now, the three-row R1S is the only choice.
