The most noticeable is the redesigned front end, which features Star Map lighting units that aim to give the car a “wider, more dynamic appearance.” They’re joined by an angular front bumper and a revised hood.
Rounding out the highlights are three-dimensional taillights and new cladding. Buyers will also find restyled wheels measuring between 19- and 21-inches.
The interior largely carries over, but there’s a new steering wheel and an updated center console. They’re joined by 12.3-inch displays, heated front seats, and fabric / SynTex upholstery. The entry-level model also sports a 10-way power driver’s seat, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a wireless smartphone charger.
Buyers will find a host of standard driver assistance systems including Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Highway Driving Assist, and High Beam Assist. Other niceties include Blind Spot Collision Avoidance, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, Forward Collision-Avoidance, and Rear Occupant Alert.
Some of the biggest changes occur beneath the skin as there are larger 63 and 84 kWh battery packs, which replace the previous 58 and 77.4 kWh units. Thanks to this change, the model now offers a range of between 231 miles (372 km) and 319 miles (513 km).
Speaking of powertrain updates, the 2025 EV6 now uses the North American Charging Standard. This means owners can utilize Tesla Superchargers without an adaptor.
The entry-level EV6 Light features a rear-mounted motor developing 167 hp (125 kW / 169 PS) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. The Light Long Range, Wind, and GT-Line offer a rear-wheel drive variant with 225 hp (168 kW / 228 PS) as well as an all-wheel drive model with 320 hp (239 kW / 324 PS).
Customers seeking more performance can upgrade to the range-topping GT, which has 601 hp (448 kW / 609 PS) and 545 lb-ft (738 Nm) of torque. Those numbers climb to 641 hp (478 kW / 650 PS) and 568 lb-ft (769 Nm) with Launch Mode. The latter enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.4 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 161 mph (259 km/h).
