The recently redesigned 2025 Kia EV6 has a lot going for it: an unmistakable design, excellent range, ample space, and some of the quickest charging speeds in the business. Let's explore this model a bit by looking at it through its trim levels. Light RWD The base Light RWD's 237 miles of range and 167 horsepower come courtesy of a 64-kWh pack and a single electric motor mounted on the rear wheel. As mentioned, charging speeds here are among the best in the EV world. A suitable DC fast charger can add roughly 166 miles in just 20 minutes, while the onboard charger takes about four and a half hours to add the same range. The interior is ready to impress, too. Standard features include a mix of cloth and leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a pair of 12.3-inch screens with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, USB ports in both rows, a six-speaker stereo, and pre-cabin ventilation. more Light Long Range RWD This model's name says it all. It packs a larger 84-kWh battery that delivers more range (319 miles), more power (225 horsepower), a full second quicker 0-60 time, and some towing muscle (up to 2,700 pounds). Light Long Range AWD To turn the Light Long Range RWD into the Light Long Range AWD, Kia added a second electric motor up front. This upgrade brings all-season capability and a substantial performance boost. Power jumps by 95 horsepower, torque climbs by 188 lb-ft, and the 0-60 time drops by nearly two seconds. Meanwhile, range dips slightly to 295 miles, but that's a small tradeoff for everything you gain. Wind RWD All Wind models get the long-range battery as standard, but what really sets them apart are the extra comfort and tech features. Highlights here include full leatherette seats with heating, ventilation, power adjustability, and memory settings up front, plus a power liftgate, 360-degree view monitor, Highway Driving Assist 2, and side parking sensors. GT-Line RWD The GT-Line RWD is the looker of the group. It features GT-Line-specific body styling, front and center daytime running lights, a wide sunroof, a flat-bottom steering wheel, alloy sport pedals, and a console with a specially designed pattern. Comfort-wise, it's pretty well stocked. You get things like a head-up display, a 14-speaker Meridian premium sound system, a smartphone-as-a-key feature, and a power-adjustable steering column. Wind AWD This model offers the best of both worlds: the Wind's comfort and the extra performance that comes with all-wheel drive. GT-Line AWD The top-ranging GT-Line AWD builds on the GT-Line RWD's formula, adding all-wheel drive (and with it, more power), larger wheels, wider tires, and a heated steering wheel. Your next great vehicle is just a test drive away. To schedule yours, reach out to Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH.

Power is sent through a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for very smooth and responsive shifting. Junction Turning Detection An extensive list of top-notch safety features come as standard in the base EX trim. One innovative example is the junction turning detection aspect of forward collision avoidance assist, which also detects pedestrians and cyclists. Niro Plug-In Hybrid drivers also appreciate the parallel exit capability of blind-spot collision warning, which keeps you safe when exiting tight parking spots, and navigation-based smart cruise control. There are more advanced safety features keeping you safe from harm. 10.25-Inch Infotainment Touchscreen A prominent 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen makes it easy to operate your hybrid's navigation and entertainment features. You can also remotely start your car and control other vehicle functions via your smart key or the complimentary Kia Connect app on your smartphone.

You also have heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. These kinds of upscale features are ordinarily only found as standard in luxury vehicles. Dual-Level Cargo Floor As a subcompact crossover, the Niro Plug-in Hybrid is nimble enough to handle busy city streets and tricky parking lot maneuvers with ease. However, the interior is remarkably spacious, with great front and rear legroom. You also have a generous 19.4 cubic feet cargo area, which can grow to a whopping 54.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

Transmission problems can develop over time if the transmission isn't regularly serviced, and they can cause serious damage if they're not repaired. As your Kia dealership, we want you to know a few signs you need to visit us for Kia transmission maintenance. Leaking Transmission One of the most common signs of a transmission problem is leaking transmission fluid. This fluid is essential for the transmission, as it provides the hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift. It also protects transmission components from unnecessary damage by covering them with a friction-resistant coating that allows them to work efficiently at high speed. Transmission fluid is easily recognizable as it is bright or dark red, depending on its age. If you spot a transmission leak, contact us ASAP and don't drive your Kia, as driving with low transmission fluid can damage the gears and even cause the transmission to seize. We'll trace and fix the leak, then refill the transmission fluid. more Gears Won't Shift The transmission control module controls the transmission and shifts the gears as needed to keep your Kia moving at the desired speed. Sensors connected to all important transmission components ensure these instructions are carried out and reported back to the transmission control module. If your gears suddenly refuse to shift, your Kia's engine continues to work, but your vehicle can't move. Gear shifting issues can be caused by low transmission fluid, since it provides the hydraulic power that shifts the gears, as we saw above. It could also be caused by other issues like damaged sensors, broken transmission bands, or a fault inside the transmission control module. Our technicians will examine your transmission and fix the problem. Slipping Gears Slipping gears is a scary situation where the gears change suddenly without warning or instructions from the transmission control module. Engine power will drop, and you usually hear harsh grinding sounds as the gears are forced into a new position. The gears usually move to their previous setting, and this could cause your Kia to stop suddenly. Gear slipping could be caused by worn or damaged transmission linkages, damaged gear teeth, or a sensor fault. It can also happen if there's a transmission leak, as loss of transmission fluid reduces the hydraulic pressure; the remaining fluid may not have enough power to push the gears into their new position when the transmission shifts. We'll find the cause of the problem and repair it. Most transmission problems are easy and inexpensive to repair when they start, but they will cause more problems and potential damage until they're fixed. If you have a transmission problem, contact our service department today at Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH.

If you want to protect your vehicle from weather or daily wear, investing in high-quality floor mats is an efficient solution. Not only are Kia floor mats customized to fit your specific model, but they also preserve the value of your vehicle for years to come. Order Genuine Kia Accessories at Coughlin Kia of Lancaster You can buy genuine floor mats for your Kia when you order your vehicle from your local authorized dealership. You can also select floor mats when you are custom ordering your Kia online by jumping to the accessories compatible with your Kia so that your new floor mats arrive with your vehicle. Another option is ordering floor mats from the Kia accessories store after you have purchased your vehicle, which may be necessary if you decide the factory floor mats are not compatible with your lifestyle. For example, taking up a recent interest in camping may demonstrate a need for floor mats that are more durable. more Benefits of Genuine Floor Mats Upgrading your floor mats with genuine mats from Kia is ideal since mats designed for your model offer better coverage. Door-to-door floor mat coverage means there won't be any major gaps, so there is less damage to your vehicle's carpeting. Genuine floor mats are often crafted with slip resistance so they won't scoot or slide as the mats are walked on. You can even choose floor mats that match your preferred aesthetic. Types of Floor Mats Many Kia vehicles come with carpet floor mats as part of the standard equipment package. Carpet floor mats are adequate if the weather is generally dry, so you can use carpet with confidence during dry summer weather. The advantage of carpet is its soft feel, which may be ideal if you have kids and pets. Cleaning carpet floor mats is as easy as vacuuming and spot cleaning. More durable floor mats are made of rubber or plastic materials. All-weather floor mats are waterproof, resistant to stains, and much more resilient to wear and tear from heavy equipment, sports gear, and more. You may want to choose all-weather floor mats if you frequently camp or if you want to protect your Kia from spilled beverages. What About Cargo Floor Mats? You can also purchase floor mats specifically for your cargo area. Some drivers may prefer to have carpet floor mats for the passenger area of the cabin for the sake of comfort and then upgrade the cargo floor mats to a more durable material to accommodate recreational hobbies. Whether you want to upgrade your carpet floor mats or go with all-weather mats to prepare for outdoor adventures, genuine floor mats are a terrific investment. Call Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH to order mats today.

It doesn't take much to keep your Kia in good shape. With a regular Kia maintenance schedule, you can keep the car running smoothly for years and avoid unexpected repairs. Here are some important service tasks to maintain your car's excellent performance. Get Regular Oil Changes Waiting too long to change your engine oil can damage your Kia's engine and cause issues like overheating and unusual noises. You should change the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, but this isn't a fixed rule. Driving in extreme temperatures, taking frequent short trips, and hauling heavy loads can cause your oil to degrade faster. If you get a maintenance reminder on the instrument display, schedule a service immediately to maintain your engine's health. more Check the Brakes You count on the brakes every time you hit the road, so it makes sense to check them during your routine service. Have the brake pads inspected to make sure they aren't too thin, as this will reduce your Kia's braking performance. If the pads are worn out, and you've noticed a squealing sound when you brake, it's time for a replacement. While you're at it, take a peek at the brake fluid and top it off if it's low. Rotate the Tires Smooth handling starts where the rubber meets the road, and if your tires have uneven tread wear, you'll feel it in the ride. Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles ensures even wear across all tires. This will improve handling and give you better traction in wet conditions and when accelerating, cornering, and braking. If the tires are damaged or nearing the five-year mark, get a new set to maintain great ride quality. Check and Top Off Fluids Your Kia's systems rely on fluids like the coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid to run properly. The coolant regulates engine temperature, and the transmission fluid helps the car shift smoothly. Power steering fluid allows you to steer gently without wrestling the wheel. Check these fluids during your routine car service and top them off if they are low. Replace the Air Filters The engine air filter keeps dirt and debris out of the engine, so have it checked when getting an oil change. If it looks dirty, install a new one to help your engine run better. You'll also enjoy smooth acceleration, quiet operation, and better gas mileage. Get a new cabin air filter as well to improve the air quality inside your Kia. Adhere to these routine care tips to keep your Kia in great shape and ready for everything, from commutes to weekend adventures. If you're due for a service, talk to our team at Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH, and we'll set you up!
