The 2026 Kia EV6 GT Is Not Coming To The U.S.

"Offering tremendous value and exhilarating performance to customers across Kia's full range of vehicles is paramount, but due to changing market conditions, the 2026 EV6 GT will be delayed until further notice. This delay does not impact the availability of other trims in the EV6 lineup, which are proudly assembled in our world-class facility in West Point, Georgia."

"Sales of the Kia EV6 as a whole have been rough, to say the least, after the $7,500 federal tax credit went out the window late last year. In this year's first two months, Kia sold just 1,140 EV6s in the U.S., less than half compared to the same period last year."

"The 2025 Kia EV6 GT debuted alongside the rest of the lineup at last year's LA Auto Show with a $65,345 MSRP. It featured a new face, an updated interior with a new infotainment system, a bigger high-voltage battery, and a Tesla-style NACS charging port."

Kia has indefinitely delayed the 2026 EV6 GT in the United States, removing it from the automaker's online configurator. The decision stems from significantly reduced EV6 sales after the $7,500 federal tax credit expired, with only 1,140 units sold in the first two months of 2025, down more than 50% year-over-year. The EV6 GT, the most expensive trim, was particularly affected by a 15% tariff on Korean imports. Other EV6 trims assembled at Kia's West Point, Georgia facility remain unaffected and available for purchase. The delay reflects challenging market conditions rather than production issues.
