Electric bargain: The Kia EV6 is now available used in Spain for just 23,990 euros

The Kia EV6 is one of those cars that, from the very beginning, made it clear the Korean brand wanted to compete at a higher level. It’s not exactly an SUV, nor an electric sedan or a conventional compact car. It has a very distinctive silhouette, plenty of space for a family, and above all, a design that still draws attention wherever it goes. The issue was its high retail price. But now it has become a very good option in the used car market.

In Spain, Kia EV6 units are already available on the used market starting at 23,990 euros. For that amount, we can get a 2023 model with less than 20,000 kilometers on the odometer, which begins to make it a compelling alternative compared to much simpler new models.

The approach makes even more sense because the EV6 wasn’t developed as an electric version of a gasoline car. It was created from the start on the E-GMP platform, the same architecture used by the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and this is evident in both its space utilization and charging capabilities. It competed with models like the Volkswagen ID.4, Nissan Ariya, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Tesla Model Y at the time, but with a distinctly different personality.

In addition, the Kia EV6 was named Car of the Year in Europe 2022, an award that accurately reflects the impression it made when it hit the market. It wasn’t just another electric car with a large battery. It featured a unique design, excellent performance, a very dynamic driving experience, and charging technology that remains one of its strongest advantages to this day.

The problem for its first owners is that the depreciation has been significant. A well-equipped EV6 could cost well over 50,000 euros when it first came out, while now we can find units with very low mileage figures that seemed impossible just a few years ago. And this is where one of the great opportunities in the used car market arises.

In Spain, current ads show exactly that situation. There’s a 2023 Kia EV6 RWD Long Range with 18,069 kilometers for 23,990 euros, while there are also 2022 models available for 25,490 euros with 75,303 kilometers, or for 25,990 euros with 127,051 kilometers. There’s even a 2022 EV6 GT-Line RWD Long Range with only 20,500 kilometers listed at 26,900 euros.

The difference between these models shows it’s worth taking your time before buying. For a few thousand euros, we can find cars with huge differences in mileage and equipment, and for a model like this, it’s especially important to check the maintenance history and any updates made.

An electric car that still has a lot to offer

In versions with a 77.4 kWh battery and rear-wheel drive, the EV6 also offers a particularly interesting combination of performance, range, and fuel efficiency. The 168 kW version, equivalent to around 228 horsepower, can achieve up to 528 kilometers of WLTP range in the most favorable configurations. In practice, it will naturally be less, but it remains a very competitive figure for a used car of this size.

That’s exactly why, if the goal is to buy a used EV6 for family use, the RWD Long Range version seems like one of the most interesting options. It features rear-wheel drive, more than sufficient power, and allows for better utilization of the battery capacity compared to two-motor versions. All-wheel drive variants are faster and have greater traction, but they can also consume more energy and reduce the available range.

Above them is the spectacular Kia EV6 GT, equipped with two motors and delivering 430 kW of power, equivalent to 585 horsepower in the European version. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3.5 seconds and offers performance levels that still seem excessive for a family car today.

However, if you’re looking to buy a used EV6 wisely, this might not be the most appealing version. The GT is much more expensive to maintain, and its tires and fuel consumption can be significantly higher. The RWD Long Range offers a much more logical balance for those seeking a car for traveling, taking the family around, and using for many years.

Inside, the EV6 still has a fairly modern appearance. The dashboard is dominated by a large curved surface that houses two 12.3-inch screens, one for instrumentation and the other for the multimedia system. Unlike some newer electric cars, Kia retained physical controls for certain functions, which is a welcome feature when using the car daily.

The rear seats also offer plenty of space thanks to the electric platform and the nearly flat floor. The less favorable aspect is the low ceiling, which gives the EV6 its distinctive silhouette but may slightly limit headroom for taller passengers. The trunk capacity reaches 520 liters, and rear-wheel-drive versions also come with a small storage area in the front.

On the road, the EV6 remains a pleasant car to drive. It has a relatively firm handling setup but provides good body control and a more agile performance than one might expect given its size. The steering doesn’t stand out for delivering excessive feedback, but the overall experience is quiet, comfortable, and sufficiently powerful even in the less high-performance versions.

And here comes another important argument for buying it used: the Kia EV6 doesn’t feel like an old electric car. Although the first units are already a few years old, its platform, electrical architecture, charging capabilities, and interior design enable it to compete fairly well with much newer models.

That said, there are a few points to check before signing. First is the integrated control unit of the charging system, known as ICCU, a component that has been linked to issues in models based on this architecture. Before buying a used EV6, it’s advisable to confirm with Kia that the vehicle has undergone all the necessary service checks, updates, and repairs corresponding to its chassis number.

You should also inspect the 12-volt auxiliary battery, the operation of the multimedia system, the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connections, and any noise coming from the suspension. In a used car weighing almost two tons, special attention should be paid to the condition of the tires, especially in AWD and GT versions.

Software updates are also important. Kia currently provides updates for the 2022-2024 EV6 models, with another version set to release in July 2026, so checking that the unit is up to date is a simple and recommended step before purchasing.

Another advantage is the warranty. In Spain, Kia offers a coverage period of 7 years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, and this warranty is transferred to the next owner. This means a vehicle registered in 2022 can still retain official coverage for some time, depending on its first registration date and compliance with the brand’s requirements.

In summary, the Kia EV6 is entering that segment of the used market where the value for money it offers is particularly attractive. Units are already available in Spain starting at 23,990 euros, and for around 25,000–26,000 euros, it’s possible to find models with good equipment and, in some cases, very low mileage.

It isn’t the newest electric car nor one with the most impressive range figures for 2026, but it doesn’t need to be. Its 800-volt platform, large-capacity battery, interior space, design, and excellent performance keep it a highly competitive vehicle. And when we can get an EV6 Long Range with low mileage at the price of a new compact electric car, buying used becomes highly sensible.
