Make no mistake, the Kia EV6 GT is a phenomenal high-performance electric vehicle but with an MSRP of $62,925, it’s not exactly affordable. Fortunately, shoppers in the U.S. thinking about placing an order could be eligible to save as much as $10,500 thanks to some generous new discounts.
Those looking to buy the EV6 GT will receive $5,000 in Customer Cash on it and all other versions of the EV6. In addition, Kia has announced a $1,000 Bonus Cash incentive on the EV6 GT and is also offering a $1,000 loyalty discount for returning customers. The discounts for those looking to lease are even larger.
Cars Direct notes that those who lease the EV6 GT will receive $8,500 in lease cash at signing and can stack this discount with the same $1,000 Bonus Cash offer and a $1,000 loyalty discount for returning customers. This equates to a total of $10,500 and cuts the car’s MSRP to a more manageable $52,425. It’s possible that individual dealers will also offer incentives and discounts of their own that could make the savings even more significant. By comparison, a Tesla Model Y Performance is available for $54,490 before incentives.
