Kia EV6
2024 · ev, suv

Coverage: Fewer plug-in hybrids are ranked for 2024 than for 2023 or 2025. EPA's 2024 fuel-economy file, the source of every US car in these standings, lists no plug-in version of several cars it lists for both of those years, among them the Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, Kia Niro, BMW X5, Volvo S90 and Porsche Cayenne. Those plug-in hybrids are missing from the 2024 standings, not ranked low.

8 measured figures
8 of the 10 figures this market publishes for a car like this one are measured for this car. This market publishes no overall score, so there is no share of a composite weight to measure confidence against; figures_measured says how many of this market's figures the row carries, and contributing_publishers says who measured them

Figures this car does not carry

Fuel economyNot published for this carFuel economy is published for cars burning a liquid fuel — petrol, diesel and hybrid — whose economy is measured in miles per actual gallon; this car is not one of them, so the figure is not the same quantity for it
Tailpipe CO₂ (charge-weighted)Not published for this carthis car's CO₂ is published as the tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle (0 g/km), not as a composite weighted across electric and fuel-burning miles, so it is not the quantity this list orders. It is published as Tailpipe CO₂

5-Year Running Costs

Totalnot estimated — a component above is unknown or modelled

Running costs only — the purchase price is not included. The five-year running cost is an ESTIMATE, not a measurement of this car: only its fuel half is computed from the car's own measured consumption and a dated pump price (see fuel_price_source and fuel_price_as_of in the market's own figures); insurance, maintenance and repairs are class models. It orders no list and is not one of this market's published figures. Confidence is low: several components are modelled from class averages.
