Kia EV6 in October 2026: 3,790,000 TL, 428 km of Range and 10-80% in 18 Minutes. What It Really Costs in Turkey

Kia's new price list takes effect on October 21, 2026, and puts the EV6 at 3,790,000 TL on the road. There's no campaign discount this month. The price was the same in September, and the June–August lists had it at 3,760,000 TL. The EV6's price has barely moved for several months.

The EV6 doesn't stand out from other electric SUVs in its price range because of its catalog range. It stands out because of its 800-volt architecture. Kia says a 10% to 80% charge takes 18 minutes. In this article we look at what that claim means at Turkey's public charging stations: how many minutes it takes, how much it costs and how the EV6 compares with its rivals.

The Kia EV6 in Turkey: One Version, Clear Specs

Turkey currently gets only one version of the EV6: the 125 kW Elegance, rear-wheel drive, Standard Range. The facelifted EV6 replaces the old 58 kWh battery with a new pack of 63 kWh gross (about 60 kWh usable).

Spec	Kia EV6 Elegance (2026)
On-the-road price (October 2026)	3,790,000 TL
Motor output	125 kW
Drive	Rear-wheel drive
Battery	63 kWh gross (~60 kWh usable)
Range (combined)	428 km
Range (city)	644 km
WLTP consumption	~16.4 kWh/100 km
AC charging	11 kW
DC charging	800 V architecture; top speed needs a 195 kW charger
10-80% DC charge	18 minutes

Kia Turkey's website lists 428 km combined and 644 km in the city. European sources also give a WLTP figure of 428 km for the 63 kWh rear-wheel-drive version. The city figure is so high because EVs are very efficient at low speeds and recover energy through regenerative braking. On the highway, expect less than the combined figure.

What Does 800 Volts Do, and Does Everyone Get 18 Minutes?

Most EVs use a 400 V architecture. The EV6 is built on the Hyundai–Kia group's E-GMP platform and runs at 800 V. Delivering the same power at higher voltage means lower current, so the cables and battery stay cooler. The charging curve can also stay high for longer.

But the 18-minute 10-80% figure comes with a condition. In Kia's own words, reaching top speed requires a charger that can deliver 195 kW. Many public DC stations in Turkey are in the 60–120 kW range, so your charging time depends heavily on which charger you plug into.

Based on the energy delivered to the battery and the station's power, rough times are:

Station class	Approx. 10-80% time	Note
180 kW and above	~18–22 min	Closest to Kia's claim
120 kW	~25–30 min	Typical at highway stations
60 kW	~45 min	Common in supermarket and mall car parks
22 kW AC	Car limited to 11 kW	A 22 kW AC charger still delivers only 11 kW

These times are estimates. Battery temperature, outside temperature and whether the station shares power with another car all affect the result. If you arrive at a station in winter with a cold battery, power may stay low for the first few minutes. Setting the charging station as your destination in the navigation system turns on battery preconditioning, if the car has it.

How Much Does It Cost to Charge an EV6 at a Public Station?

We'll keep the math rounded and transparent, using ADZE Charge's current rates as an example: DC 13.40 TL/kWh, AC 9.40 TL/kWh. Other operators may charge different rates, but the calculation works the same way.

Fast charging from 10% to 80% (DC)

• With ~60 kWh of usable capacity, the 70% window is about 42 kWh.
• Adding ~5% for charging losses, the station bills about 44 kWh.
• 44 kWh × 13.40 TL = about 590 TL

That charge gives you about 300 km at the combined rating (70% of 428 km). At around 120 km/h on the highway the figure drops, and 230–260 km is a more realistic expectation.

Cost per 100 km

Scenario	Consumption	DC (13.40 TL/kWh)	AC (9.40 TL/kWh)
WLTP figure	16.4 kWh/100 km	~220 TL	~154 TL
Mixed real-world use	~18 kWh/100 km	~241 TL	~169 TL
Highway / winter	~20 kWh/100 km	~268 TL	~188 TL

Monthly cost (1,500 km)

A driver doing 1,500 km a month at close to WLTP consumption uses about 246 kWh:

• All DC fast charging: ~3,300 TL
• All public AC charging: ~2,310 TL

A mix usually makes the most sense. Top up on AC during the day at work, in a car park or while shopping, and use DC on the road. That's easier on both your wallet and your battery.

How long does AC charging take?

The EV6's onboard charger is rated at 11 kW. Going from 10% to 100% takes about 54 kWh. With losses, that means about 5–5.5 hours on an 11 kW charger. Plugging into a 22 kW AC charger won't make it faster, because the car still draws only 11 kW. AC charging is ideal when the car will be parked overnight or through a working day.

Watch out for idle fees: At most public stations, a per-minute idle fee starts if the cable stays plugged in after charging ends. Because the EV6 reaches 80% in 20–30 minutes on a fast charger, a long coffee break can cost more than the charge itself. Keep the app's "charging complete" notification turned on.

How It Compares With Rivals

At 3.79 million TL, the EV6 sits in the upper-middle segment of the Turkish market. The figures below come from each model's current list price in Turkey and the manufacturer's published specs.

Model	Price (October 2026)	Range	Fast charge (10-80%)
Kia EV6 Elegance	3,790,000 TL	428 km	18 min
Togg T10X V1 RWD Long Range	2,219,668 TL	523 km	~28 min
Tesla Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive	2,474,985 TL	—	—
Škoda Enyaq	4,099,900 TL	533 km	24 min
Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+	4,612,000 TL	422 km	—
Audi Q4 e-tron	~4,830,000 TL	563 km	27 min

A "—" means we couldn't find verified data for Turkey, so we left the cell blank.

What the table shows:

1. The EV6 doesn't lead on price per kilometer of range. The Togg T10X Long Range costs about 1.57 million TL less and offers 95 km more range on paper. If your only question is "how far on one charge," the EV6 doesn't win.
2. On charging speed, the EV6 is among the best in its class. Its 18 minutes is faster than every other model in the table. For frequent long-distance drivers, that saves 6–10 minutes at every stop.
3. It's cheaper than its German premium rivals. The EQA 250+ and Audi Q4 e-tron cost 800,000 to 1 million TL more than the EV6, and the EQA's range is almost the same.

In short, the EV6's story in Turkey is less range, much faster charging. The battery is small, but it fills up very quickly.

Who Is It For?

Good fit:

• Drivers who make at least one intercity trip a week and don't want to waste time at charging stops
• People with limited charging access at home or in their residential complex who rely mostly on public DC chargers. Short charging times also mean less risk of idle fees.
• Buyers who care about design and driving character and like the "fastback SUV" body style

Less of a fit:

• Drivers who want the longest possible range on a single charge. Long-range rivals make more sense for them.
• Buyers with a budget of 2–2.5 million TL. In that range, Togg and Tesla are strong alternatives.

Road Trip Example: Istanbul to Izmir

Let's take a real scenario: the roughly 480 km highway drive from Istanbul to Izmir.

• Assume you set off with a full battery. At around 120 km/h, realistic range is ~300–330 km.
• When you drop to 15–20% somewhere on the Bursa–Balıkesir stretch, you'll need a DC stop.
• At a 120 kW station, going from 20% to 80% takes about 20–25 minutes and costs about 500 TL.
• You arrive in Izmir with 15–25% battery left.

At about 20 kWh/100 km, the whole trip uses ~96 kWh, and close to half of that comes from the DC charger on the way. Compared with the fuel cost of the same trip in a petrol car using 7 l/100 km, the difference is clear. Still, the savings grow the more of your charging you do at home or on AC.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Kia EV6 cost in Turkey?

According to Kia Turkey's price list dated October 21, 2026, the EV6 125 kW Elegance costs 3,790,000 TL on the road. There's no campaign discount in October. Check with an authorized dealer for the exact price.

Does the Kia EV6 really charge in 18 minutes?

Yes, but only under the right conditions: from 10% to 80% with a warm battery, at a station that can deliver 195 kW. At a 120 kW station it takes about 25–30 minutes, and at a 60 kW station about 45 minutes.

How much does it cost to charge an EV6 at a public station?

At a DC rate of 13.40 TL/kWh, a 10-80% fast charge costs about 590 TL. At an AC rate of 9.40 TL/kWh, a 10-100% charge costs about 510 TL. Driving 100 km costs ~220–270 TL on DC and ~155–190 TL on AC.

Does the EV6 charge faster at a 22 kW AC station?

No. The EV6's onboard charger is 11 kW, so it draws 11 kW even when plugged into a 22 kW AC charger. A 10-100% charge takes about 5–5.5 hours.

Conclusion

As of October 2026, the Kia EV6 isn't competing in Turkey for "longest range." It's competing for "shortest stop." For 3.79 million TL it offers 428 km of combined range, and its real advantage is one of the fastest DC charging speeds in its class, thanks to the 800 V architecture. If you drive long distances often and don't want to lose time at stops, you'll notice the difference on every trip. If you want the most kilometers from one charge, look at its rivals.

To top up your EV6 quickly on the road, find the nearest DC station in the ADZE Charge app.
