Kia EV6 Warranty and Servicing
![Kia EV6 GT in front of EV6 GT-Line and Polestar 2 in rural Australia Kia EV6 GT in front of EV6 GT-Line and Polestar 2 in rural Australia](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2Fo5m1ex7g%2Fproduction%2F58e178abc4d7737bef28a09b04ef706408301318-1920x1280.jpg&w=1080&q=75)
The Kia electric car is backed by a seven-year, unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty and a seven-year/150,000km battery warranty.
There’s also up to eight years of roadside assistance coverage when serviced with Kia’s nationwide dealers and capped-priced servicing is available for the first seven maintenance visits.
Servicing is required every 12 months/15,000km.
Owners can also buy three-, five- and seven-year prepaid service plans for $594, $1089 and $1584 respectively – but all aren’t cheaper than regular ‘pay as you go’ servicing.
For the EV6 GT, it's more expensive at $733 for three years, $1371 for five years, and $2013 for seven years.
