Kia slashes EV prices with a new $10,000 discount across the board

Kia is knocking $10,000 off every EV in its lineup, rolling out one of its biggest discount offers yet.

Kia is offering more EV discounts

After the $7,500 federal EV tax credit expired at the end of September, automakers are looking for new ways to offer savings. Like most, Kia is offering rebates and other discounts to make up for the loss.

Earlier this month, Kia launched a new promotion offering a $10,000 customer cash discount across its entire EV lineup.

The savings translate to a 24% discount on Kia’s cheapest electric vehicle, the Niro EV, with an MSRP of $41,045. On the lowest-priced EV6, that’s 23% off MSRP. And on the three-row EV9, $10,000 off MSRP is an 18% discount.

Last month, Kia was offering up to $8,500 in customer cash for the 2025 Niro EV and $9,000 on the 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9.

Although $10,000 is a pretty good deal, you might be better off financing. Kia is offering 0% APR for 72 months on all 2025 EV6 trims, plus an extra $2,500 financing bonus.

Looking for something a little more sporty? Kia is offering up to $16,500 in lease cash on the 641-horsepower EV6 GT. The larger EV9 is also available with 0% APR financing, but only for up to 60 months.

Both the EV6 and EV9 now feature a built-in NACS port so you can recharge at one of the over 21,500 Tesla Superchargers across the US.

Kia is listing 2025 Niro EV leases as low as $209 per month (for 24 months). The EV6 and EV9 are available with monthly leases starting at $309 and $419, respectively.

Matching Hyundai.

At first I thought this was old news, then realized Kia didn't drop prices when Hyundai did. I tend to assume the two brands do everything in lock step, which clearly isn't the case.

This is great to see. Affordable EV's for the masses. While Ford and GM shied away from a $7,500 discount because of America First interference. Here we are. South Korea will grab the market share Ford and GM will inevitably ceed.

The South Koreans certainly seem to have cracked the code.

The current offers end on December 1, 2025. To take advantage of the deal, you must take delivery of the vehicle by the date.

Although $10,000 off is pretty significant, some automakers are offering $15,000 or more off electric vehicles. Honda, for example, is offering nearly $17,000 off the Prologue SUV.

Kia’s new promotion comes after Hyundai extended its $189-per-month IONIQ 5 lease offer this month, keeping one of the best EV deals in the US alive. Hyundai and Kia have both committed to keeping EV prices affordable.
