Only 1,000 units will be produced for the special edition. Kia is featuring a model-specific paint called Deep Forest Green to set it apart. According to Kia America, the EV6 will include black exterior elements such as wheel arches, side skirts, and mirrors, which are borrowed components from the EV6 Wind variant.
The limited-run electric crossover will adopt the 20-inch alloy wheels and sunroof from the EV6 GT-Line. According to Kia America, the limited-run electric crossover will showcase NACTOY medallions and a preview silhouette of the vehicle located near the gear selector.
