Who Requires a $7,500 Tax Credit When Kia Cuts EV Prices by $10,000 | Carscoops

      Kia is currently providing various attractive financing and leasing options for its electric vehicles (EVs).

      The Kia Niro EV, EV6, and EV9 are now available with a discount of $10,000.

      This discount represents a 24 percent reduction on the price of the 2025 Niro EV.

      Sales of the EV6 and EV9 significantly declined during the slower market in October.

      Last month, Kia’s EV sales in the US faced significant challenges after the government removed the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs. However, the brand is actively seeking to enhance its battery-powered model sales by implementing substantial discounts across its entire EV lineup, aiming to boost demand in a more challenging market than anticipated.

      The company announced that the 2025 Niro EV now features a customer cash offer of $10,000, increased from $8,500 previously. This increase amounts to a 24 percent discount on the base model, lowering its price to a more accessible $31,045.

      Additionally, the 2025 EV6 is also available with the same $10,000 discount, resulting in as much as a 23 percent reduction in price. The newer 2026 EV9 joins the promotion as well, with the same dollar amount corresponding to an 18 percent discount.

      It’s important to note that Kia states the offer is "subject to vehicle availability and dealer participation." Customers must also take delivery of their new vehicle by January 12.

      Both the EV6 and EV9 were already eligible for a $9,000 discount prior to these incentives, so the additional $1,000 may not be a major change, but it provides shoppers with another incentive to consider electric options. Having an extra $1,000 saved is always beneficial.

      Kia has also introduced other attractive EV deals. For example, the 2025 EV6 and Niro EV are available with 0 percent APR financing for 72 months and come with a $2,500 incentive.

      Similarly, the 2026 EV9 offers the same 0 percent financing rate over 60 months. Certain trims of the EV6, including the GT variant, can be leased with up to $16,500 in lease cash.
