KIA IS OFFERING HUGE INCENTIVES UP TO $10,000 ON ITS EVS IN NOVEMBER
The Trump administration eliminated the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles. That move hurt manufacturers building EVs, with the credit no longer subsidizing lower sticker prices or, through a commercial sales loophole, incredible lease deals. However, nothing is precluding manufacturers from offering their own incentives to move their EV inventories. And Kia is doing just that in a big way in November.
Kia Is Offering $10,000 Off All Of Its Electric Vehicles In November 2025
Kia currently sells three EVs in America: the Niro EV, the EV6, and the EV9. As CarsDirect uncovered, all three are now receiving a $10,000 discount as part of a month-long sales event. That $10,000 discount could mean up to 24% off the sticker price for a Niro EV, 23% off for the EV6 and 18% off on the EV9. A quick search at my local dealer revealed Kia offering $3,000 to $4,000 in dealer cash on top of the manufacturer discount.
And, oddly enough, accepting the $10,000 off may not be the best deal on those Kia EVs. Buyers can alternatively take 0% APR financing for 72 months on both the EV6 and the Niro EV with a $2,500 discount. The Kia EV9 is offering the same discount but with 0% APR financing for 60 months.
Kia's EV Discount Is Actually Bigger Than Dodge's Incentives On The Charger Daytona
Dodge has had notable difficulty trying to sell its all-electric Charger Daytona muscle car. We've seen Dodge offer some relatively healthy incentives to move those off dealer lots. Dodge is currently offering buyers either 0% APR for 72 months or $7,750 in bonus cash on a Charger Daytona, which is less than Kia is offering. However, both Dodge offers come with zero payments for the first 90 days.
Kia is not, however, offering the biggest EV discounts right now. Polestar is currently matching Kia's $10,000 cash offer on the Polestar 3. Buyers can also opt for 0% APR financing for 72 months plus a $7,500 credit. Polestar is also offering potential customers $0 down and $18,000 in cash on lease payments for the Polestar 3.
Tariffs Have Also Affected Kia's Future EV Plans In The United States
US import tariffs have affected Kia's plans for the U.S. market. Kia confirmed to CarBuzz that it has put plans for the affordable EV4 sedan, supposed to deliver up to 330 miles of range, on an indefinite hiatus (it would not surprise us if it became permanent). Unlike the EV6 and the EV9, Kia had planned to build that model in South Korea. The Kia EV5, a smaller South Korean-built crossover, is also not coming to America.
One Kia EV that still appears to be on track is the electric pickup truck. Kia revealed at its Investor Day last Spring that it plans to build an electric truck for America on a new EV platform, with ambitious plans to sell 90,000 units per year. Kia would likely build that truck alongside the EV6 in Georgia. Kia has not yet provided a firm timeline for the new truck's launch.
