2025 Kia EV6 Smart Parking & Smartphone Control

Park Hands-Free with Your Phone: Discover the 2025 Kia EV6 Smart Parking

The 2025 Kia EV6 introduces Remote Smart Park Assist 2, a sonar-based system that lets you manoeuvre into parallel, perpendicular or diagonal spots from outside the vehicle using only your smartphone or key fob. By handling steering, acceleration and braking, RSPA 2 removes the stress of tight urban parking and delivers a clear view of the process through your phone’s screen. This hands-free approach frees you from contorting behind the wheel, making congested lots and narrow spaces simple.

Beyond parking, your phone becomes a digital command centre: it doubles as a secure key via Digital Key 2.0, grants remote climate preconditioning to warm or cool the cabin before entry, and displays live charging status. Kia’s North American Charging Standard port expands fast-charger access across Canada and the U.S., while over-the-air software updates keep navigation, infotainment and powertrain systems current without a dealer visit. Combined with a curved dual 12.3″ display and advanced driver aids, EV6’s connected suite puts control—and confidence—in your hands.

  • Activate Remote Smart Park Assist 2 by selecting the parking mode on your EV6 app or key fob, then guide your EV6 into tight spots safely from outside the vehicle.
  • Precondition battery and cabin temperature remotely through the Kia Connect app before departure to maximise range and ensure immediate comfort on cold Manitoba mornings.
  • Monitor charging progress and locate compatible NACS fast chargers using your smartphone’s live map, then verify recharge times to plan longer trips with confidence.
  • Initiate over-the-air software updates via the dual 12.3″ curved display to download and install the latest navigation maps, infotainment apps and performance enhancements without a service visit.
  • Engage advanced driver assists—Highway Driving Assist 2 and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2—during a demonstration drive to experience how they maintain safe distances and prevent incidents on busy routes.

By transforming your smartphone into a comprehensive vehicle controller—for parking, climate, charging and updates—the EV6 streamlines ownership and removes common EV anxieties, delivering seamless convenience for Winnipeg drivers in every season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Remote Smart Park Assist 2 keep me safe while I park?

RSPA 2 uses ultrasonic sonar sensors around the EV6 to map surrounding obstacles in real time. While you stand outside with your phone or key fob, the system autonomously controls steering, throttle and braking to execute precise perpendicular, parallel or diagonal parking. Built-in safeguards immediately halt manoeuvres if unexpected objects appear, ensuring both convenience and safety in tight spaces.

What smartphone features enhance my EV6 experience beyond parking?

Your phone functions as a secure Digital Key 2.0, enabling keyless lock/unlock and engine start. Through the Kia Connect app, you can schedule and monitor charging sessions—including NACS-compatible fast chargers—receive live battery-level updates, and precondition the cabin temperature before walking out your door. USB-C and wireless charging pads in the cabin keep devices powered for uninterrupted connectivity.

How do over-the-air updates work and what can they improve?

The EV6’s OTA system downloads software patches wirelessly whenever an internet connection is available. These updates can enhance powertrain efficiency, refresh navigation map data, introduce new infotainment features and refine driver-assist algorithms. By eliminating mandatory dealership visits, OTA ensures your EV6 benefits from continuous improvements throughout its lifespan, making the vehicle more capable and future-proof.

Which driver-assist technologies complement the smart parking feature?

Beyond RSPA 2, the EV6 offers Highway Driving Assist 2, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering for semi-autonomous highway travel, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, which warns of—and can even apply brakes to prevent—impending collisions. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance further bolster awareness, ensuring confident control in all driving conditions.
