Kia, a popular South Korean automobile manufacturer, has launched the EV6, a 5-seater all-electric SUV, in India. The car can now be booked by potential buyers at their nearest Kia dealership or through the official website.
The EV6 was first announced in June 2022 and has already gained considerable attention, with 432 units sold even before its official launch in India. The vehicle is built on the innovative Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which promises improved performance, efficiency, and range compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
The EV6 comes in two trims: the GT Line and the GT Line all-wheel drive. Both trims offer exciting features such as fast charging and smart interior capabilities, making them highly attractive to car enthusiasts looking for a more modern and sustainable driving experience.
The EV6's fast charging capabilities are particularly noteworthy, as it can charge up to 80% in just 18 minutes using a 350-kW charger. Additionally, the car's smart interior features include a panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, and an augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD) that projects information onto the windshield.
The all-electric SUV, Kia EV6, is not only a visually stunning vehicle, but it also packs a punch in terms of range and benefits. The car comes in five distinct colours, including Runway Red, Yacht Blue, Moonscape, Aurora Black Pearl, and Snow White Pearl, giving potential buyers plenty of options to choose from.
In addition to its striking appearance, the EV6 boasts an impressive ARAI-certified range of 708 kilometres on a single charge. This range is expected to appeal to buyers who want a vehicle that can go long distances without needing frequent recharging.
Furthermore, Kia India has sweetened the deal for early adopters by announcing several benefits for the first 200 customers. These benefits include a 95% buyback policy within a month, free periodic maintenance for 5 years, and an 8-year/160000-kilometre battery warranty. These offers make the EV6 an even more compelling option for buyers looking for a premium electric SUV.
Mr Myung-sik Sohn, the Chief Sales and Business Strategy Officer of Kia India, expressed his excitement about the EV6's release in the Indian market, saying "We are excited that with Kia EV6, a new performance-driven drive experience is now available for customers looking for a premium ride. I am pleased to announce that reservations for our popular premium EV, the Kia EV6, have begun for 2023."
