Kia To Start Deliveries Of EV6 From September 2022 | V3Cars

Kia have set the booking amount at Rs. 3 lakh for the EV6 and upon cancellation, Rs. 50,000 will be deducted from the refund. In addition to that, there is no clause for altering the spec and colour once the booking is confirmed. Kia India aim to import 100 units of the EV6 as part of the first lot.

The Kia EV6 is based on Kia’s new Opposite United design philosophy and thanks to its curvy proportions, it looks deceivingly compact for its size. Kia India will only offer the EV6 with the GT Line trim. Some design highlights include all-LED adaptive headlights, connected LED taillights with sequential turn indicators, flush-fitting door handles, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The EV6 gets a charging port inside the right tail light casing that supports both 400V and 800V chargers.

Other features include a 14-speaker Meridian sound setup, electric sunroof, electric seats for both driver and passenger, 3-pin charging sockets, under-cowl storage in the centre console, i-pedal driving, electric tailgate, regenerative braking and AR-enabled head-up display. The India-spec EV6 will also boast a good set of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that are likely to be revealed closer to its launch.

• Rear cross-traffic avoidance assist (RCTA)
• Safe exit assist (SEA)
• Blind spot collision avoidance assist (BCA)

• Driver attention warning (DAW)

The India-spec Kia EV6 will come with a 77.4kWh battery pack and a WLTP-certified range of 528km on a single charge. Kia are likely to offer two drivetrain options with the EV6 — rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD). The EV6 RWD produces 229PS of power whereas the EV6 AWD delivers 325PS of power and 605Nm of torque. The latter is capable of hitting 0-100kmph in 5.2 seconds. The Kia EV6 is also capable of charging multiple appliances and other vehicles through its vehicle to load (V2L) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) charging technology.

The Kia EV6 is likely to be priced around Rs. 60 lakh for the GT Line AWD variant. When launched, it will take on the upcoming Volvo XC40 Recharge as well as its step-sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
