The automobile industry is not leaving an inch to adapt to the latest technology. Kia Motors made headlines with the All-new Kia EV6 launched in India at Rs 59.95 lakh, ex-showroom. Kia has also installed 150kW chargers in 15 EV-specific dealerships across 12 cities in India, and deliveries will be done before the year end. The car looks promising within a week around 400 bookings have been made. The EV6 will be offered in two trims — GT-Line All-wheel-drive (AWD) and GT-Line (RWD) while being sold as a CBU in India. Kia feels this is the quickest way to bring the EV6 into the country especially like India. The new car ranges
Kia EV6 GT-Line – Rs 59.95 lakh
Kia EV6 GT-Line All-wheel-drive – Rs 64.95 lakh
Both prices are ex-showroom.
The new EV6 can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes with a 350 kW DC fast charger, and when using a 50 kW charger, it takes 73 minutes. The batteries are floor-mounted for a lower centre of gravity, which translates to better handling. In India, the Kia EV6 will be offered in four colour options: Aurora Black Pearl, Runway Red, Snow WHite Pearl, Moonscape. The all new Kia EV6 gets a host of safety features that include 8 airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, forward-collision control, ISOFIX seat anchors, blind-spot warning, dynamic cruise control, lane changing assist, front vehicle indicator and leading vehicle departure alert, and a 360-degree camera. The safety features inside the car are outstanding especially seeing the road standard in countries like India.
The Kia also features a 14-speaker Meridian system with smartphone connectivity which makes it better in terms of music performance. The car is equipped with an advanced technology system.
