Kia has finally launched its much-awaited EV6 electric crossover today. The brand offers the all-new Kia EV6 electric car to the Indian markets at a starting price of Rs 59.95 lakhs. The vehicle will be brought to the Indian shores via the CBU route. However, only 100 units of the brand-new electric crossover will be sold in the country this year. The South Korean automaker has reportedly received about 355 pre-bookings already. The Kia EV6 bookings commenced on May 26th this year. Deliveries of the electric vehicle are expected to begin in September 2022.
The new EV6 Electric will be offered in two variants, GT Line and GT Line AWD. The two variants differ from each other by only their powertrain. It is based on the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s e-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) architecture. The India-spec model of the new electric car will be offered in a single 77.4kWh Li-ion battery pack. The RWD EV6 range, as per the WLTP cycle, can go up to 528km, while its AWD version can cover up to 425km on a single charge.
