Kia EV6 : The electric car movement in India seems to be accelerating and Kia has taken a giant lap through the new flagship electric car — the Kia EV6.
This isn’t just another EV; it’s a resounding and bold machine that oozes style and features and snaps necks in the process.
With a load of clever tech, a robust electric powertrain and a design so space-age it looks like it’s just popped through a time tunnel, the EV6 brings a welcome twist of excitement to the burgeoning sector.
Based on Kia’s new dedicated EV platform, the E-GMP, the EV6 is a departure in the way the brand hopes to be perceived — modern, bold and performance-oriented.
Though it’s on the more expensive side, the cost will be easy to justify when you consider what you get — its pricey competition had better watch out.
Eye-Grabbing Design With the shelf on top and a neutral black color, it’s crafted in a way that looks really cool.
At first glance, the Kia EV6 doesn’t necessarily register as an electric car. It’s one that looks bold, sporty, and aerodynamic.
The crossover-inspired profile blends SUV stance with coupe contours. Slick LED headlamps, sharply done character lines, aggressive alloy wheels and a futuristic rear light bar all add up to a striking road presence.
Fully electric, the EV6 doesn’t skimp on size or style. It is long and wide and rides boldly on the road — with the presence of a fine European car.
It’s an all-sides rounded look — modern and muscled and earns “dhakad” by virtue of its fearless appearance.
Premium and Futuristic Cabin
Climb in, and the EV6 all but smacks you in the face with a cabin that feels next-gen. The dashboard is dominated by two curved 12.3-inch screens — one for the instrument cluster, and another for infotainment.
The screens are sharp, responsive, and packed with functionality as navigation, media, drive data and EV settings.
The cabin has a flat floor design, and the effects of ambient lighting and high-quality upholsteries also make it look spacious and elegant.
The seats are ventilated, and can be adjusted electronically, complete with driver memory.
The rear seat is extremely comfortable as well, offering lots of leg, head, and shoulder room attributable to the long wheelbase.
Wireless charging, a high-end sound system by Meridian, and connected car tech are all on tap, as is a sunroof and a customizable ambient light arrangement, which means the EV6 should feel nice and techy.
Powerful Electric Performance
The Kia EV6 has two trim levels on offer in India — a rear-wheel-drive version with a 77.4 kWh battery and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive model, if you’re looking for more power.
The AWD model develop 325 PS and 605 Nm of torque enough to see it out drag many a petrol powered performance SUV.
Despite smashing the 0-100km/h sprint in 5.2sec, the EV6 glides around town silently and with refinement.
The claimed range is approximately 500-528 km, depending on the variant and which makes it enjoyable for day-to-day use as well as highway runs.
There’s also next-level charging speed that is able to take you from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in less than 20 minutes using a 350kW charger – a giant step toward EV convenience.
