Kia India has delivered 200 units of the Kia EV6 to customers till date. This number is already twice the initially planned 100 units for the entire year. The company is planning to further increase the total allocation of EV6 in 2022 and complete most of the pending deliveries within this year.
The Kia EV6 is the brand’s first electric vehicle in the country. It was launched in June 2022; however, the deliveries to customers began last month. The Kia EV6 received an overwhelming response from Indian customers with 355 bookings received even before its launch and these booking numbers have grown since then. Kia India will be delivering additional units to customers in the upcoming days.
Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India said “The EV6 is considered to be amongst the most sophisticated products by Kia ever and is a demonstration of our technological prowess and capabilities. At the launch of EV6, amid the very positive response received, we had promised our customers to bring in more units of the EV6, over and above the initially allotted 100 units for 2022. Going forward, our focus will be on completing the deliveries of all the existing and new bookings at the earliest. The EV6 made electric mobility a fun and joyful experience for our customers, and I am confident that the EV6 will be a common sight on Indian roads in the upcoming days.”
The new Kia EV6 electric crossover has been priced at Rs 59.95 lakh and Rs 64.95 lakh for the RWD and AWD variant respectively. It is designed on the brand’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that will also be used in the future Kia electric car range. It comes fitted with a 77.4kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can be had with either RWD or AWD setup. While the RWD version with single motor delivers power around 226bhp and the AWD variant with dual-motor offers 321bhp. The company claims that the new EV6 offers a range of up to 528km (WLTP cycle) in the RWD and 425km in the AWD.
