Kia India, the fastest-growing carmaker in the country, is all set to venture into the electric mobility space. This South Korean car manufacturer has officially confirmed that the pre-bookings for its all-electric Kia EV6 will commence in India from May 26, 2022. The launch is expected to take place in June this year. It will be imported to India as a CBU in limited numbers.
Being a fully imported model, one can expect it to be completely similar to the EV6 sold abroad. The all-new Kia EV6 made its world premiere in April 2021. Globally, it is available with several powertrain options and the range-topping version is even more powerful than the Porsche Taycan 4S. Recently, a test mule of its top-spec GT version was spotted undisguised in Hyderabad, India.
The all-electric EV6 features Kia’s latest ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy and looks striking. Talking about specifications, globally it is offered with two battery options – 58 kWh and 77.4 kWh. It is still unclear which version will be on sale in the Indian market. The lower battery-spec model can be had with a 170 hp single-motor & RWD layout or a 235 hp dual-motor & AWD layout.

The larger battery pack is also available with two variants – a 229 hp single-motor with RWD and a 325 hp dual-motor with AWD drivetrain. Moreover, the top-spec GT version with the dual-motor set-up & AWD develops 585 hp and 740 Nm of torque. The Kia EV6 offers a driving range of up to 500 km on a full charge. Upon launch, it will rival the likes of MINI Cooper SE, Volvo XC40 Recharge, etc.
