Kia India has opened bookings for the 2023 Kia EV6 in India, months after selling all 432 units allotted to India during its launch in 2022. The South Korean automaker is also offering exclusive ownership privileges to the first 200 buyers, which include 95 percent buyback policy within 30 days, free periodic maintenance for 5 years, and 8 years/160000 kms warranty on the battery. The 2023 Kia EV6 is available in two variants: GT Line and GT Line AWD at an ex-showroom price of Rs 60.95 lakh and Rs 65.95 lakh respectively.
Kia will launch the EV6 as its first electric car in June 2022, starting its electrification journey in India. The EV6 is built on Kia’s dedicated EV platform, the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Apart from ultra-fast DC charging and vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, it gets a certified range of 708km. The Kia EV6 is available in five colors – Runway Red, Yacht Blue, Moonscape, Aurora Black Pearl and Snow White Pearl.
The company is working towards improving the EV charging infrastructure in the country. In August 2022, Kia rolled out India’s first and fastest ‘240 kWh’ charger. The company plans to expand its EV dealership footprint to 60 outlets in 44 cities from 15 select dealerships in 12 cities at the time of launch last year. Kia India also plans to expand the 150 kW high-speed charger network to all 60 outlets from the existing 15 dealerships.
