Kia India has announced that it has reopened bookings for its highly anticipated electric car, the 2023 Kia EV6. This marks the return of the EV6 booking process in India, after the initial wave of bookings was quickly sold out. The South Korean automaker is offering two variants of the EV6 in the Indian market – the GT Line and GT Line AWD. The price of the former is fixed at Rs 60.95 lakh, while the latter comes in at Rs 65.95 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom). Prospective buyers can book their cars at Kia dealerships or online on the company’s official website.
Range and Performance
The 2023 Kia EV6 is built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which is a dedicated EV platform by Kia. The company claims that the EV6 offers an ARAI certified range of up to 708 km on a full charge, which is an impressive feat. Additionally, the EV6 offers a WLTP-certified (European standard) range of 500 km, which provides customers with the confidence that they won’t be running out of power anytime soon.
The EV6 also comes with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which allows the car to be used as a power source for electrical equipment or to charge another vehicle. With this feature, the EV6 is not only a great car but also an effective power source in case of emergencies.
Features
The 2023 Kia EV6 is packed with features that make it a serious competitor to many luxury brands. One of the most notable features is the flowing curved HD display screen for the main infotainment as well as the driver display. The front two seats get a zero-gravity recline function, while the panoramic sunroof adds to the feeling of spaciousness inside the cabin. The car also comes with multiple charging options, ambient lighting, a power outlet under the rear seat for charging home devices, and more.
Special Offer
Kia India is offering exclusive ownership privileges to the first 200 buyers of the 2023 Kia EV6. These privileges include a 95% buyback policy within 30 days, free periodic maintenance for five years, and 8 years/160000 kms warranty on the battery. This is a fantastic offer and one that prospective buyers shouldn’t miss out on.
Charging Infrastructure
Kia India is committed to improving the EV charging infrastructure in the country. In August 2022, Kia installed India’s first and fastest ‘240 kWh’ charger, which is a significant step towards the company’s goal of establishing a robust EV charging network in India. Kia India plans to expand its EV dealership footprint to 60 outlets in 44 cities, up from the current 15 select dealerships in 12 cities. The company also plans to expand the 150 kW high-speed charger network to all 60 outlets from the existing 15 dealerships.
Conclusion
The 2023 Kia EV6 is an exciting new addition to India’s growing EV market. With an impressive range of up to 708 km on a full charge, the car offers customers the confidence to embark on long journeys without any range anxiety. The EV6 also comes with a host of features that make it a great value proposition for prospective buyers. Additionally, Kia India’s commitment to expanding the EV charging infrastructure in the country is a step in the right direction towards building a sustainable future.
