Kia India has announced today that it will soon commence the bookings for the 2023 EV6 in the domestic market. The EV6 flagship electric crossover made its market debut in June 2022 and it has been well-received by customers. The South Korean auto major has delivered 432 units of the EV6 in India and on the back of good response, it is bringing the 2023 model.
The brand has noted that the final deliveries turned out to be more than four times the originally planned numbers for India. The Kia EV6 is the recipient of many coveted awards across the globe including the prestigious 2023 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, 2022 European Car of the Year, 2022 Korean Car of the Year, 2022 Car of the Year & SUV of the Year at the Red Dot Awards, etc.
The 2023 Kia EV6 has been made available in two variants namely GT Line and GT Line AWD in India. It is priced at Rs. 60.95 lakh and Rs. 65.95 lakh respectively (both, ex-showroom). Speaking of the announcement, Tae-Jin Park, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Kia India, said
“We are thrilled with the response to our first premium EV offering, the EV6, which has established itself as a design and technology marvel and has won multiple awards since its launch. As a symbol of our commitment to electrification and sustainability, the EV6 has created history by becoming one of the best-selling products in its first year. We are proud to be leading the way towards a more sustainable future and will continue to grow the segment to grow our business.”
Kia is currently focussing on importing more units of the EV6 this year. The EV6 is the first Kia model to sit on the dedicated E-GMP skateboard architecture and it has recently given rise to the three-row EV9 globally. The company has expanded the dealer network to 60 outlets across 44 cities for the EV6.
It is now planning to expand the 150 kW high-speed charger network from the existing 15 dealerships to all 60 outlets across the country as well. In August 2022, Kia installed the country’s first and fastest 240 kWh charger. The EV6 is capable of ultra-fast DC charging, vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality and a flat floor enabling a roomy interior.
It has a claimed driving range of 708 km on a single charge and is sold in five exterior shades namely Runway Red, Yacht Blue, Moonscape, Aurora Black Pearl, and Snow White Pearl.
