New Delhi: Kia has officially launched the facelift version of its luxury electric car, the Kia EV6, in the Indian market. The updated model comes with significant improvements in battery capacity, design, and performance. The ex-showroom price for the Kia EV6 facelift starts at ₹65.9 lakh. The company has introduced only the AWD GT-Line variant in India, ensuring a premium experience for electric vehicle enthusiasts.
Kia EV6 Power and Performance
The new Kia EV6 GT-Line comes equipped with dual electric motors placed in the front, offering an all-wheel drive (AWD) system. These powerful motors generate an impressive 325 hp and a peak torque of 605 Nm. This enables the electric car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest EVs in its segment. The vehicle is also designed to decelerate rapidly, taking only 0.1 seconds to slow down efficiently.
Enhanced Battery and Extended Range
One of the biggest upgrades in the facelifted Kia EV6 is its new 84 kWh Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) battery pack. This is a notable improvement over the previous 77.4 kWh battery pack, making it not only lighter but also delivering 8% more power. With this enhanced battery, Kia claims that the EV6 can now offer a remarkable driving range of up to 663 kilometers on a single charge, making it a highly efficient choice for long-distance travel.
Kia EV6 Charging Time
Charging capabilities have also been improved in the Kia EV6 facelift. The vehicle supports ultra-fast charging with a 350 kW DC charger, which can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes. For those using a 50 kW DC charger, the charging time increases to 73 minutes. This fast-charging capability makes the EV6 one of the most convenient electric vehicles in the market for users looking for quick recharging solutions.
With its cutting-edge technology, superior range, and fast-charging features, the new Kia EV6 facelift is set to redefine luxury electric mobility in India. The updated model brings a compelling option for EV enthusiasts looking for high performance and advanced features in the premium electric car segment.
