Kia India is also planning to launch the new EV6 electric crossover in India, with prices to be revealed on June 2, 2022. This is the company's first electric vehicle, and 15 of them have been sent to dealerships as demonstration vehicles. The EV6 has already been released in a number of countries.

The new Kia EV6 is now available for booking at company dealerships for a nominal fee of Rs 3 lakh. The Kia EV6 will be available as a CBU, with only 100 units available in the initial phase. It is expected to have a 77.4 kWh battery pack and a range of 528 kilometers on a single charge.
