Kia is set to announce the prices for the India-spec EV6 on June 2. The premium crossover, the first electric model in Kia India’s line-up, will be sold in limited numbers. It is based on the Hyundai Group’s E-GMP architecture that also underpins the Hyundai Ioniq 5 — also coming to India sometime this year.
Globally, the EV6 comes with two powertrain options — a 58kWh battery pack and a larger 77.4kWh unit — both of which are offered in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layouts.
The India-spec model is likely to come only with the 77.4kWh battery pack and Kia is expected to offer the EV6 in rear-wheel-drive, single-motor, and all-wheel-drive, dual-motor layouts. With this bigger battery pack, the rear-wheel-drive model produces 229hp and 350Nm, while the all-wheel-drive variant makes 325hp and 605Nm.
