Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia EV6 GT AWD is a standout in the electric vehicle segment, offering a blend of performance, practicality, and advanced technology. From my experience, this car is genuinely fun to drive, with its sporty setup and excellent body control that belies its weight. The EV6 feels direct and eager, especially in Sport mode, which enhances throttle response and steering feedback. However, the steering itself remains lifeless, a minor drawback in an otherwise engaging driving experience. The cars ability to switch off electronic aids completely reveals its rear-drive nature, making it a handful but exhilarating for those who enjoy pushing the limits. With its impressive range, rapid charging capabilities, and a plethora of tech features, including a superb 360-camera system and augmented reality HUD, the EV6 is a compelling choice for those looking for a premium electric vehicle.

Price

In India, the Kia EV6 GT AWD is positioned as a premium offering, and its pricing reflects this. The ex-showroom price for the EV6 GT AWD is around 60 lakhs, though this can vary slightly depending on the state and any local taxes. On-road prices, including all the necessary registrations and other costs, can push the total to approximately 65-70 lakhs. While this is certainly on the higher side, the EV6 justifies its cost with its robust build quality, extensive tech features, and the overall driving experience it offers. For those willing to invest in a high-end electric vehicle, the EV6 provides a strong value proposition, especially when compared to other premium EVs in the market.

Saturday, 20 April 2024 05:34 AM Despite its impressive performance, the Kia EV6 GT AWD has a relatively short range of 218 miles, which might be a concern for some potential buyers.
