Kia EV6: Powertrain and Range

Kia offers the EV6 in two variants, both using a 77.4 kWh battery pack. First is a single-motor rear-wheel drive GT Line variant that delivers a maximum power output of 229bhp with 350 Nm of peak torque. While the other is a dual-motor all-wheel drive GT Line AWD model good for 325bhp and 605 Nm peak torque.

Kia EV6 Success in India

As already stated, the EV6 has done better than expected in India since its launch. Even though it is quite a premium offering, the crossover has attracted the attention of the Indian consumer with its remarkable range, futuristic design and features.

This bodes well for Kia, the EV6 is the only electric model in the country from the brand. If certain media reports are to be believed then the manufacturer is said to be developing an India-specific EV that will be much more reasonably priced in the coming few years.
