Kia EV6 Debuts in India: Luxury Electric SUV Offering 708 km Range and Cutting-Edge Design

India’s premium EV market just got a serious upgrade. Kia has officially launched the 2025 EV6 electric crossover, bringing a perfect blend of luxury, technology, and electrifying performance. With a sleek, futuristic design and an ARAI-certified range of 663 km on a single charge, the EV6 is set to challenge luxury rivals from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi.

Price? ₹65.9 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Promise? An electric drive that’s as thrilling as it is future-ready.

Design That Turns Heads

The Kia EV6 makes an instant statement with its aerodynamic coupe-like silhouette, merging SUV practicality with sports car elegance. At 4,695 mm long and with a 2,900 mm wheelbase, it offers plenty of interior room while maintaining a sleek, athletic stance.

Key highlights:

  • Distinctive LED lighting signatures
  • Flush door handles
  • Muscular wheel arches for road presence

Inside, the cabin carries forward the premium theme with sustainable materials, curved twin displays, and a minimalist control layout that feels straight out of the future.

Electrifying Performance

The India-spec EV6 comes with a single battery option — an 84 kWh pack — paired with either RWD or AWD configurations.

  • RWD: 229 bhp
  • AWD Dual-Motor: 325 bhp, 0–100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds

The long-range battery delivers up to 663 km (ARAI) on a single charge, making it one of India’s most capable electric SUVs in terms of range.

Charging That Changes the Game

With 800V ultra-fast charging, the EV6 can go from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes when connected to a 350 kW DC fast charger.

For home and office setups:

  • 11 kW AC charger replenishes the battery overnight
  • Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) turns your EV into a mobile power source, capable of running appliances or charging other EVs

Premium Meets Technology

Step inside, and the EV6 surrounds you with features that feel beyond its class:

  • Vegan leather upholstery
  • Heated & ventilated seats
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Dual 12.3-inch curved displays for infotainment and instrumentation
  • Meridian premium audio system
  • Augmented Reality Head-Up Display
  • Over-the-air software updates

Safety is top-tier with Level 2 ADAS, offering Highway Driving Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and 360° cameras.

Positioned Against Luxury Giants

At ₹65.9 lakh, the EV6 directly competes with premium EVs like the BMW i4, Mercedes EQB, and Audi Q4 e-tron — but stands out with its superior range, dedicated EV platform, and cutting-edge tech.

The Verdict

The 2025 Kia EV6 isn’t just a new electric SUV — it’s a statement of intent from Kia. With supercar-like acceleration, luxury features, and one of the longest ranges in its segment, it’s a compelling choice for anyone looking to go electric without compromise.

Kia backs it with an 8-year / 160,000 km battery warranty, making ownership as reassuring as it is exciting. For those ready to embrace the future of driving, the EV6 delivers it today.
