FIRST DRIVE
The likes of the Kia Soul and Niro EVs have been around for a few years now, so the EV6 is by no means the brand’s first electric car, but it is Kia’s first product conceived from the ground up as an EV and built on the E-GMP dedicated electric vehicle platform. Kia calls the EV6 its most technologically advanced car yet and the good news is that it is available in India now. However, it will be imported as a CBU and in limited numbers, making it an expensive and consequently, a very niche offering, but Kia’s intention here is not to chase volumes, but to flex its muscle by showcasing what the brand is capable of when it comes to future-ready EVs.
