In India, only a single 77.4-kWh battery pack is available for the EV6. The RWD variant has a single motor and produces 226 bhp and 35.6 kgm.

Kia will provide a full-service package that will make owning an EV6 a breeze. A 3-year warranty will cover the EV6 with unlimited kilometres and an extra 8-year or 1.6-lakh-kilometer battery warranty. For the next 3 years, the firm will also provide 24 by 7 nationwide roadside assistance.
The Kia EV6 will be available at 15 dealerships across 12 cities, all of which will have charging infrastructure. For the convenience of customers, Kia will install 150-kW chargers at all of these EV dealerships. All clients who purchase an EV6 will receive a smart charger with a peak power output of 22 kW as standard, as well as assistance with installation at a location of their choice. Well, Kia has already received 355 bookings, with the deliveries of the AWD variants to begin in September. If you had to choose between the BMW i4 and the Kia EV6 — which one would you pick?
