According to Motorbeam, the GT Line RWD variant will cost Rs. 65 lakh, while the GT Line AWD trim will bear a price-tag of Rs. 70 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

Context

Why does this story matter?

Kia Motors is all set to launch its first all-electric EV6 crossover in India on June 2. The EV has been received well in the global market. It has been a highly anticipated model on our shores for its futuristic looks and a tech-biased cabin. With import restrictions and a high price-tag, we expect it to be undercut by the upcoming Hyundai IONIQ 5.

The Kia EV6 gets a new-age 'Digital Tiger Face,' a sculpted hood, a sloping roofline, a slim grille, and swept-back LED headlights with boomerang-shaped DRLs. The EV is flanked by blacked-out pillars, flush-fitted door handles, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 19-inch designer wheels. A connected LED taillight, a shark-fin antenna, a silvered skid plate, and a roof-mounted spoiler grace the rear end.
