Yes you’ve read the title right! Kia is offering big discount on it’s electric SUV which brings its pricing lower than the top-spec Toyota Fortuner!
Kia India has introduced significant discounts on its first electric vehicle, the Kia EV6, making it an attractive option during the festive season. This electric crossover, recently joined by the flagship EV9 SUV, now comes with festive benefits worth Rs. 10 – 15 lakh, depending on the variant.
Kia EV6 Pricing and Variants
The Kia EV6 is available in two trims:
- GT Line – Rs. 60.96 lakh (ex-showroom)
- GT Line AWD – Rs. 65.96 lakh (ex-showroom), with added performance features
The festive discounts make the EV6 more affordable, especially for those seeking a premium electric vehicle. With the EV6 GT-Line AWD priced at Rs. 69.35 lakh (on-road), applying a Rs. 15 lakh discount brings the price down to Rs. 50.96 lakh. This makes it Rs. 6.31 lakh cheaper than the Toyota Fortuner, which reaches up to Rs. 60.66 lakh (on-road) in states like New Delhi. Additionally, in states offering incentives for EVs, the on-road price of the EV6 could be even lower, further enhancing its value proposition.
Kia EV6 Performance and Features
The Kia EV6 is powered by a 77.4 kWh battery pack and offers impressive performance across its two variants:
- GT Line: 226 bhp, 350 Nm – 708 km Range
- GT Line AWD: 321 bhp, 605 Nm – 708 km Range
Kia EV6 is equipped with numerous features such as ventilated and heated front seats, Augmented Heads-up Display (HUD), 360 Surround View Camera, dual 12.3-inch displays – infotainment and digital cluster, front powered seats, Level 2 ADAS with 20+ functions, and so on.
Kia’s Future EV Plans
Building on the success of the EV6 and the newly launched EV9, Kia India is gearing up to launch two more electric vehicles in 2025.
- Kia Carens EV: Could Launch by Late 2025
- Kia Sonet EV: Expected by Mid 2025
In a strategic shift, Kia plans to manufacture these upcoming EVs locally to keep prices competitive, unlike the EV6 and EV9, which are imported as Completely Built Units (CBUs).
Conclusion
With the Kia EV6 discount, the electric crossover becomes a compelling alternative to high-end SUVs like the Fortuner, especially considering the potential savings. Coupled with the brand’s roadmap for launching more locally-produced EVs, the Kia EV6 positions itself as an appealing option for those seeking a premium electric vehicle with substantial value for money.
