I took delivery about a month ago and have been on 2 long trips, the first one to Konkan and the second one to mumbai and back
Heartiest congratulations. Your vehicle looks stunning. Seems to have a matte finish?

What’s the on-road price you paid?

Re: Kia EV6 Preview | Driven @ Buddh

Have to say this Kia EV6 looks like a car from a sci-fi movie. Looks absolutely stunning! Happened to see one in same color in Chennai last week and it looked even bigger in real than in pictures. Wishing you a Happy Ownership!

We too saw you in Mahabaleshwar. The colour and design make it stand out and become the center of attraction.

Off-topic: We love your sandwiches and pizza

Re: Kia EV6 Preview | Driven @ Buddh

Stunning car indeed !

Just curious to know how much OTR you all ended up with for your EV6 after exemptions and discounts ( if any )

Fantastic looking design aside, what a lovely color palette to choose from!

Except the neutral white shade on offer (which probably looks great too!), all the other colors are striking.

Congratulations to all the owners.

I've been to Mahabi and Panchgani a few times over the last month. On my last weekend trip when I stayed at Prospect, I saw your EV6 on the Panchgani road. Great to know its a fellow TBHP member.

Great to see it raining EV6s on TBHP. Would be fantastic to see some ownership threads from the new owners for this unique machine - probably the first premium priced BEV from a mainstream manufacturer.

Keen to see how Hyundai price and spec their Ioniq as well in comparison.

You are right on the colour it’s matte. And as for the price it’s high 60’s

It is massive. It has the same length and width as an XUV700.

Re: Kia EV6 Preview | Driven @ Buddh

This car is really good. What a lot of people dont talk about is how efficient this car is. None of the other EVs in this size or price bracket are this efficient. And this matters!

Most of our highways are filled with 25kW chargers. The south now has many 50kW chargers too. On a 50kW charger, the EV6 can add almost 170km in 30 min. A Volvo XC40 will add only 100km. This greatly reduces charging stops. The EV6 can charge at 250kW but such chargers coming up on our highways is at least couple of years away.

So, if you are on a 600km roadtrip with family, a single 40 min stop would suffice with an EV6 at a 50kW charger. On a Volvo you would have to probably stop 3 times.

The one negative with the EV6 is the rear seat. The floor is extremely high and the comfort offered at this price point is not acceptable.

Good to know these points. I was considering a XC40 Recharge sometime in the near future. These tips / points helps a lot.

Pretty sure I saw a MH11 EV6 in Pune. If you saw someone lurking in a white Kona, it was me.

Congratulations! Wishing you many happy miles. Definitely a head turner this car!

Even I saw a silver EV 6 on baner road last night. This car beats a lot of cars in looks and has a street presence of super cars. I almost forgot that I was driving an EV myself. If they ever manufacture this one and the price comes down I would love to own one.
