It's a rocket with a stylish design. You get over 550 km on a full charge, and the Kia Connect technology with the new EV6 is outstanding. The back row feels like a mini football ground; two 6 ft tall guys can sit comfortably in both front and rear seats without leg space issues. It accelerates from 0 to 100 in just 5 seconds.

Proud owner of the EV6 GT Line. A few points for those considering this electric vehicle: Pros: 1. Sublime performance, one of the quickest in this price range. 2. 250-550 km range in favorable conditions. 3. Easy maintenance with home charging and regular servicing. 4. Upmarket features and tech like any new luxury car in the 80 lakhs-1 crore range. 5. Great looks, always turns heads. 6. It's a CBU unit, so you get the same specs worldwide. Cons: 1. Stiffer suspension, which can be uncomfortable on bumpy roads. 2. AC takes time to cool the cabin. Overall, the Kia EV6 is an amazing machine, fun to drive, and impeccable for performance seekers in the 60-70 lakhs range.

Good and comfortable travelling experience. Some issues arise because it is also a car. Amazing performance, mileage is good, no problems. It's a family vehicle, and my parents and relatives really like it during visits. It brings me happiness.

The best electric car you can get at this price point, with amazing features. The EV6, especially the AWD and dual-motor versions, has fantastic torque and acceleration. It can go from 0-100 km/h in about 5.16 seconds for the facelifted version. The range is good, and the new EV6 comes with an 84 kWh battery, boosting the range significantly.

Great range, incredible design, and superb power. Overall, it's an impressive car. A few issues I faced in India are the difficulty in finding high-voltage chargers, which makes charging frustrating. The low ground clearance can be a problem on our so-called smooth roads. Plan accordingly for long trips. Don't rely on this as your main vehicle, at least for now. Most of these issues are due to infrastructure, not the car.

The car is super smooth and quiet; sometimes I forget the engine is running. Pickup is quick, and driving in the city is easy. Charging is usually fine, but sometimes it takes longer than expected, which can be a bit annoying. The interior looks modern and comfy. Mileage is decent if you drive wisely. What I like most is no petrol costs, which saves a lot in the long run. However, charging stations aren't everywhere, so you need to plan.

Best car in the segment. I got this car 2 years back and it has been a great experience. No range complaints, nothing compares to this car, beautiful looks, unique sporty design, wonderful car. I checked many cars in this segment and this one offers everything from basic to luxury.

Great choice for an EV. Tech is better than other competitors. Range is 540km at 120kmph, 400km at 140kmph, and 310km at 160kmph in sport mode. Always a comfortable ride, and road clearance is never an issue. ADAS can be a headache on our roads. Got it for 44L on-road in Dec 2025, feels like a good deal.

The Kia EV6 feels spacious and purpose-built as an EV.

I just got an EV6 GT-line. You might prefer a German vehicle for the cost, but you compromise on range.

Hello guys, I’m a 30 year old working professional and am looking to buy an EV mainly for city commute and occasional highway driving (20%). I appreciate build and ride quality, refinement and reliability. The EVs that I’m mainly looking at are the Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BYD Sealion 7 and BMW iX1. Which do you think will be the right fit for my use case? I’m actually leaning towards the Korean cars and am not willing to spend for the iX1 just for its badge value. Thank you for the answer in advance. You guys are a great source of reliable and measured Automative content in this country. Really appreciate it!

The Kia EV6 is the most driver-focused option from the list with a sportier character and sharper handling, but it comes at a premium which might not make it justify the stretch. However, Kia dealers are offering significant discounts which could bring its price at par with the others, and only then is it a compelling buy.After its recent update, the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 no longer feels value for money, but it remains a comfortable, feature-loaded and practical option, now with more range and better DC fast charging capability. Hyundai’s service network and ownership experience are also strong, which matters for long-term peace of mind.The BYD Sealion 7 feels like a flagship offering, with a luxurious interior and a laundry list of features. Surprisingly, the two-wheel drive version is the most value-for-money option here, which makes it very compelling. However, it doesn't drive as well as the BMW, nor is its after-sales support as widespread as the others. The BMW iX1 is a fundamentally sorted car, and is relatively more compact for city usage. Its ride-handling balance are excellent and it also comes with the snob value of the BMW badge. As a 30-year old, the iX1 will speak of your success and achievements like no other. But it lacks several features, hence it might not seem value for money.In summary, get the Kia EV6 for the best drive experience provided you get a substantial discount that brings its price close to others. But if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, opt for the rear-wheel drive BYD Sealion 7.

I am interested in buying a Kia EV6 AWD GT Line (2023), with 7,000+ km, in good condition, Moonscape colour, for ₹27 lakh. Is it worth it?

Pick the Kia EV6 GT Line AWD (2023) at ₹27 lakh only if it passes battery, flood, and accident checks. At 7,000km, it’s an extraordinary value with 8‑year battery coverage.At 7,000 km, it’s barely run in, and Kia’s battery warranty is up to 8 years/160,000 km from the original sale date, so you should still have substantial coverage left. The price looks unusually low; most 2023 AWD listings in major cities still quote above ₹45-50 lakh, please verify in your city, so ₹27 lakh demands extra diligence to rule out flood damage, structural repairs, or odometer tampering. If service records, battery state‑of‑health, and insurance history are clean, you’re effectively getting AWD performance and a premium EV cabin for a fraction of typical used pricing.The one thing you give up is rough‑road ease: the EV6 sits around 155 mm, and the 19‑inch wheels can feel firm and may scrape on tall speed breakers if fully loaded.If you can’t independently confirm battery state‑of‑health ≥ 95% or a clean accident history, consider the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (RWD) instead. You will lose AWD traction but gain simpler warranty support and typically lower risk.Before paying, get a Kia service-centre battery report showing state‑of‑health and DC fast‑charge count, do a 10-80% fast‑charge at a 50 kW charger (expect roughly 60-70 minutes), and ensure the 8‑year/160,000 km battery warranty transfers in writing.

I am in a rather peculiar situation and genuinely need advice on how to move forward while keeping the right perspective. To give some background, I owned a used BMW 523i for four years and absolutely loved the experience. I eventually sold it because I moved back to Mumbai and only had access to open parking. By then, the car had also completed nearly 10 years in total. Over the last five and a half years, I have changed cars multiple times: Tata Nexon EV Prime (bought for ₹19 lakh, sold for ₹13 lakh) Upgraded to Nexon EV Max within 1.5 years (₹19.5 lakh, sold for ₹13.5 lakh) Upgraded again to MG ZS EV after 1.3 years (₹22 lakh, sold for ₹16 lakh) Finally bought a Skoda Kushaq top-end in September 2025 for ₹20.2 lakh through a good deal I do like the Kushaq, but now it feels slightly small after a new addition to the family (my baby), and my family also finds the rear seat less comfortable. At the same time, I still feel internally unsatisfied. It is not the badge value I miss, but rather the unmatched sense of satisfaction, thoughtful design, premium feel, and driving experience that I experienced with the BMW 523i and generally associate with luxury cars. I miss that feeling quite a lot. Luxury cars are beyond my ideal budget, but I could stretch financially with some sacrifices. I am seriously considering options like the BMW iX1 LWB, Mercedes-Benz CLA EV, or the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the 84kWh battery. I feel I could manage the loan over seven years, and if I make this purchase, I would ideally want to keep the car for at least 10–15 years. At the same time, I worry about EV resale values in the long term, although luxury EVs seem to hold value slightly better than mainstream EVs. Given my situation, do you think moving into a premium EV makes practical and emotional sense, or should I hold on to the Kushaq for longer? I would really appreciate an honest perspective.

If you're looking to spend around Rs 53-57 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for an EV, you have a lot of options - BYD Seal, BYD Sealion 7, Hyundai Ioniq 5, BMW iX1, Kia EV6, Mini Countryman, Mercedes CLA, Volvo C40 Recharge and Tesla Model Y.The BYD Sealion 7 is among the more affordable options here - it feels like a flagship product, with a richly appointed interior, and a solid, satisfying drive experience. The BMW iX1 gets its fundamentals right and will come closest to the BMW 523i's experience, as far as interior quality, sound insulation, and refinement go, although performance isn't its strong suit. For strong performance, a laundry list of features, and a larger and more spacious interior, consider the Kia EV6. Sure, on paper it is much more expensive; however, Kia dealers are offering mouth-watering discounts. Also, the AWD version's price is lower than the recently launched RWD Hyundai Ioniq 5.As far as resale value goes, EVs across the board don't hold strong residual values compared to their ICE counterparts, irrespective of the badge they wear or the segment they belong.
