New Delhi — In a groundbreaking move poised to redefine electric mobility, Kia India unveiled its highly anticipated next-generation EV6 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The debut marks a significant milestone in the brand’s commitment to sustainability and advanced automotive technology, with bookings for the new EV6 opening to the public today.
A Leap Forward in Design and Performance
The refreshed EV6 builds on Kia’s signature Opposites United design language, featuring a sportier and more aggressive front end that exudes modernity and dynamism. Key design enhancements include:
- Star Map Lighting: New signature connected DRLs and star-map LED rear combination lamps.
- GT-Line Styling: A refined front bumper design paired with 19-inch glossy-finished alloy wheels.
- Enhanced Cabin Experience: A spacious and premium interior highlighted by a double D-cut steering wheel with innovative hands-on detection technology.
Under the hood, the EV6 now houses a powerful 84-kWh battery that delivers an impressive range of over 650 km—an upgrade from its predecessor’s 77.4-kWh offering. With a robust output of 325 PS and 605 Nm of torque, the vehicle promises an exhilarating yet efficient driving experience. Its 350-kW fast charging capability further ensures that a rapid 18-minute charge from 10% to 80% keeps drivers on the move.
Advanced Safety: The Heart of the New EV6
Safety has always been at the forefront of Kia’s innovation strategy. The new EV6 is equipped with an enhanced ADAS 2.0 package, featuring 27 advanced safety and driver assistance functions. Notably, five new autonomous features have been added to the lineup:
- FCA 2.0 – City/Pedestrian/Cyclist/Junction Turning: Mitigates collision risks in urban settings.
- FCA 2.0 – Junction Crossing: Enhances safety while crossing intersections.
- FCA 2.0 – Lane Change Assist (Oncoming & Side): Provides additional support during lane changes.

- LFA 2.0 – Lane Follow Assist: Maintains optimal lane positioning for a safer drive.
These advanced systems, drawing on the cutting-edge technology from Kia’s flagship EV9, ensure that the new EV6 not only meets but exceeds global safety standards.
