The Kia EV6 has been tested under the ARAI test cycle, thus now offering a travel range of 708km, while its WLTP-certified driving range stands at 528km. It is to be noted that the ARAI-tested 708km range figure is only applicable for the EV6 GT Line RWD variant.

Kia EV6 bookings and delivery schedule

The South Korean automaker had planned only 100 CBU units of the EV6 for the Indian market. However, it received 356 reservations until its launch day itself. Thus, the brand has increased the total allocation of the EV6 units. Notably, it has managed to deliver over 200 units of the EV so far. Kia intends to complete most of the pending deliveries by the end of 2022.
