Kia India recently commenced booking for the highly-anticipated EV6 in India. Kia India’s first all-electric offering will only come in a sole GT-Line trim. However, this means it will come with all the features one can ask for. The EV6 is important for Kia as it marks its entry into the Indian EV space. Kia says it is confident that customers will appreciate one of Kia’s finest offerings.
Kia EV6 – Booking, Cancellation & Other Details
Customers interested in the car can book the electric vehicle by paying an amount of INR 3 lakh. Kia will only bring 100 units of the EV6 to India in 2022. The bookings will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. The model will be available in 15 select dealerships across 12 cities in the country. The Kia EV6 will also be available for online bookings via the Kia India website.
The car will come to India as a Completely Built (CBU) unit. According to sources, the car will launch in the first week of June. The latest reports suggest that the deliveries for the AWD variants start in September 2022. At the same time, deliveries for the two-wheel-drive model will begin in December 2022.
However, if a customer wants to cancel the booking, Kia will charge a cancellation fee of INR 50,000. Additionally, Kia will also charge processing fee/convenience charges as per actuals. However, these will be in case of a cancellation only. Post the booking, a customer is also not allowed to make a modification in the name or vehicle colour or trim. We believe this is because the cars will retail directly from the factory since they do not require homologation in India.
