Kia India are once again opening bookings for the EV6 on April 15. Thanks to an overwhelming response from customers, Kia managed to sell 432 units of the EV6, when they had initially only allocated 100 cars for the Indian market.
Until now, the Kia EV6 was available via 15 dealerships in 12 cities. However, for the 2023 model, Kia plan to offer the EV6 via 60 dealerships in 44 cities.
Commenting on the announcement, Tae-Jin Park, MD & CEO, Kia India, said, “We are thrilled with the response to our first premium EV offering, the EV6, which has established itself as a design and technology marvel and has won multiple awards since its launch. For this year, we are focussing on importing more products to cater to the audiences who couldn’t get their hands on the premium car last year by expanding our dealer network. We are confident that the EV6 will continue to lead the premium EV segment with its splendid performance in the market.”
