Exterior
Although, one can easily make out - that this is an Kia EV6, however, enhancements lies in details. For starters the new Star Map Graphic Connected DRL inspired by Kias 'Opposites United' design and a new Star Map Graphic Connected DRL with Sequential Indicators and GT-Line front bumper, makes it appear more sportier and futuristic than before. New 19 Inch aerodynamic glossy-finish alloy wheels, and star-map LED rear combination lamps with Sequential Indicators, adds to the futuristic aesthetics of this EV. Lastly, Kia offers 5 paint schemes to choose from - Snow-white pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, Wolf Grey, Runway Red and Yatch Blue Matte.
Interior
The interior now looks slimmer, with every element taking up less space than before, ultimately providing more space inside. Here too, the double-D cut steering wheel with hands-on detection technology is present. Additionally, there are two 12.3-inch screens - one dedicated to the infotainment system and one for the driver's display. The major upgrades are seen in the infotainment screen, where Kia Connect 2.0 is featured, including Kia Connect Diagnostics (KCD) for remote vehicle diagnostics. Over-the-air (OTA) software updates allow 34 ECU controllers to be updated remotely. This gives you the freedom to minimize your trips to service centers. Lastly, it comes with 100+ connected features.
ADAS
Level 2 ADAS in the new Kia EV6 brings a bucket full of saftey features - 27 to precise, including the 5 new autonomous features. These constitute FCA 2.0 - Junction Turning, which detects oncoming vehicles while making turns at intersections, and FCA 2.0 - Junction Crossing, designed to prevent collisions when passing through junctions. Enhancing safety further, FCA 2.0 - Lane Change Assist and FCA 2.0 - Evasive Steering Assist offer additional protection during lane changes and emergency maneuvering, ensures a secure and controlled driving experience in unexpected situations. Additionally, LFA 2.0 - Lane Follow Assist helps maintain optimal lane positioning, reducing the risk of accidents.
Performance
The 77.4 kWh battery pack has been replaced by an 84 kWh battery, which produces 325 ps and 605 Nm of torque, sending power to all four wheels. Additionally, the MIDC range is 663 km, and with a 350 kW fast charger, it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes. However, in India, we don't have charging stations with this much capacity, so real-world figures would be drastically different.

Verdict
This is basically a legend reborn, and now it's more powerful and tech-loaded than ever. The Kia EV6 has played a huge role in establishing the brand here in India, as it is the first electric product and caters to premium car owners. In that spectrum, it is doing pretty well, and we believe the new model will continue its legacy.
