Overall expectations
It is an average-sized SUV, which has the power and looks of other expensive luxury cars. For now, its speed is unbeatable. EVs being able to beat the speed of a fuel-based car can have some turn points on consumers preferring EVs.
Additionally, Kia EV6 possibly could have a market in India too. According to some websites, the ranking of Kia EV6 could be above Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. There is much possibility for EV6 in India to be a hit, with its speed and battery capacity. However, Inda is yet to receive an official announcement from the Korean automaker.
