Kia has expanded its EV6 line-up with the introduction of a brand new entry-level model, the EV6 Air standard range, priced from £39,235 on-the-road.
Equipped with a 63kWh battery, the rear-wheel-drive EV6 ‘Air’ standard range offers as much as 265 miles of range on the WLTP combined cycle with a 0-62mph time of 8.7 seconds and a top speed of 115mph.
A reduced kerb weight (1,955kg) and insurance group rating (29E) further improve affordability.
Despite the smaller battery, the brand new model retains the EV6’s high-voltage 800V charging system, enabling ultra-rapid charging from 10% to 80% in only 18 minutes via a 350kW DC charger – or 58 minutes using a 50kW charger.
The automotive also provides a 490-litre boot and a 52-litre front trunk, and might tow as much as 750kg (braked).
Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats and steering wheel, Smart Cruise Control with stop/go, dual 12.3-inch curved displays with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 7 years of free Kia Connect services.
Order books for the EV6 ‘Air’ standard range are open now, with first deliveries expected later in May. The model comes with Kia’s comprehensive 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, including 8-year/100,000-mile coverage for the EV battery and motor.
