Kia EV6 GT: South Korean carmaker Kia is preparing to launch a new vehicle – EV6 GT – in India next week. It will be the “fastest car” among passenger vehicles manufactured in the country so far, the company said.
In a move to beef up its EV lineup, the South Korean company will launch the pure electric high-performance model in the domestic market, as per the IANS report.
“The EV6 GT is the continuation of Kia`s transformation and is the next phase of our Plan S strategy which will see Kia offer 14 fully-electric models globally by 2027,” Russell Wager, vice president, marketing, Kia America, said last month.
“The EV6 GT is an entirely new level of performance for Kia and as part of its U.S. premiere we wanted to support the communities in which we live and work by helping the causes and organizations that align with Kia`s core values,” he added.
The EV6 GT is equipped with Hyundai Motor Group`s dedicated EV platform called E-GMP. It is being sold at 72 million won ($53 million) after tax breaks, as per the IANS report.
Other models with the E-GMP platform include the Hyundai IONIQ 5, the Kia EV6 sedan and the Genesis GV60 SUV. Hyundai Motor sells vehicles under Hyundai as well as the independent Genesis brand, IANS said.
