First thoughts & impressions: Checked out the Kia EV6 at a dealership

It is low slung, has a mean presence and will definitely stand out on our roads.

BHPian venom_op recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Had a chance to attend the unveiling in Pune. The car is genuinely quite big. Except for the height, the dimensions are exactly the same as the XUV700 but with 150mm more wheelbase. It is low slung, has a mean presence and will definitely stand out on our roads.

Didn't get a chance to take too many photos on the inside as there were quite a few people moving in and out of the car including a kid who wanted to listen to the Meridian system on full blast. But I have to say build quality was excellent. Scratchy plastics in the lower regions, but definitely good quality materials at all touch points. Probably as good if not better than the Germans available in this budget. Soft touch plastics on the doors and that different material on the dash made from recycled material is definitely nice feeling. Space was quite good, but the car is low slung and the floor is high. So this will not be replacing your ICE luxury sedan/SUV any time soon. But definitely spacious enough to keep everyone happy except maybe anyone over 6 ft. This felt more like a sports car with a back seat. Still better space than a Polestar 2 though.

Didn't get a chance to drive it as the car isn't ARAI certified yet. Should be done soon and then test drives will be available.

Kia said that they'd received over 250 bookings by 12 pm yesterday.

Anyway enough of talking. Here's a photo dump:
