The EV6 facelift gets several design tweaks on the inside and out, as well as a larger battery.

Kia has filed a design patent for the updated EV6 electric crossover in India, which suggests that the carmaker is planning to launch the facelift version in the near future.

The Kia EV6 facelift made its global debut in May this year. The electric crossover gets several design tweaks on the inside and out, as well as a larger battery.

The updated EV6 gets triangular LED headlamps, a reworked front bumper, subtle changes to the rear end and new 20-inch alloy wheels. On the interior, the EV6 facelift comes with a new 3-spoke steering wheel, dual screens and a digital IRVM.

Powering the EV6 is an 84 kWh battery pack, as opposed to the 77.4 kWh offered currently in India. The single-motor RWD version packs 222 BHP and 350 Nm, while the dual-motor AWD version has 316 BHP and 605 Nm.

The EV6 facelift, with the larger battery, can cover up to 494 km on a single charge, depending on the variant.
