At this price point, the Kia EV6 competes with the Volvo XC40 Recharge, Mercedes-Benz EQB, and BMW i4 in the Indian market. Notably, the EV6 promises a range of at least 100 km more than its rivals. Thus, at a very competitive price, Kia provides a larger battery capacity and a greater driving range than its rivals.
