Dinamikjaya Motors Sdn Bhd, the new sole distributor for the Kia brand in Malaysia, is proud to announce that the Kia EV6 is now officially available for booking with a starting price of RM 300,668.00.

The EV6 is an important model for Kia, as it is the new embodiment of the Korean marque, which aims to inspire every journey through bold design, progressive engineering, innovative technologies, and exciting electric performance.

The versatile and spacious interior design represents an innovative use of space, creating a unique space and driving experience benefited from the application of Kia’s dedicated E-GMP platform.

In addition, the compact exterior dimensions of 2,900mm wheelbase resulted in a cabin space similar to many mid-size SUVs.

It is powered by a high-voltage battery pack of 77.4 kWh, offering an enhanced dynamic capability in even the most challenging conditions. The AWD EV6 can travel up to an estimated 506km on a single charge, with a maximum 605 Nm torque and top speed of 185kph, and can accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds.

In addition, the flexibility of its Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) charging system enables the vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, which is capable of discharging energy from the vehicle battery.

The V2L function can supply up to 3.6 kWh of power and is capable of operating lifestyle electronic accessories.

In terms of the interior, the Kia EV6 is equipped with an impressive and seamless state-of-the-art technology that enhances safety, connectivity and infotainment, designed to make travelling safer, easier and less frustrating.

As for the advanced safety features, the EV6 comes equipped with high beam assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist and rear cross-traffic collision assist, which detects oncoming vehicles approaching from either side when reversing out of a tight parking spot. In addition, parking and manoeuvring the EV6 is made easier with the surround view monitor, which displays 360° view camera around the car.

Alternatively, the drivers can call upon the EV6’s remote smart parking assist system to take the hassle out of tight parking entirely.

The all-new Kia EV6 is currently CBU from South Korea. The colour line-up includes snow white pearl, aurora black pearl, runway red, yacht blue and the exclusive moonscape; making a total of 5 colors available.
