        The car offers excellent pickup and a stylish, premium feel that truly makes it worth the money. With only 37 km driven, it still feels brand new—smooth in movement and in great condition overall. A promising start for a great drive ahead!

        This is a great car—I liked it so much! Now, I’m really interested in switching to an electric car and came to know about the Kia EV6. I’d love to take a test drive and hope it’s available at the Kurnool showroom soon.
