Kia EV6 – Kia’s Premium EV Now in Nepal!

Kia EV6 is now officially available in Nepal.

Continental Associates, the authorized distributor of Kia vehicles in Nepal, has finally launched its most premium EV.

Kia EV6 had been in limbo for quite some time.

Due to unstable EV tax policies, Kia Nepal delayed the launch of EV6 in the past. Finally, it got to see the light of day.

Kia EV6 is a brand-new electric crossover, maxing out in style, specs, and features. It has garnered many prestigious “Car of the Year” awards from different media outlets.

What is the Price of the Kia EV6 in Nepal?

Kia EV6 price in Nepal is set at Rs. 1.25 Crore in 2024. It will be available in a single variant option across five different colors.

Interestingly enough, Kia Nepal is only offering a 7-Year Warranty for the Kia EV6 instead of the industry standard 8-Years.

EV6 is officially available across all Kia Showrooms for bookings and purchases.

However, Kia Nepal is still finalizing the warranty details and will share the confirmed information at a later date.

With that said, let’s take a quick look at the Kia EV6 in Nepal and its key specifications for 2024.
