 Kia officially launches the EV6 and we finally get a price tag for it. It will sell for 3.788 million pesos.  Kia Philippines Officially launches the Kia EV6 At that price Kia didn't scrimp on any feature as the locally available EV6 GT line gets practically the same spec sheet as the rest of the world. It has almost every driver aid that you could expect from a modern car. It has adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and a 360 camera system which you can view through a 12in screen. The looks and the tech are a nice bonus but the reason that you buy this car is its fully electric drivetrain. Its 77.4kWh battery can power the car for over 500kms, the longest range of any locally available EV. And its 229hp and 350Nm of torque can propel the exotic looking EV from 0-100kph in just 7.2 seconds.

It looks like a mini Lamborghini Urus. The interior is very minimalist in a tesla-eque kind of way. You have a huge ipad like screen at the center with very few physical buttons. It also comes with ADAS. It's priced
