Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, known for his passion for automobiles, was recently spotted cruising the streets of Ranchi in a Kia EV6. Dhoni, who owns a diverse collection of vehicles, including classic cars and iconic motorcycles, showcased his commitment to the future of mobility by embracing this premium electric car.
Dhoni became the owner of the Kia EV6 in November 2022, making headlines as one of the early adopters of this electric vehicle in India. His garage already boasts an eclectic mix of automobiles, and the futuristic design of the EV6 turned heads and impressed onlookers.
The India-specific version of the Kia EV6 combines advanced technology, efficiency, and elegance. With a powerful electric powertrain, the EV6 offers swift and silent acceleration, making it suitable for both city commutes and long drives.
The Kia EV6 comes with a 77.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of up to 450 kilometers on a single charge. It is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, with varying power outputs. The EV6 features a fast-charging capability, allowing 10%-80% charging in approximately 18 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast charger. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds and boasts a claimed WLTP range of 528 km. The vehicle is built on Hyundai Group’s E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform).
Dhoni’s choice of the Kia EV6 not only reflects his penchant for unique automobiles but also sets an example for his fans by opting for eco-friendly transportation. His support for electric mobility aligns with India’s transition toward sustainable transportation and carries the endorsement of one of the nation’s most celebrated icons.
