One of the very first in a new generation of electric cars is heading for Newtown later this month.

Staff at JT Hughes Kia Newtown on Pool Road say the EV6 Electric Experience offers customers an exciting early opportunity to view one of the very first Kia EV6 electric cars on September 28.

The first of several electric Kia due for launch over the coming years, the Kia EV6 is based on the E-GMP platform that was developed explicitly for electric vehicles and supports dual 400/800-volt charging for astonishing charging times as low as 18 minutes from 10-80 per cent battery.

Along with its next-generation charging capabilities, EV6 is able to travel up to 328 miles* per charge of its 77.4kWh battery pack. This allows the EV6 to travel from Newtown Mid-Wales to London on just one charge.

Available in four grades; ‘Air’, ‘GT-Line’, ‘GT-Line S’, and ‘GT’, starting from £40,895 the electric car comes with a host of impressive technology as standard, as well as rear- and all-wheel drive options that see EV6 able to tow up to an impressive 1,600kg.

This includes: curved panoramic display with twin 12.3-inch touchscreens; Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; UVO Connect; LED lighting all around; vegan leather upholstery; rear parking sensors; rain-sensing front wipers; engine Start/Stop button with Smart Entry System; navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go; Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) with city, pedestrian, cyclist and junction-turning functionality; Highway Driving Assist; and Drive Mode Select to name but a few.

A nationwide tour, the EV6 Electric Experience will see the new flagship Kia electric car travel the country ahead of first UK customer deliveries starting in October.
