Grand Motors Sdn Bhd, the exclusive distributor of Kia vehicles in Brunei Darussalam brings the new Kia EV6 to the crossover SUV market. With its long-range, zero emissions power, and distinctive styling, the EV6 is Kia’s first car to be based on the company’s dedicated new platform for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This pioneering crossover – the first dedicated BEV launched under the new Kia design philosophy ‘Opposites United’ – displays a future-oriented EV design characterised by high-tech details. It is powered exclusively by electric energy, with a long-range, zero-emissions powertrain configuration. The GT-Line version, engineered to inspire consumers with exciting driving performance, can accelerate from 0-to-100 km/h in 5.20 seconds with a top speed of 188 km/h. The EV6 is the first dedicated BEV produced by Kia using the all-new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), and forms the first part of Kia’s transition to the new era of electrification under the new brand slogan, ‘Movement that inspires’. The EV6 was designed under the brand’s new design philosophy ‘Opposites United’, which takes inspiration from the contrasts found in nature and humanity. At the centre of the design philosophy is a new visual identity evoking positive forces and natural energy, with contrasting combinations of sharp stylistic elements and sculptural shapes. Designed to deliver something different in the crossover class, the GT-Line version of the EV6 offers a distinctive, and impactful exterior with high-tech features. At the front, Kia’s ‘tiger face’ has been re-interpreted for the digital era. Forming part of this ‘Digital Tiger Face’, daytime running lights display a sleek, modern appearance and include a ‘sequential’ dynamic light pattern. Below this, a low air intake visually widens the front of the car, accentuating its high-tech image. ![](https://media.everythingbrunei.com/public/062yGHJ8OgHvyV2D-hacr-_2g5wF7Rc63hVQMvM_2JY.jpeg) The new Kia EV6 displays a future-oriented EV design characterised by high-tech details. PHOTO: GRAND MOTORS SDN BHD A distinct product of the EV era, the interior design benefits greatly from the application of Kia’s dedicated E-GMP platform. Despite the EV6’s compact exterior dimensions, its 2,900mm wheelbase results in a cabin space similar to many mid-size SUVs. One of the most striking elements is the seamless high-tech curved infotainment screen. The simple form language of the wide screen and dashboard give the interior an open feel. Relaxation seats are slim, lightweight and contemporary, and clad in modern, visually interesting and robust fabrics created using recycled plastics – equivalent to 111 plastic water bottles. The EV6 offered in Brunei is fully-electric, zero-emission powertrain, and includes long-range (77.4 kWh) high-voltage battery packs. The EV6 GT-Line is available in all-wheel drive (AWD) offering enhanced dynamic capability in even the most challenging conditions. The AWD 77.4 kWh EV6 GT-Line can travel over 506 kilometres on a single charge on the WLTP combined cycle. With a maximum 605 Nm torque available on the AWD version, the EV6 can accelerate from 0-to-100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. The 77.4 kWh battery pack is equipped with a 239 kW (325 ps) electric motor that powers the front and rear wheels. Kia’s new dedicated E-GMP reduces complexity through modularisation and standardisation, allowing rapid and flexible development of products with varied attributes. This flexible development can satisfy various customer needs for vehicle performance within a single model line like EV6. The car’s charging system is more flexible than previous generation BEVs thanks to an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The ICCU enables a new vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, which is capable of discharging energy from the vehicle battery. The V2L function can supply up to 3.6kW of power and is capable, as an example, of operating a 55-inch television and air conditioner simultaneously for more than 24 hours. The system is also able to charge another EV, if needed. Together with the V2L function, EV6 owners can take everything they need on an outdoor adventure with friends and family and do it all with zero emissions. The EV6 is fitted with energy-recuperation technologies to maximise driving range. This includes Kia’s latest-generation energy-efficient heat pump as a standard feature, which scavenges waste heat from the car’s coolant system. Also featured is the latest generation of Kia’s smart regenerative braking system, which is operated by paddle shifters behind the steering wheel so drivers can quickly and easily slow the car and recuperate kinetic energy to maximize driving range and efficiency. The EV6 also features an augmented reality (AR) head-up display system, which projects driving information onto the base of the windscreen in the driver’s line of sight. The system displays details of vehicle speed, and turn-by-turn navigation instructions. For more information, visit the Kia Showroom in Beribi or log on to Kia Brunei’s website at www\.kia.com.
