Kia India seems to be gearing up to launch its first ever electric vehicle in India soon. The Korean carmaker, which currently sells only ICE cars like Sonet, Seltos, Carnival and Carens, has already introduced EV6 in global markets. According to reports, Kia will soon announce its launch in India too. It is likely to drive in the EV6 through the CBU route for now.

The spy images show one of the Kia EV6 GT variants on the roads of Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana. According to reports, Kia EV6 is going to be launched in India some time in the second half of this year. When launched, it will take on EVs like Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV and the upcoming Hyundai IONIQ 5, which will make its India debut later this year.
