Kia EV6 Akan Dilancarkan Oleh Dinamikjaya Pada Awal 2022

Adakah KIA EV6 mampu dimiliki oleh kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia?

Kenderaan elektrik serba baharu Kia, EV6 akan datang ke Malaysia pada tahun 2022 dan reaksi media sosial agak menggalakkan dan kami heran. Mari kita jelaskan.

Ok, jadi Kia EV6 ini baru sahaja dicalonkan untuk ‘Car of the Year‘ 2022 hanya dua bulan di pasaran global dan itu sahaja memberi banyak makna untuk kenderaan Kia serba baharu ini.

Kemudian ada janji bahawa kereta elektrik KIA ini akan memberikan pengalaman pemilikan yang terbaik dengan menjadikan gaya hidup elektrik sebagai pilihan yang berdaya maju untuk mobiliti harian, tetapi adakah ia hanya untuk rakyat Malaysia yang kaya sahaja.

Jangan lupa harga jualan di negara asalnya, Korea Selatan di mana ia bermula dari RM163,000 (dan ini adalah model asas). Di England harga jualan bermula dari 33,537 paun sterling (iaitu kira-kira RM188,000) dan di Australia harga jualan akan bermula dari AUD65,000 (iaitu kira-kira RM197,000)

Ya, tiada duti import dan juga cukai jalan sifar untuk kereta elektrik baharu yang diimport ke Malaysia pada 2022 dan inilah sebabnya terdapat banyak model baharu yang sedang digoda untuk tiba pada 2022.

Jadi, ada kemungkinan besar harga jualan EV6 akan bermula daripada RM188,000 yang hampir dengan harga jualan Nissan Leaf dan juga versi spesifikasi tinggi Hyundai Kona EV.

Sementara itu, jika Nissan Leaf hanya mempunyai beberapa ratus pembeli sejak pelancarannya beberapa tahun yang lalu (pembelian, pajakan dan langganan), sejauh manakah akan Kia EV6 ini berjaya?

Ya, EV6 lebih besar, lebih lengkap dan lebih menarik dalam reka bentuknya, namun, hanya golongan kaya sahaja yang mampu membelinya dan bukannya rakyat Malaysia kelas menengah.

Crossover EV6 ini juga baru-baru ini mencipta sejarah GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS dengan menempuh jarak sejauh 2,880.5 batu dengan masa pengecasan paling singkat untuk merentasi Amerika Syarikat menggunakan kenderaan elektrik.

Semasa perjalanan tujuh hari dari New York City ke Los Angeles, Kia EV6 dicas selama 7 jam 10 minit dan 1 saat, mengalahkan pemegang rekod sebelumnya, Tesla, dengan lebih daripada lima setengah jam (12 jam, 48 minit, dan 19 saat).

MEDIA RELEASE: Kia’s EV6 has removed the perceived barriers that prevent many from making the switch to electric. As Kia’s first dedicated EV, it provides rapid charging times, access to an extensive charging network, impressive long range, segment-leading interior space and can even act as a portable battery pack to charge electrical appliances or other electric vehicles.

The EV6 is designed inside and out to deliver the very best experience an EV can offer, making ownership as convenient and accessible as running an ICE vehicle, and with reduced environmental impact.

New electrification experience

Kia’s EV6 is built on the company’s new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) designed exclusively for its electric vehicles. This provides immediate advantages over adapting existing platforms designed to accommodate a combustion engine. The E-GMP architecture ensures that EV6 provides a new electrification experience with powerful driving performance, ultra-fast charging, increased range and enhanced safety.

The E-GMP also means that despite compact exterior dimensions, the EV6 offers class-leading space within. A long 2.9m wheelbase and minimal front and rear overhangs provide cabin space similar to that of vehicles in larger segments. Exceptional legroom of 1,078mm at the front and 990mm at the rear ensures space and roominess for all passengers to enjoy.

Multi high speed charging system

EV6 introduces a world first multi high-speed charging system which provides EV6 drivers with access to a broader charging infrastructure. Multi high-speed charging means that the system is compatible with both 800V ultra-fast charging and more mainstream 400V fast charging without the need for any special adapter or additional on-board charger.

Stopping at an 800V charger feeds the current directly to the battery at ultra-fast speeds, charging the EV6 battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes with a maximum power of 239kW. When EV6 stops at a more mainstream 400V charger, the EV6 using the vehicle’s motor and inverter to convert the 400V current coming from the charging station into 800V so it can charge the battery at the maximum power provided by it.

Market-leading range

Kia has raised the standards of range performance with the combination of E-GMP architecture, power electronics and design that give EV6 one of the best all-electric ranges on the market.

EV6 comes with a choice of fully electric, zero-emission powertrain configurations, including a standard-range (58kWh) and long-range (77.4kWh) high voltage battery pack. Homologated WLTP values confirm that the rear wheel drive 77.4 kWh EV6 can travel up to 528 kilometers on the combined cycle (combined electric energy consumption 16.5 kWh/100km).

This is a similar driving distance from Geneva to Paris on a single charge. Less frequent charging removes one of the most significant barriers to EV ownership.

The all-wheel drive EV6 can also deliver a strong range performance; 506km on the combined WLTP cycle. All-wheel drive combined electric energy consumption is as low as 17.2 kWh/100km.

Portable power

Kia has developed an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) which controls built-in bi-directional chargers, and the Vehicle Charging Management System (VCMS). The ICCU enables up to 3.6kW of power to be transferred from the vehicle battery to other devices.

This vehicle to load (V2L) function allows occupants to charge electrical items on the go, such as a laptop, or home appliances using an outdoor V2L gender connector.

Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) charging is also possible whereby power can be transferred to another electric vehicle, for example in an emergency, with the use of an In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) cable and the V2L gender connector. EV6 own’s battery is preserved by ensuring state of charge does not fall below 20% at which point the V2V is disabled.
