To Rival Kia EV6 and Volvo XC40 Recharge
With the introduction of the IONIQ 5 in our market, the competition is set to rise. In the price segment of around Rs 60 lakh, there are products like Kia EV6 and Volvo XC40 Recharge. Kia is already selling the EV6 like hot cakes as the first batch has delivered all 200 units to the customers. Kia is now in the process of ordering the next batch to cater to the growing needs. Hence, it could be established that sufficient need is there in the market to at least commence electric operations in this segment.
