The Kia EV6 is the flagship EV from the Korean carmaker in India based on the E-GMP platform. This 5-seater EV is available in both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations and offers an ARAI-claimed range of up to 708 km with its 77.4 kWh battery pack. Recently, we had the opportunity to explore the EV6 and discover how the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) can be used to maximize the range of the vehicle.

The video demonstrates how the Kia EV6 uses radar technology to assess the distance from the vehicle in front of it. It features a special auto mode that automatically adjusts the braking regeneration level based on this distance. If the vehicle in front is close, the braking regeneration will be high; if the vehicle in front is far, the regeneration level will decrease. This not only maximizes the driving range but also enhances the comfort and smoothness of your drive.
