Madrid, May 18, 2021 - Rafael Nadal, Kia's World Ambassador, is one of the best tennis players of all time as he has just made clear again with his tenth title in Rome, with which he already has 36 Masters 1,000, which is join the 20 Grand Slam achieved in his career.
Before traveling to Rome, Rafa Nadal had a very special appointment in Madrid, where he was able to see the new Kia EV6 “in secret”. Rafa Nadal has been one of the first people to meet this model live in Spain. It was a pre-series unit that Kia is moving throughout Europe to get the first impressions it awakens in the specialized press.
Rafa Nadal, who is always on the lookout for brand news, confessed to having a special interest in this model, which redefines the frontiers of electric mobility due to its technology, design, performance, and space. The Spanish tennis player believes in sustainable mobility and the Kia EV6 is ideal for his needs because it offers much of what he asks of a car: comfort, space, visibility, equipment, and technology ... but with a discreet spirit and without giving up the benefits.
The first thing that caught his eye was the exterior design: Rafa circled the car several times, looking closely at its avant-garde shapes. The Kia EV6 is the first specifically electric vehicle launched under Kia's new design philosophy: "Opposites United." At the core of this philosophy is a new visual identity that evokes positive forces and natural energy, with contrasting combinations of sharp stylistic elements and sculptural forms.
Rafa also asked about the dimensions of the new model, a car with a long wheelbase, proportions between volumes and a medium height, halfway between those of an SUV, a sports car and a crossover.
When he got behind the wheel, the expression of surprise and fascination on Rafa Nadal's face increased, if possible. And, although we are always attracted to the exterior of cars, what really falls in love is the interior, where we spend most of our time. The large, curved screen, the slim dashboard, the materials and the cleanliness of the design caught Rafa's attention as much as the spaciousness of the interior, the great visibility and the comfort of the seats, aspects that he values highly in a car.
Unfortunately, Rafa could not drive the new EV6, but he was interested in the performance of the new model. In the first place, he asked about its autonomy, of more than 510 kilometers on a single charge; and by how it recharges, with a charge of 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes and 100 km in less than 4.5 minutes, in a fast charger. The Spanish tennis player was surprised with that data, almost as much as the performance of the EV6 GT, which is capable of speeds r from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.5 s and reach a top speed of 260 km / h.
At the end of the meeting, Rafa asked about the arrival date of the new model in Spain, because "I loved it and I want one", in his own words.
