For those unaware, Kia EV6 is the flagship all-electric crossover offered by the renowned South Korean automaker, Kia, in the Indian market. Launched in 2022, it marks Kia’s entry into the electric vehicle segment in the country. The EV6 is powered by a single 77.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, providing an astonishing driving range of 708 km on the ARAI cycle. The battery pack supports ultra-fast charging, enabling an additional 100 km of range in just 4.5 minutes when using a 350 kW DC fast charger.

Kia offers the EV6 in two different variants, with prices starting from Rs 59.95 lakh. The base variant features a two-wheel-drive configuration with a front-mounted single motor, generating 229 bhp of maximum power and 350 Nm of maximum torque. For those seeking more performance, the premium all-wheel-drive version comes with two electric motors, one on each front and rear axle, providing a combined power and torque output of 325 bhp and 605 Nm, respectively. This enables the EV6 to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.5 seconds, making it an exhilarating electric crossover to drive.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s passion for automobiles extends beyond his recent addition of the Kia EV6. The cricketer’s garage houses an array of impressive vehicles, including vintage classics and modern cars. Among the notable vintage cars is the recently acquired 1969 Ford Mustang, a muscle car that remains super rare in India. The garage also boasts a Pontiac Trans-Am, another classic muscle car, and a Pontiac Firebird TransAm, featuring a powerful 455 big-block V8 engine that drives the rear wheels.

Dhoni’s love for motorcycles is equally evident, with a diverse range of two-wheelers, including a fully-faired Yamaha sports bike, likely an older-generation Yamaha YZF-R6. He also owns limited-edition two-stroke motorcycles from renowned brands like Yamaha, Yezdi, Jawa, BSA, and Norton. Vintage bikes like the Yamaha RD350 and Royal Enfield Bullet are also cherished pieces in his collection. Additionally, he has modern sports offerings like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R and Kawasaki Ninja H2, along with the Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Ducati 1098, and the ultra-exclusive Confederate X132 Hellcat.

Beyond motorcycles, Dhoni takes pride in his collection of modern cars, which includes a Land Rover Freelander, Audi Q7, Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, and Mercedes-Benz GLE. His garage is also home to some iconic cars like the Land Rover Defender, the specially customized Mahindra Scorpio gifted by Anand Mahindra, and the unique Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk.
