KIA brand ambassador, and Tennis legend, Rafael Nadal now drives a KIA EV6 crossover which was handed over in a lavish ceremony at the Rafa Nadal Academy in his Spanish hometown of Manacor, Mallorca.

 

Nadal stepped in to his customized EV6 GT-Line to inspire a new generation of drivers to embrace electric mobility.

 

Nadal will use his EV6 crossover as his personal car at home in Mallorca, as well as at major tennis tournaments such as the 2022 Australian Open. Furthermore, he has expressed his interest to convert all vehicles used at the Rafa Nadal Academy and Rafa Nadal Foundation to electric vehicles by 2022.

“My job naturally requires a lot of travel, and my lifestyle is not fully sustainable. But I’m determined to make the necessary changes where I can, starting with my personal use of the EV6 crossover in Mallorca and beyond,” said Nadal at the event. “I feel lucky to have the support of Kia and the new EV6 that will help drive my commitment. I would like to encourage others to join me in driving these kind of vehicles wherever possible.”

 

The ceremony took place in a tennis court, dubbed the “EV6 Court,” whose lighting system was electrically powered by a customized EV6 GT-Line. The first dedicated electrified crossover vehicle by Kia comes standard with V2L (vehicle-to-load) function and serves as a portable, self-generating power supply. 

 

“We at Kia strongly believe in our ethos that movement inspires ideas. The EV6 is the model that embodies this new brand ethos of ours, and we feel privileged to have Rafa on our team as our global brand ambassador for the past 15 years,” said Artur Martins, Senior Vice President and Head of Kia’s Global Brand and Customer Experience Division. “He is not only one of the greatest athletes in history but an icon of inspiration who constantly strives to make a positive impact in the world through his diverse social contribution activities.” 

 

The EV6 crossover’s vehicle-to-load (V2L) can supply up to 3.6KW of electricity and be used conveniently as a portable power supply for leisure and other everyday activities.
