Kia is charging into India’s EV game with its first mass-market electric vehicle—the Carens Clavis EV. Set to break cover on July 15, this all-electric SUV is built to rival the likes of Hyundai’s Creta EV and Tata’s upcoming electric offerings. Here's a crisp preview of what it brings to the table.
Here’s everything you can expect from this exciting new entry.
A Familiar Face with an Electric Touch
While the EV version stays true to the overall silhouette of the petrol-powered Clavis, Kia has given it a few design changes to distinguish it as an electric model. Expect to see:
These changes give the EV version a cleaner, more futuristic look, while keeping it instantly recognizable.
Dual Battery Options, Strong Range Game
Underneath, the Carens Clavis EV is expected to use the same electric powertrain as the Hyundai Creta EV , but Kia is taking it a step further in terms of range. The EV is likely to offer two battery configurations:
The larger 51.4 kWh battery is expected to deliver a certified range of up to 490 km, making it one of the longest-range EVs in its segment-easily surpassing the Creta EV’s 373 km range.
Cabin: Premium, Digital, and Feature-Rich
Step inside, and you’ll find a cabin layout that mirrors the ICE Clavis, but with some EV-specific refinements. The familiar two-tone interior theme continues, complemented by high-tech equipment and comfort features.
Highlight features expected:
Twin 12.3-inch digital screens (infotainment + instrument cluster)
This makes the Clavis EV not just a green choice, but also a smart and comfortable one for families and tech-savvy buyers.
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is shaping up to be a well-rounded electric SUV —blending style, space, tech, and range into a single package. With a launch date set for July 15, it could quickly become a top contender in India’s mid-size electric SUV market.
