Kia Carens Clavis EV to Launch Soon — Top 5 Things You Should Know
Kia is ready to launch its first family electric car in India — the Kia Carens Clavis EV. This new electric car will come out in just a week. Here are the top 5 things you need to know about it.
1️⃣ Design: Looks Like the Regular Carens, but Smarter
The new Carens Clavis EV looks almost the same as the regular Carens Clavis with a petrol engine. But there are some small changes. The front grille is closed because it does not need air for the engine. It has a new front bumper and special wheels. The charging port is in the middle at the front, which makes it easy to charge.
2️⃣ Interior: Big and Comfortable
The inside of the Carens Clavis EV looks modern and clean. It has a wide screen that shows driving information and entertainment features. The steering wheel has two spokes, and the cabin has two colors, making it look premium. The center console (middle part between the front seats) is bigger and has more space for storage. Kia will likely offer this EV only in a 7-seat version, which is great for families.
3️⃣ Battery and Range: Two Choices
The Carens Clavis EV will have two battery options.
- One option is a 51.4 kWh battery, which can go up to 490 km on a single charge. This version has a powerful 169 hp motor.
- The second option is a smaller 42 kWh battery, which can go up to 390 km. This one has a 133 hp motor.
Both versions will have a special feature that allows you to use the car battery to power other devices, like camping lights or a small fridge.
4️⃣ Price: Starts Around ₹19–20 Lakh
The price of the Carens Clavis EV will start from around ₹19–20 lakh (ex-showroom). This is more expensive than the regular Carens (which starts at ₹11.5 lakh), but it is a good price for a big family electric car.
5️⃣ Competition: No Direct Rivals Yet
The Carens Clavis EV is the first electric MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) made in India. Right now, there is no direct competition. The only similar car is the BYD e6, which starts at ₹26.9 lakh and is more expensive. Mahindra is planning to launch a 7-seater electric SUV soon, but for now, Kia has this space all to itself.
⭐ Conclusion
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is a new and exciting choice for Indian families who want a big electric car. It has good range, lots of space, and a fair price. It is coming very soon, and many people are waiting to see it on the roads.
