Kia Launches First Made-in-India Electric Vehicle: The Carens Clavis EV – Starting at ₹17.99 Lakh

In a significant step towards electrified mobility, Kia has launched its first Made-in-India electric vehicle – the Carens Clavis EV, a 7-seater electric MPV designed for Indian families with advanced tech, flexible range options, and aggressive pricing. With a starting price of ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this all-electric version of the popular Carens platform is set to make a bold impact in the growing electric vehicle (EV) space in India.

🔋 Battery Options and Pricing

The Carens Clavis EV comes with two battery pack options to suit different driving needs:

Battery Pack Variant Price (Ex-Showroom)
42 kWh Carens Clavis EV HTK Plus (7-Seater) ₹17,99,000
42 kWh Carens Clavis EV HTX (7-Seater) ₹20,49,000
51.4 kWh Carens Clavis EV ER HTX (7-Seater) ₹22,49,000
51.4 kWh Carens Clavis EV ER HTX Plus (7-Seater) ₹24,49,000

⚡ Key Performance Highlights

  • Range:
    • Up to 490 km (ARAI) with the 51.4 kWh battery.
    • 404 km (ARAI) with the 42 kWh battery.
  • Charging Time:
    • 10% to 80% charge in just 39 minutes using a 100kW DC fast charger.
  • Durability & Safety:
    • IP67-certified battery ensures resistance to dust and water.
  • Efficiency & Drive Experience:
    • Features i-Pedal mode for one-pedal driving.
    • Comes with multi-level regenerative braking to extend range and enhance control.

🌐 Connected Tech & Features

The Carens Clavis EV is equipped with over 90 connected car features powered by Kia Connect. These include:

  • Remote climate control
  • Over-the-air (OTA) updates
  • Vehicle diagnostics
  • Live location tracking
  • Driving behavior insights

🧠 Smart Cabin & Design

The Clavis EV boasts a premium interior, multiple drive modes, and a spacious layout suitable for family road trips. Expect features like:

  • Large infotainment screen
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Wireless charging
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Ventilated seats (HTX+ variant)
  • Panoramic sunroof (top variants)

🚗 Market Positioning

Kia’s Carens Clavis EV strategically targets both urban and semi-urban Indian families looking for a practical, reliable EV with long range and modern features. Its 7-seater layout and familiar MPV practicality make it a rare find in India’s EV market, which is currently dominated by 5-seater SUVs and hatchbacks.

📍 Made for India, Ready for the World

Built in Kia’s Anantapur plant, the Clavis EV reflects Kia’s commitment to India’s electrification journey. It will compete with models like the Tata Nexon EV Max, Mahindra XUV400, and MG ZS EV – but stands out with a unique MPV stance and 7-seat configuration.

Verdict: The Carens Clavis EV is a smart, tech-rich, and family-friendly electric vehicle that combines Kia’s global EV expertise with local manufacturing and affordability. With bold pricing, long-range options, and practical utility, it is poised to accelerate EV adoption in the Indian market.
