India’s electric vehicle market welcomes its first mass-market seven-seater MPV on July 15 with the 2025 Kia Carens Clavis EV.
Offering three rows of seats and zero-emission driving, it appeals to families and fleet operators alike. Two battery pack options—42 kWh for a claimed 400 km and 51.4 kWh for up to 490 km (MIDC)—combine with fast charging support for daily runs and weekend road trips.
Safety is elevated with a Level-2 ADAS suite that includes adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking across all rows. Tech highlights feature twin 12.3-inch screens, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic sunroof.
Priced under Rs. 20 Lakhs ex-showroom, the Carens Clavis EV positions itself as a value-packed Kia EV, blending range, comfort, and cutting-edge features.
The 2025 Kia Carens Clavis EV goes on sale July 15, marking Kia’s first mass-market electric MPV in India.
This 7-seater electric MPV offers two battery pack options—42 kWh or 51.4 kWh—for a claimed range of 400–490 km.
Prices are expected to start around Rs. 18 Lakhs, making it one of the most accessible models in the Indian electric car market.
The Carens Clavis EV retains the boxy MPV silhouette but swaps the ICE grille for a gloss-black sealed panel that houses the charging inlet.
Aero-optimized 17-inch alloy wheels and revised bumpers improve efficiency and give it a distinct electric look.
| Variant | Battery Pack | MIDC Claimed Range |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 42 kWh | Approx. 400 km |
| Long-Range | 51.4 kWh | Approx. 490 km |
A single front-mounted motor delivers 135–170 PS, making city commutes smooth and highway overtakes brisk.
Kia’s i-Pedal regenerative braking lets drivers slow and stop using only the accelerator, harvesting energy on deceleration.
Kia packs a Level-2 ADAS suite and a dual-screen cockpit into the Carens Clavis EV.
The safety net also includes six airbags, electronic stability control, and a 360-degree camera with blind-spot detection.
Step inside to find a digital-focused cabin with dual 12.3-inch screens and a floating center console.
The absence of a gear lever frees up storage space and adds a retractable tray for phones or water bottles.
Second-row seats slide and recline, while the third row splits 50:50 for easy access. Dual-zone climate control and rear AC vents keep all seven occupants comfortable.
