Kia Carens Clavis EV Unveiled Ahead of India Launch on July 15

Kia has revealed the Carens Clavis EV ahead of its launch in India on July 15, 2025. The e-MPV is similar to the ICE model, but it incorporates minor updates that highlight its electric nature. For instance, the traditional grille is replaced by a sealed one with a charging port. Moreover, the EV has aero-tuned alloy wheels. Inside, the dashboard and the 7-seat layout are familiar. However, the EV features a white and black colour scheme. This combination is found on the lower versions of the ICE Carens Clavis. The storage space is more in the EV as the traditional gear selector is no longer a part of the centre console.

While powertrain details are still under wraps, Kia has confirmed that the electric iteration will have a claimed range of 490 kilometres (MIDC). Read on for more details.
