The EV revolution in India just got a powerful new player. Kia India has launched the Carens Clavis EV, and it’s nothing short of a game-changer. Touted as India’s first made-in-India 7-seater EV, this electric marvel blends practicality, futuristic design, and cutting-edge features — all starting at an attractive ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Whether you’re a family of 5 or just someone who loves road-tripping with friends, this EV checks all the right boxes.
🔋 Battery & Range: Two Variants, Both Impressive
Kia understands Indian driving needs, and that’s why the Clavis EV comes with two battery options:
- 42 kWh Standard Range – Delivers a certified range of 404 km
- 51.4 kWh Long Range – Pushes up to 490 km on a single charge
These numbers make the Clavis EV ideal for both city commutes and long weekend getaways — with no range anxiety.
⚙️ Performance that Responds Instantly
This EV doesn’t just sip energy — it delivers torque. Both variants have a front-mounted motor with up to 171 PSpower and a punchy 255 Nm of torque.
0 to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds (Extended Range) is no joke. And for city control, you also get four levels of regenerative braking plus i-Pedal mode — letting you drive with just one pedal.

- 100 kW DC Fast Charging: 10% to 80% in just 39 minutes
- 11 kW AC Charging: Full charge in 4–4.75 hours, depending on the battery pack
Ideal for overnight home charging or quick top-ups at public stations.
