Kia’s first made-in-India EV
Kia marked a major step in its electric mobility journey with the launch of its first made-in-India EV, the Carens Clavis EV, on July 15. Priced from Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the electric recreational vehicle (RV) is designed to offer Indian buyers a spacious and accessible EV option.
The Clavis EV comes with two battery choices: a 42kWh pack delivering an ARAI-certified range of 404km, and a larger 51.4kWh battery offering up to 490km (MIDC) on a single charge. The vehicle also supports 100kW DC fast charging, enabling a 10% to 80% charge in just 39 minutes.
Performance-wise, the Clavis EV offers two motor configurations: 99kW and 126kW, producing 255Nm of peak torque. The 51.4kWh variant can sprint from 0 to 100kmph in just 8.4 seconds. Engineered for Indian road conditions, the battery is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance and includes a liquid-cooled thermal management system. It also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, allowing users to power external electronics and appliances directly from the vehicle.
