If you’re a growing family looking to switch to electric without sacrificing space, comfort or convenience – the Kia Carens Clavis EV might just be your next big move. Kia’s new all-electric MPV just landed in India, built to handle everything a busy family life throws its way.

Let’s break it down.

Big Range, Bigger Convenience

You get two battery options with the Kia Carens Clavis EV – both to keep your charging worries at bay.

  • 42 kWh Standard Range: Gives you up to 404 km of ARAI-certified range – perfect for school runs, daily commutes and weekend plans.
  • 51.4 kWh Extended Range: Delivers up to 490 km on a full charge – perfect for covering more ground with fewer charging breaks.

Both come with a front-mounted motor and 255 Nm of torque. The extended-range variant gets 171 PS of power and 0–100 km/h in just 8.4 seconds. Silent and smooth – just the way an EV should be.

Charging Made Easy

Kia has got the charging part covered:

  • AC Fast Charger (11 kW): Takes about 4–4.75 hours to fully charge.
  • Using a 100 kW DC fast charger, the battery goes from 10% to 80% in just 39 minutes — quick enough for a short break.
  • V2L Feature: Need to power a campsite or charge a laptop outdoors? Just plug into your car.

Interior Comfort For The Whole Family

Step inside the Carens Clavis EV and it’s clear – this cabin was built to stretch out, plug in, and settle in.

  • Available in both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations.
  • Dual 12.25-inch screens, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and a 25-liter frunk.
  • You get seamless smartphone integration without wires, plenty of USB-C ports for every row, and rich sound from an 8-speaker Bose system.
  • Paddle shifters to tweak regenerative braking including i-Pedal mode for one-pedal driving.

Safety Speaks for Itself

Clavis EV comes with 6 airbags as standard and Level 2 ADAS, 360° camera, blind-spot view monitor. Its IP67-rated battery is built to withstand India’s heat, rain and everything in between.
