I’ve been following Kia’s EV plans for a while now, but this one genuinely surprised me in a good way. The Kia Carens Clavis EV has finally arrived and if you’ve been waiting for a practical, tech loaded electric family car, this might be the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Built For Indian Families
Let me start by saying, this isn’t just a regular Carens with a battery pack thrown in. From the teaser to the final spec sheet, it felt like Kia really built this EV for Indian families. We’re talking two range options, 404 km and a massive 490 km, with front-wheel-drive and charging speeds that actually ease range anxiety. A 10 to 80% charge in under an hour? That’s commuter peace of mind right there.
A Cabin That Feels Thought Out
But it’s the inside that really impressed me. Dual 12.3-inch screens light up the dash like a cockpit and the cabin has this premium feel thanks to the Triton Navy and Beige interior. Ventilated front seats, 64-color ambient lighting, retractable tables, it’s like Kia looked into every family road trip and solved the usual pain points.
Packed With Smart Features
There’s also tech I didn’t expect at this price point. Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise and blind spot monitoring, smart dashcam and V2L support to power your appliances on a picnic? That’s innovation.

Booking & pricing

Honestly I think Kia has got the balance right, practicality, features and future ready EV performance in a familiar family shape. If you ask me this is one of the most relatable and relevant EV launches in India this year.
