Kia Carens Clavis EV India Launch: Expected Date, Price And Key Details

Kia is all set to roll out an electric version of the Carens Clavis in India, and it looks like we’ll see the launch next month. While there’s not much info from Kia just yet, this EV will be their first mass-market electric vehicle in India. Though Kia hasn’t confirmed the details, it’s believed that the Carens Clavis EV will share the same electric motor and battery setup as the Hyundai Creta EV. The reason behind this is that both models are built on different versions of the same platform, making it easier and more cost-effective to fit the Creta’s electric powertrain into the Carens Clavis.

The Hyundai Creta EV comes with two battery options: 51.4 kWh and 42 kWh. The bigger 51.4 kWh battery gives you a range of 473 km, while the 42 kWh one offers about 390 km. Both versions are powered by a front axle-mounted electric motor, with the 42 kWh pack cranking out 133 hp and the 51.4 kWh pack delivering 168 hp. It’s worth noting that the Carens Clavis EV might have slightly different power and range figures since it’s a bit larger with its three-row seating.

As for charging, while range and power could vary, charging times should be pretty similar. The 42 kWh pack takes about 4 hours to charge from 10% to 100% with an 11 kW charger, while the 51.4 kWh pack needs around 4 hours and 50 minutes. If you use a 50 kW fast charger, both packs can be charged in about 58 minutes.

In comparison, the internal combustion engine version of the Creta ranges from Rs 11.10 lakh to Rs 20.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The Carens Clavis itself starts from Rs 11.49 lakh and goes up to Rs 19.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on this pricing, it seems pretty likely that the Carens Clavis EV will be priced higher than the ICE version, possibly starting around Rs 17 lakh and peaking at about Rs 23 lakh.
