This MPV may use a powertrain similar to the Hyundai Creta EV, offering two battery options — 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh. The 51.4 kWh battery will provide an MIDC-certified range of 490 km, while the 42 kWh battery will deliver a range of 390 km.

With 50 kW DC fast charging, its battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 58 minutes. It will also feature Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities.

Safety Features

The Carens Clavis EV will include safety features such as 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control, and Level 2 ADAS (including Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist). It is likely to be available in both 7-seater and 6-seater configurations, with the option of captain seats in the second row.

The Kia Carens Clavis EV could set a new benchmark in India’s electric vehicle market. It offers an excellent blend of premium features and eco-friendly performance, making it a great choice for large families.
