In a major boost to India’s growing electric mobility sector, Kia India has launched the Carens Clavis EV, the country’s most affordable 7-seater electric vehicle, with prices starting at ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This marks a significant step in making spacious family EVs more accessible to Indian consumers.
The Carens Clavis EV will be available in two battery configurations:
42 kWh variant offering a certified range of 404 km
51.4 kWh variant delivering up to 490 km on a single charge (ARAI-certified)
Both variants support fast charging, with a 10% to 80% top-up possible in just 39 minutes using a 100 kW DC charger.
Powered by advanced PMSM motors, the Clavis EV comes with:
99 kW (133 PS) motor in the 42 kWh version
126 kW (171 PS) motor in the 51.4 kWh variant
255 Nm torque, with 0–100 km/h in just 8.4 seconds for the larger battery model
The vehicle offers best-in-class comfort and tech, including:
Panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless charging
Dual-screen 26.6” display, Bose 8-speaker system, and ambient lighting
“Boss Mode” seating, air purifier with AQI display, and one-touch tumble seats
Kia has integrated Level 2 ADAS with features like:
Forward Collision Avoidance
Smart Cruise Control
Lane Keeping Assist
In addition, it offers 6 airbags, ESC, hill-start assist, 360° camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Kia’s EV infrastructure push includes:
250+ EV-ready workshops
100+ fast-charging dealerships
Access to over 11,000 public charging stations via the Kia Connect app
With support for Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and smart energy management, the Clavis EV is positioned as both a smart urban commuter and a family travel companion.
The Carens Clavis EV sits in a unique space in the Indian EV market—offering the size and versatility of an MPV with the environmental and cost-saving benefits of electric mobility. It is likely to appeal to:
Families upgrading from ICE 7-seaters like the Maruti Ertiga, Hyundai Alcazar, or Mahindra XUV700
Corporate fleets seeking sustainable people movers
Early EV adopters wanting space without compromising range or tech
At MeriEV, we believe the Clavis EV sets a new benchmark for family-friendly electric vehicles in India. With its practical range, fast-charging support, feature-rich cabin, and a sub-₹20 lakh price point, it could redefine how India thinks about 7-seaters.
