About Kia Carens Clavis EV
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is one of the most sensible electric cars Kia sells in India – the country’s first proper electric three-row MPV, aimed squarely at families who want seven seats and low running costs without going up to luxury money. Launched in July 2025, it takes the well-liked Carens recipe and makes it fully electric.
Kia offers two batteries: a 42 kWh good for 404 km and a 51.4 kWh that stretches to 490 km (ARAI). The smaller pack makes 135 PS and the bigger one 171 PS, both with 255 Nm to the front wheels. It is not about outright speed – this is a relaxed, practical people-mover – but charging is quick enough, with 10 to 80 percent in 39 minutes on a 100 kW DC charger and a full AC charge in under 5 hours.
What makes it stand out is value and packaging. You get 6 or 7-seat layouts, dual 12.25-inch screens, a Level 2 ADAS suite with 20 functions, an 8-speaker Bose system, ventilated seats, V2L and one-touch tumbling middle-row seats. Kia even offers a Battery-as-a-Service plan, where you buy the chassis from Rs 12.84 lakh and pay Rs 3.3 per km for the battery. With prices from Rs 17.99 lakh, the Carens Clavis EV is genuinely one of the best-value family EVs in India.
Trending news for Kia Carens Clavis EV
Kia launched the Carens Clavis EV in India on 15 July 2025, priced from Rs 17.99 lakh to Rs 24.99 lakh ex-showroom. It is India's first electric three-row MPV, offered with 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh batteries and 6 or 7-seat layouts.

Kia Carens Clavis EV range and performance
The Carens Clavis EV offers two front-wheel-drive powertrains: a 42 kWh pack with 135 PS and a 51.4 kWh pack with 171 PS, both producing 255 Nm. It is tuned as a relaxed family MPV rather than a performance car, and Kia has not published official 0-100 km/h or top-speed figures.
ARAI range is 404 km for the 42 kWh and 490 km for the 51.4 kWh. Real-world range realistically lands around 320 to 360 km for the smaller pack and 380 to 420 km for the larger one. Four levels of regenerative braking and Eco, City and Sport modes help manage efficiency.

Kia has not yet published a Bharat NCAP crash rating specifically for the Carens Clavis EV, so there is no official star rating to quote for this model at the moment.
Kia Carens Clavis EV battery and charging guide
On a 100 kW DC fast charger the Carens Clavis EV does 10 to 80 percent in 39 minutes. For home charging, an 11 kW AC charger completes a 10 to 100 percent charge in 4 hours 45 minutes. It uses the standard CCS-II port and supports four levels of regenerative braking to recover energy. V2L lets the car power external appliances and devices - handy for family outings and trips.
Kia Carens Clavis EV warranty details
Kia India covers the Carens Clavis EV battery with an 8-year or 1,60,000 km warranty, alongside a standard vehicle warranty. The car also uniquely offers a Battery-as-a-Service plan, where the battery is leased per kilometre (Rs 3.3/km) rather than bought outright, which changes the warranty and ownership structure - confirm the exact terms with your dealer for whichever plan you choose.
