India’s First 7-Seater Electric MPV Coming Soon: Kia Carens Clavis EV Set to Launch on July 15

The Indian electric vehicle market is rapidly expanding, and auto manufacturers are racing to deliver new and innovative models to meet the growing demand. In a significant development, Kia is all set to launch India’s first 7-seater electric MPV, the Carens Clavis EV, on July 15, 2025. This move is expected to strengthen Kia’s foothold in the family-centric electric vehicle segment and add new momentum to the EV revolution in the country.

Kia Carens Clavis EV: What to Expect

Designed to combine space, performance, and sustainability, the Carens Clavis EV is a fully electric multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that caters especially to larger families. The new EV offering will come with modern design elements and features aimed at urban and semi-urban buyers. Kia aims to position this electric MPV as an affordable yet premium vehicle, ensuring it appeals across generations.

Battery Options and Driving Range

The Carens Clavis is likely to be offered with two battery pack options:

• 42 kWh battery

• 51.4 kWh battery

These setups are similar to those used in the Hyundai Creta Electric, making them reliable choices in terms of performance. The expected driving range is approximately:

• 390 km on a full charge for the 42 kWh variant

• 473 km on a full charge for the 51.4 kWh variant

Both variants are expected to feature front-axle-mounted electric motors, delivering outputs of 135 PS and 171 PS, respectively. Given the larger and heavier design of a 7-seater MPV, the real-world range may be slightly lower, but still competitive in its class.

Launch Date and Expected Price

The official launch of the Kia Carens Clavis EV is set for July 15, 2025. While Kia has not revealed the official pricing, media reports suggest a starting price of ₹16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing would make the Carens Clavis one of the most affordable 7-seater electric MPVs in the Indian market.

Kia’s Bigger EV Plans for India

Kia is not stopping with just the Carens Clavis. The company is also planning to roll out several other electric vehicles in India over the next few years, including:

• Kia EV3

• Kia EV5

• Seltos EV

• SyrosV

These upcoming models indicate Kia’s strong commitment to the electric transition and its strategy to tap into various market segments, from compact EVs to larger utility vehicles.

Final Thoughts

The launch of the Kia Carens Clavis EV is a landmark moment for the Indian EV industry, especially for families seeking more spacious and eco-friendly travel options. With modern features, impressive range, and competitive pricing, this vehicle could redefine the electric MPV space in India.
