Kia Carens Clavis EV spotted ahead of launch

Kia India confirmed that they will be launching the all-electric version of the Carens Clavis. This information was confirmed at the launch of the Carens Clavis, that the brand will be launching the Carens Clavis later this year in the Indian market and it will be the most affordable electric vehicle in Kia's portfolio.

In the spy shots, it can be seen that the Carens Clavis EV uses new EV-specific wheel covers that help with aerodynamics and efficiency. The previous spy shots have revealed that the charging port will be positioned in the front, which makes it easier to position the car while charging the car. Usually, when the charging port is positioned on a fender or the quarter panel, the driver needs to position the car in such a way that the charging cable can reach the charging port. However, if the port is in the front, then this issue is eliminated.

The new Carens Clavis itself has a design that looks inspired by electric vehicles in that there is no immediate visible grille and smooth lines. The same will be true for the all-electric version.headlamp setup would be carried over but we can expect few tweaks to the bumper considering that there would be a charging flap in the front. The new lighting elements are inspired by the new Kia EV3 that was unveiled in the global market. The same design language will be seen on the upcoming vehicles as well. Kia is trying to streamline the design language for all its vehicles which will help their cars to be recognized as a Kia immediately.

There would also be Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on the Carens Clavis EV. There is a camera present on the windshield, which confirms the availability of ADAS. Also, there are front parking sensors in the bumper. Expect the upcoming Kia Carens Clavis EV to come with side sensors as well, which were introduced to the recently launched Kia Syros. There is a possibility that Kia might revamp the design of the tail lights.
