Look and Design of Kia Carens Clavis EV
Its design is similar to the petrol and diesel models, but it has some extra electric touches. Its front grille is closed, in which the charging port is fitted very smartly. It has new 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and full-width LED DRLs, which give it a modern and premium look. Kia’s Digital Tiger Face and Star Map LED tail lights make it stand out from the rest of the cars on the road.
This car comes in six colors, so everyone can get their favorite color. Its design not only looks great, but it is also made in such a way that there is minimal wind resistance, which also increases the range of the battery.
Battery and Range
The Kia Carens Clavis EV comes with two battery options – one with 42 kWh and the other with 51.4 kWh. If you choose the smaller battery model, it can give you a range of up to 404 km as per ARAI. On the other hand, the bigger battery option gives you a fantastic range of up to 490 km. This means you can travel comfortably from Delhi to Jaipur or Mumbai to Pune without worrying about charging. Moreover, if you use a 100 kW DC fast charger, the car gets charged from 10% to 80% in just 39 minutes.
As for the motor, the 42 kWh battery produces 99 kW (132 bhp) of power and the 51.4 kWh battery produces 126 kW (169 bhp). Both variants have 255 Nm of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.4 seconds. The i-pedal technology and four levels of regenerative braking make it even more fun to drive.

The interior of this car is such that you will feel like you are sitting in a luxury car. It has two 12.3-inch displays, which combine the infotainment and driver’s screen together. Black and white dual-tone theme, 64-color ambient lighting, and an 8-speaker Bose sound system – all these together make every journey special.

With the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) feature, you can charge your electronic devices directly from the car. Also, it has more than 90 connected features and a shift-by-wire gear, which makes it even smarter.

Features like 6 airbags, electronic stability control and 360-degree camera make it safe in every situation.
Its battery is IP67 rated, which means it is completely safe from water and dust. This means that whether it is raining or dusty road, the car is ready for every weather and road. It has been specially tested on Indian roads so that the performance remains reliable.
