These centers will be staffed with trained technicians, equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, and feature exclusive service bays for EVs—ensuring quick, high-quality support for electric vehicle owners.Visually, the Clavis EV will stay largely in line with its ICE counterpart that debuted in May 2025 but will feature EV-specific styling cues. Expect a closed-off grille, aerodynamic alloy wheels, exclusive EV emblems, Star Map LED DRLs with integrated indicators, triple-pod LED headlamps, and a continuous Star Map LED tail light—giving the vehicle a sleek, futuristic look.Inside, the Clavis EV will likely mirror the layout of the ICE version but elevate the experience with more premium features.

High-end features include ventilated front seats, a 4-way powered driver's seat, ambient lighting, a smart air purifier, an 8-speaker BOSE audio system, wireless charging, and rear AC vents—all geared toward comfort and convenience.Kia confirmed via a teaser that the Carens Clavis EV will deliver an ARAI-certified range of up to 490km. It will likely get both batteries which the Hyundai Creta Electric offers, and the motor, mounted on the front axle—is likely to deliver comparable performance, though it may be slightly detuned due to the Carens' larger footprint.Performance will be further enhanced by adjustable regenerative braking via paddle shifters. Advanced EV features like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging are also expected to be onboard, boosting its practicality. Moreover, Kia is set to offer a range of Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, high beam assist, and driver attention monitoring—making it one of the safest options in its class.advertisementThe Clavis EV will also pack a comprehensive safety suite, including six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, and all-wheel disc brakes. Additional safety enhancements like a 360-degree camera, blind-view monitor, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and a dual-camera dash cam are also anticipated.Subscribe to Auto Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch
