Kia Clavis India Launch Details
According to our sources, the Kia Clavis EV is anticipated to debut by mid-2025, while the petrol version will debut towards the end of this year and go on sale early next year. Even though the Clavis is a sub-4m SUV that was created especially for India, some will also be exported. Due to its size and localization, the compact SUV should also have a competitive price. However, it should cost a little more than the Sonet, which is currently available for Rs 7.99 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi.
Exterior
The Clavis’s dual-tone alloy wheels and squared wheel arches give it an upright stance in the spy photos. In addition, the car will have a blacked-out A-pillar, roof rails, and turn indicators on ORVMs.
Interior
We anticipate the Clavis to have features like a touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, electric sunroof, wireless charger, rear AC vents, and cruise control, though the interior specifications are still unknown.
Kia Clavis powertrain
Both gasoline and electric powertrains will be available for the Clavis, as we previously reported; the latter is anticipated to be added to the lineup roughly six months after the ICE. The same platform will support both models, and a hybrid version may be added later. All models will have front-wheel drive, though.
Kia Clavis Safety Features
The new spy photos validate some of the safety equipment that will be on the model as well as the previously seen design details, such as the compact SUV’s boxy, upright shape with the wheels pushed out to the corners.
A radar module and front parking sensors are visible in the photos, indicating that ADAS assistance will be available. Six airbags, ABS, a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system, and rear disc brakes are additional safety equipment that is anticipated but not visible in the spy photos.
Price
Although it is still in development, the Kia Clavis SUV is anticipated to reach India in the middle of 2025. This new Kia offering is anticipated by both potential buyers and auto enthusiasts. In the growing SUV market, it is a desirable choice for many buyers due to the anticipated price range of Rs 8 lakh to Rs 11 lakh.
Engine and Transmission
With the same gasoline and diesel engine options as the Sonet, Kia is anticipated to launch the Clavis. There are three possible engine options: a 1.5-liter turbo-diesel, a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol, and a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. A 6-speed iMT, a 7-speed DCT automatic, a 5-speed manual, or a 6-speed manual are possible transmission options.
Conclusion
With its competitive features, safety technologies, and both gasoline and electric drivetrains, the Kia Clavis is expected to be a desirable addition to the Indian market for small SUVs. The Clavis, which is anticipated to launch by the end of 2024, may be distinguished by its elegant appearance, cutting-edge technology, and reasonable price range of Rs 8–11 lakh.
