Kia Carens Clavis EV - Price Range Expectations Based on Rivals

While the Kia Carens Clavis EV doesn't have a direct competitor in the 7-seater electric MPV segment, it will compete with popular electric SUVs like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE.05, and the upcoming Maruti e Vitara.

The Carens Clavis EV is expected to be priced competitively in the market, considering its rivals' pricing.

Based on the price of similar electric SUVs and MPVs, we expect the Carens Clavis EV to start around Rs 16-18 lakh (ex-showroom). This price point would place it in a similar range to the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV, which are priced in the Rs 20-25 lakh range, depending on the variant.

Higher-end variants of the Kia Carens Clavis EV could reach up to Rs 24.50 lakh, competing with more premium electric SUVs like the Hyundai Creta Electric and the Mahindra BE.05, which are also expected to be priced in this range.

The final price will likely be influenced by factors such as battery size, trim levels, and features.

Additionally, a lower-spec version with a 42 kWh battery pack will offer a claimed range of around 400km.
