Kia has been spied testing its affordable electric MPV in India to become the first company launching an electric MPV. This is the Carens EV that was spied on the roads undergoing tests which looks the same in size as the ICE version.
Kia Carens EV was spotted in India completely camouflaged not revealing any details. From what we’ve seen from the spy shots, the front fascia looks reminiscent to the Kia EV5 like the L-shape LED DRLs within the headlamps unit connected by a thin LED light bar. The headlamp unit appears to be LED Projector and it’s possible the top-spec trim may get the full LED setup. The rear profile sees the C-shape connected LED Tail-lamps, and subtle changes to the bumpers both front and rear.

We however still don’t have a look at the interiors of the EV, but we anticipate it to largely look similar to the Seltos like seamless integrated floating dual 10.25-inch displays – Infotainment System and fully digital cluster, tweaked Centre Console and Dashboard, 6 and 7 Seater Configuration along with panoramic sunroof of top, Dual-zone climate control with new HVAC panel, Electric Parking Brake with auto hold function, and new upholstery for cabin
Technical Specs isn’t revealed yet, but we anticipate the EV to be equipped with 45 – 50 kWh Battery pack with a single motor mounted on front axle for Front-Wheel-Drive (FWD) delivering 450 – 500 KMs Range on a single charge.
In terms of features, we expect the MPV to get new amenities such as Heads-up Display (HUD), Co-Passenger Powered Seat, 360 Surround View Camera, Level 2 ADAS, Panoramic Sunroof on top, One touch up/down for all windows, among other existing features.
Kia is expected to launch the ICE Carens Facelift likely in the fourth quarter of 2024 while the EV version is expected to launch in the second half of 2025.
