Kia India has officially teased its upcoming 7-seater SUV, the Kia Clavis, signaling a significant addition to its lineup. Positioned to sit between the Kia Sonet and Seltos, the Clavis is expected to offer a blend of modern design, advanced features, and versatile powertrain options. It aims to compete with popular family SUVs like the Toyota Innova and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
Modern Design Inspired by Flagship Models
The Clavis will reflect Kia’s global Design 2.0 philosophy. Inspired by flagship models like the EV9 and Carnival Limousine, its exterior styling is boxy yet premium.
Key highlights include:
Boxy, tall-boy silhouette for better cabin space
Flush door handles and flat roof for a modern look
Kia is expected to equip the Clavis with best-in-segment interior features, aimed at comfort and connectivity.
Expected features:
Panoramic sunroof
Dual 10.25-inch digital displays (cluster + infotainment)
Ventilated and power-adjustable front seats
Premium sound system
360-degree camera system
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Engine Options and Electric Variant
The Clavis will likely offer multiple powertrain options:
1.5L Naturally Aspirated Petrol – 113 bhp, paired with manual transmission
1.5L Turbo Petrol – 158 bhp, with manual or 7-speed DCT
1.5L Diesel – 113 bhp, available in manual and automatic
Electric Version – Expected 6 months after ICE variants; likely to share the same platform
This diverse engine lineup will appeal to both performance seekers and efficiency-conscious buyers.
Launch Timeline & Competition
The Clavis is expected to make its global debut by late 2024 and launch in India in early 2025. It will be positioned between the Sonet and Seltos in Kia’s SUV lineup.
The upcoming Kia Clavis 7-Seater SUV is designed to meet the growing demand for spacious, feature-packed family cars. With its bold styling, cutting-edge features, and variety of powertrain choices, the Clavis is set to become a strong contender in India’s mid-size SUV market.
