2025 Kia Carens Clavis EV: Exterior Design  

The overall design of the 2025 Kia Carens Clavis remains similar to the ICE-powered version, albeit with a few tweaks that are easy to spot. 

Up front, you get the familiar blanked-off grille and triangular LED headlights with sleek LED DRLs. There is also a light bar connecting the DRLs, a touch that isn’t available with the standard Clavis. The charging port is located on the front and right below, you can find small LED fog lamps.

In profile, you continue to get the familiar silhouette with body cladding and roof rails for a more rugged look. The main change comes in the form of new alloy wheels, which get aero covers for better aerodynamic efficiency. 

Moving on to the rear, the Carens Clavis EV continues to get the same set of connected LED tail lamps found in its standard sibling. A tweaked rear bumper rounds off the overall look. 

2025 Kia Carens Clavis EV: Interior Design 

Things are very familiar on the inside as the dashboard design and layout is bang identical to the fossil-fuel powered Clavis. It ain’t a bad thing as the dashboard with the dual screen layout and two-spoke steering wheel looks modern. The main difference is the lower centre console, where you now get more storage spaces due to the lack of a transmission. 

Unlike the standard Clavis, where you can get it either as a 7-seater or a 6-seater, the electric version is strictly offered as a 7-seater.
