Here we have listed 3 Kia electric cars that are expected to be launched in India next year
Kia India is working on new models for the domestic market as new IC-engines and electric vehicles are waiting in the pipeline. The Carens will get a facelift in the middle of next year, while an all-new compact SUV positioned between the Sonet and Seltos is also under development. Apart from this, it is believed that work is also going on on three new electric cars.
The South Korean auto major currently sells the EV6 and the recently launched EV9 flagship electric SUV as its only electric offerings in India. In 2025, Kia is expected to introduce a new version of the EV6 crossover, while the electric Sonet and Carens have also been spotted testing. All three are more likely to arrive in India sometime next year.
1. Kia Carens EV
The Kia Carens EV will likely launch in the second half of next year. Compared to the standard model, the electric version is likely to feature a distinctive exterior design as well as additional features and advanced technologies to highlight the EV identity. Although technical details have not been revealed yet, the electric MPV is expected to offer a claimed range of over 450 km on a single charge.
2. Kia EV6 Facelift
The facelifted Kia EV6 made its global debut in Korea earlier this year with a number of modifications inside and out and a new battery pack. On the inside, the curved panoramic screen has been redesigned to accommodate a 12.3-inch instrument console and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, as well as a new two-spoke steering wheel and a fingerprint reader. Considering the good reception the EV6 has received in India, we can expect it to launch sometime in 2025.
3. Kia Sonet EV
The electric compact SUV segment is continuously growing and Kia may introduce a new model based on the Sonet to take on the Tata Punch EV and the upcoming Mahindra XUV 3XO EV. It may get a battery pack capable of a claimed range of over 400 km.
