Kia is ready to debut in the mass-market electric vehicle segment with the launch of the Clavis EV; next-gen Seltos is on the cards
Kia is preparing to expand its portfolio in the Indian market by launching multiple new models in the coming years, including EVs and SUVs. The major point of focus will be the mass-market electric vehicle segment, as the Korean carmaker currently has premium EVs in its line-up, the EV6 and EV9. In the article, we will look at four new Kia cars launching in the next two years in India.
1. Kia Clavis EV
Kia will debut in the mass-market EV segment with the launch of Clavis EV, which is slated to go sale next month i.e. July 2025. The electric MPV will share its design with the new Clavis, albeit with some EV-specific changes inside out. The EV has already been spotted testing multiple times in India, and it will likely share its major powertrain components with the Hyundai Creta Electric, including the battery pack and electric motor. We expect a claimed range of over 400 kilometres from the upcoming Carens EV.

2. Kia Syros EV
The launch of the Syros EV is confirmed for the Indian market, and it is expected to debut by the end of this year or early 2026. We expect the Syros EV to get revised bumpers, new aero-efficient alloy wheels and some EV-specific branding. While the battery pack details are under wraps, the Syros is expected to come with a claimed range of around 400 kilometres on a single charge. Once launched, the Kia Syros EV will rival the likes of the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400 EV.
3. New-Gen Kia Seltos
The next-gen Seltos is set to debut globally by the end of 2025 and we expect it to arrive on Indian shores sometime next year, i.e. 2026. The new model is in the final stages of development, and spy shots of the test prototype have already been leaked online. Internally codenamed SP3i, the Korean carmaker will introduce a new strong-hybrid powertrain, along with the familiar petrol and diesel engine options. The hybrid Seltos is expected to use the familiar 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the strong hybrid setup but it may take more time to arrive.

Kia is working on the development of an all-new 7-seater hybrid SUV for the Indian market. Internally codenamed MQ4i, it will be based on the Sorento SUV sold in overseas markets and is scheduled for a launch in the year 2027. As per the reports, the Kia hybrid SUV is expected to use a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a strong hybrid setup, which will be shared with the next-gen Seltos. The upcoming 7-seater hybrid SUV will be positioned above the Seltos in the brand’s line-up, rivalling the likes of Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari.
