Kia to Launch 4 New Cars in 2025: Clavis, Seltos Hybrid & 2 EVs
Kia Motors is speeding up its plans for the Indian and international market in 2025, aiming to introduce four key vehicles, two of them being internal combustion models and the other two being electric vehicles. These new introductions are aimed at strengthening Kia's presence in both the mass market and EV segments, with improvements and technology updates across the board.
A glance at all the Kia vehicles that are due to launch between 2025 and 2026:
1. Kia Clavis – Launching on May 8, 2025
The Kia Clavis takes the number one spot in Kia's list with an official launch date slated for May 8. Kia had already teased the car and was seen testing it several times.
What to look forward to:
- Redesigned front face and LED headlights
- Panoramic sunroof and ADAS as premium features
Engine variants:
- 1.5L NA petrol
- 1.5L T-GDi turbo petrol
- 1.5L CRDi diesel
A cosmetic update notwithstanding, the Clavis will retain the same dependable engine variants as its predecessor.
2. Kia Seltos Hybrid – International Launch Possible by End of 2025
The Kia Seltos Hybrid, also known as SP3i, is anticipated to launch internationally in late 2025. The car has already been spotted being tested in the U.S., which suggests its global market presence.
Highlights:
- Hybrid powertrain is nearly confirmed
- Likely to track the trend of popular demand in major markets
- Anticipated design and interior configuration updates
- This iteration may be a game-changer in the mid-size hybrid SUV market.
3. Kia Carens EV – Launch Anticipated Mid-2025
Kia is planning to bring a mass-market EV in the form of a Carens-based electric vehicle. The EV is likely to borrow its platform and powertrain from either Hyundai’s EV architecture or a newly developed Kia system.
Speculations suggest:
- Exterior similar to the facelifted Carens (now called Clavis)
- Focus on urban mobility and affordability
- Positioned as a family-friendly electric MPV
4. Kia Syros EV – Expected by Late 2025
The Kia Syros EV is another new electric SUV to further boost Kia's electric lineup in India. It's likely to arrive later this year.
What we know so far:
