The Southern Korean manufacturer has gained a profound prominence in India over time. With their petrol and diesel powered vehicles such as the Seltos as well as the Sonet. They have been able to garner profound sales and returns. But since EV’s are known for being the vehicle of the new dawn its possible that KIA might launch in a few EV’s of their own soon. As of now KIA does not offer any EV vehicles in the market but that might change soon.
Here are a few EV Vehicles that KIA is expected to launch soon in the Indian Market.
KIA Syros EV
With its recent Launch the Syros has become one of the most prominent monikers from the brand. KIA is seemingly all set to launch a new EV in the following days. The car would be based on the same platform as that of the Hyundai Exter. The car would most possibly be offered with two battery packs, as seen on the Hyundai Creta Electric. This would be KIA’s approach at offering the Indian market with a affordable Indian EV SUV.
KIA Carens EV
KIA’s decisive pricing as well as teh capacbility to develop a 7 seater at a hatchback platform has made this car a hit. The Carens has been the go to choice of families considering that it offers three row seating at budget price point. While, a EV Carens might seem like a impossibility as of yet , its possible that KIA might be working ina Carens MPV that would soon be launched in India.
The car might be offered with a few battery packs as options and would be priced competitively for the Indian market.
KIA Sonet EV
While KIA has not confirmed nor showcased any official information about the launch. Its possible that to offer affordable EV’s company might focus on converting their ICE vehicles into Ev’s this would allow KIA to price their Ev creations more competitively without any issues. If KIA takes such a course the Sonet could possibly be their first choice for conversion. The rumor’s for the conversion were further conformed when a new KIA Sonet was seen being tested under heavy camouflage. The vehicle would have minimal changes on the exterior without any major mechanical changes apart from the EV conversion.
7 Seat HYBRID SUV
Asper recent news updates its possible that KIA might bring in a Hybrid SUV based on the KIA Sorento. The car might be offered with a 1.5 litre Turbocharged Engine. The upcoming SUV would be manufactured in India and would possible be exported world over considering the demand for HYBRIDS and EV’s. The EV is still under development and would possibly be launched in the next couple of years.
KIA Seltos
One of the most selling products from the KIA clan this vehicle has been known for its modern design and the robust engine options from KIA. The Seltos became a instant hit with the Indian market soon after its launch. Considering its formidable place in the Indian market KIA might give this vehicle a makeover and a HYBRID sibling as well. A strong HYBRID option makes much more sense over a full EV conversion. As of yet the EV sales have not showcased a promising rise. Manufacturers would have to develop cheaper Ev vehicles to penetrate into the Indian market easily.
Would these vehicles be launched in the Indian market in the upcoming days or not is still a mystery. But considering that KIA has untill now launched any EV’s they would soon indulge in the efforts of providing the Indian market with a freesh new EV clan.
