More images of the Clavis, Kia's entry into the fiercely competitive sub-four meter SUV market, are out. Images of Clavis testing in India have surfaced. Kia has brought Clavis as a model between Sonnet and Seltos. Kia's petrol model will arrive by the end of this year, followed by an electric model six months later.
Leaked pictures and videos during the test run give many clues about the Kia Clavis. At first glance, the Clavis has an SUV look with higher height and ground clearance. The body cladding and roof rails add to the rough look. There are indications that the new Clavis is likely to be a larger vehicle than the Hyundai Exeter. It has vertical headlamps and tail lamps.
Images of the interior of the Clavis were already out. Clavis has the same styling found in regular Kia vehicles. It also has a large touch screen, ventilated seats, 360 degree camera and sunroof. It is suggested that the Clavis will have a wider interior than the Sonnet.
The Clavis proves its strength when it comes to the powertrain. Clavis is expected to arrive in petrol and electricity. Both will arrive on the same platform. Kia is also likely to launch a hybrid Clavis in the future. All variants will be front wheel drive.
Kia is expected to launch the Clavis by the end of this year. Sales will begin early next year. We will have to wait another six months for the electric model. Clavis will be a car made in India for Indians. But at least some cars can be expected to be exported. The price will be close to Rs.10 lakh. The Clavis will compete mainly with Tata Nexon, Punch, Maruti Suzuki Brazza, Fronx, Hyundai Venue and Creta.
