Kia is gearing up to significantly expand its electric vehicle (EV) portfolio in India with the introduction of at least four new models in the coming years. This ambitious plan includes an electric MPV, two compact electric SUVs, and an updated version of the EV6 crossover.
Upcoming Kia EVs
1. Updated Kia EV6
The updated Kia EV6, unveiled earlier this year, boasts a refreshed design and upgraded technology, including a modern curved panoramic display and a stylish interior. These enhancements are expected to be carried over to the India-bound model.
2. Kia Carens EV
Kia is reportedly developing an electric version of its popular Carens MPV, specifically for the Indian market. This family-friendly EV is expected to launch by late 2025, offering a range of over 450 km on a single charge.
3. Kia Sonet EV
Kia is also planning to enter the competitive compact electric SUV segment with a new model based on the Sonet platform. This upcoming EV is likely to offer a range of 400-450 km per charge, challenging rivals like the Tata Punch EV and Mahindra XUV300 EV.
4. Kia Syros EV
Kia’s upcoming electric compact SUV based on the Syros is expected to arrive in 2026. Positioned above the Sonet EV, this model will emphasize premium features and a spacious interior.
Kia’s Electrification Strategy
Kia’s expansion of its EV lineup in India reflects the company’s commitment to sustainable mobility and its focus on meeting the growing demand for electric vehicles in the country.
