Overview
- Kia India, which launched the plan Wednesday, will split the Carens Clavis EV into a chassis loan and a ₹3.3‑per‑km battery fee, and it does not change the vehicle itself.
- Sample pricing shows the Standard pack at ₹17.99 lakh ex‑showroom with a ₹12.84 lakh chassis price, a ₹51,520 down payment and EMIs from ₹26,650, while the Extended pack lists at ₹21.99 lakh with a ₹15.94 lakh chassis price, a ₹60,452 down payment and EMIs from ₹33,099.
- Loan tenures stretch up to 60 months for the chassis and up to 96 months for the battery with financing from ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bajaj Finserv.
- Owners get charging and service support through the MyKia K‑Charge app with access to 15,000‑plus points, DC fast chargers at 100‑plus dealers and 267‑plus EV‑ready workshops.
- The offer joins a broader India shift to battery‑separation plans from brands like Toyota and MG that lower entry prices through financing rather than the battery‑swap systems popular in China.
