The SUV segment remains incredibly popular among consumers, leading car manufacturers to introduce a multitude of new high-riding models. Kia is reportedly preparing to launch another crossover for its lineup in India and other global markets. This upcoming vehicle will be compact-sized, measuring under 4 meters, and will be called the Clavis.
Rumors began circulating when Kia recently trademarked the ‘Clavis’ brand in the Indian market. Although the trademark filing on December 12th did not reveal the potential vehicle’s body style, local media outlets speculate that it will be an SUV. Anonymous sources from India suggest that the Kia Clavis will feature a boxy and sturdy design.
The Sonet 2024 facelift is currently the smallest SUV in Kia’s Indian lineup
According to Indian publication Autocar, the Kia Clavis will serve as a bridge between the small Sonet and the recently upgraded Seltos. Reports suggest that the Clavis will initially offer conventional internal combustion engine options, with an electric powertrain option to be introduced later. The vehicle is expected to be launched in 2024 and hit the market in early 2025.
As there have been no official confirmations or leaked images of the Kia Clavis, we can only speculate about its design and specifications. Given the growing demand for small and compact SUVs globally, Kia’s new model is likely to be available in emerging markets beyond India.
