      Kia Carens Clavis EV TeaserAccess to 11,000+ Charging Points, 250+ EV-Ready Workshops, and Seamless Digital Experience via MyKia App
      In a major stride towards electric mobility, Kia India has announced a comprehensive EV ecosystem tailored for the upcoming Carens Clavis EV. Central to this initiative is the launch of K-Charge—a new feature on the MyKia app that offers users access to more than 11,000 EV charging points across India in collaboration with 18 leading Charge Point Operators.
      Set to launch the Carens Clavis EV via webcast on 15 July at 12:00 PM, Kia is laying the groundwork for a seamless electric ownership experience. The K-Charge platform allows EV owners to search for chargers, check real-time availability, plan their routes, and complete payments, all through the MyKia app. This eliminates the need for multiple third-party apps, offering a one-stop solution for EV charging.

      EV Support Infrastructure Nationwide
      Kia’s commitment extends beyond software. The automaker has established a network of 250+ EV-ready workshops across India, equipped with trained EV technicians and specialised tools. Furthermore, over 100 Kia dealerships are already equipped with DC fast chargers ranging from 60kW to 240kW, enabling fast charging during routine service visits or on-the-go top-ups. To cater to home-charging needs, Kia also provides advanced AC home chargers with 7.4kW and 11kW capacity—faster and more efficient than most offerings in the mass-market EV segment.
      Mr. Joonsu Cho, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said, “Our focus has always been on delivering innovation that makes a real difference. With our comprehensive EV ecosystem now in place, we are empowering customers to experience electric mobility with ease and confidence. This strong foundation allows us to support the next wave of EV adoption across the country, making electric driving practical, reliable, and accessible for all. We are confident that this will not only enhance the ownership journey but also strengthen our leadership in the fast-changing mobility space.”
      Kia aims to expand the K-Charge access to over 20,000 charging points by mid-2026, further cementing its commitment to electric mobility. The initiative integrates vehicles, infrastructure, service, and digital tools into one seamless EV experience.
      Global Momentum, Local Execution
      Globally, Kia continues to make headlines with award-winning electric models like the EV6, EV9, and the newly launched EV3. In India, the Carens Clavis EV will mark the company’s first domestically produced EV, backed by a robust and future-ready ecosystem. With the EV landscape rapidly evolving, Kia India’s efforts position it as a key enabler of practical, premium, and sustainable mobility for Indian consumers. More

      MG M9 Electric MPV Rear Seat Experience – The Game Of Thrones!

      by

      MG M9 Rear Seat ReviewIn India, many OEMs have boarded the luxury MPV train with stark examples being the now discontinued Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Kia Carnival, Toyota Vellfire and Lexus LM. There’s a new challenger in this segment, one that comes with electrifying performance and promises over the top luxury.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      Of course, we’re talking about the new MG M9 electric luxury MPV, which is the maiden vehicle to be offered through MG Select dealerships and experience centres by JSW MG Motor India. We experienced the MG M9 in Goa at the national media drive and in this post, we will only express about the rear seat experience and our opinions as to just how luxurious MG M9’s rear seats are.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      MG M9 Electric MPV Rear Seat Experience
      You must be familiar with a popular show on HBO called Game Of Thrones. While this is a fictional and mythological fantasy TV show, there is a Game Of Thrones happening in the automotive world. One where the elite executives are slowly transgressing from full-size sedans to luxurious MPVs for that ultimate comfort and relaxation.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      MG M9 electric MPV aims to offer the best possible experience to these chauffeur-driven elites, who are already spoiled with a few options. Where rear-seat experience is concerned, we MG M9 offers a nice blend of space and comfort, along with exquisite luxury, over the top technology, equipment, features and creature comforts.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      Rear seat experience of MG M9 starts with the powered sliding rear doors which can be triggered by request sensors on the handle or the key. Helping you to climb inside are a robust built-in step on door sill and a long grab handle. M9 is a tall vehicle and scooting into the seat after hopping in is like a cakewalk.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      Feature Fest
      Once on M9’s rear seat, one can’t help but notice the amount of vehicular controls that can be accessed from here. Some of these include rear auto climate control with dedicated blower, front and rear panoramic sunroof with an electric blind, rear theatre lights, electrically sliding doors, front passenger seat with the help of electric Boss Mode and more.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      These individual rear thrones are stupendously comfortable with all the support and plushness one could ask for. Both rear occupants get dedicated window blinds and these windows can go all the way down as well. Occupants are spoiled with a rear panoramic sunroof, dedicated AC vents and infotainment screens that get smartphone linking, music and AUX in along with a host of Android apps including Google Chrome and Youtube.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      The outer-end armrest gets a sliding function and below it, we have a retractable cupholder that can accommodate multiple bottle diameters. Inner-end armrest can be opened to reveal a tissue paper dispenser and a dedicated stowaway for these tissues along with Type-A and Type-C USB posts. To access 3rd row seats, one can just walk between 2nd row seats and 3rd row occupants get dedicated Type-A ports, AC vents and other amenities.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      A King’s Throne
      2nd row seats are easily the most important ones here and they are electrically operated, heated (3 levels), cooled (3 levels) and even offer 8 massage functions including Pulse, Wave, Walk, Single, Comfort, Butterfly, Waist and Snake. These massaging functions come in handy during the commute back home after a long day of work.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review – Extend Mode
      All seat settings and most vehicular settings are crammed into a dedicated display present below the sliding armrest of both 2nd row seats. Using this screen, 2nd row captain chairs can be electrically operated to the full extent to move it front, back, sides and recline along with lumbar support, headrest position and the position of powered calf support which can be extended too.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review – Sleep Mode
      If you don’t want to fiddle with individual seat settings, there is a memory function too, which is just convenient. MG has also crammed in Extend function that automatically brings it to a relaxed position and there is even a Sleep Comfort button that will recline and allow you to sleep as well. The same screen controls front passenger window, both rear windows, front sunroof, rear sunroof, rear auto climate control and a host of other vehicular functions.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review – 3rd Row
      Then comes the Scenario Centre that bundles seat ventilation, seat position, window and sunroof positions into four scenarios. These are Summer Cool, Winter Warm, Rest Moment and Fresh & Comfort. All these scenarios are completely customisable and with the press of one scenario, it will adjust all set parameters on its own, which is a smart feature.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      Plush Luxury
      2nd row experience on MG M9 electric luxury MPV is not just limited to features, gizmos and comfort factor. MG has taken care of luxury too. The company is using soft leather on the seats and a mix of Alcantara thrown in for good measure. The same treatment extends to rear door pads as well.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review – Boss Mode
      There’s soft touch plastics almost everywhere, complemented by gloss Black elements and brushed Aluminium elements. MG has worked on sound insulation of M9 from outside elements. When moving, there’s almost nothing that filters through M9’s well insulated cabin. Wind noise, tyre noise and road noise are very well contained.
      MG M9 Rear Seat Review
      All in all, MG M9 offers one of the best rear-seat experiences in the luxury MPV business and it all depends on MG M9’s pricing, which is still under wraps. We will say, MG M9’s Game for the Throne is quite strong. We would encourage prospective buyers to test the MG M9 before considering any imported luxury vehicle in India.

      Harrier EV Receives Record 10,000 Bookings In 24 Hours – Production Starts

      by

      Harrier EV Receives Record 10,000 BookingsTata Harrier EV is being manufactured at the company’s Pune facility and deliveries are scheduled to commence from July 2025
      With over 10,000 bookings on the day of launch, it is evident that Tata Harrier EV has received a phenomenal market response. This is the second-best booking numbers in this segment. Earlier this year in February, Harrier EV’s primary rival, Mahindra XEV 9e, had received bookings of 16,900 units on the day of launch.
      Tata Harrier EV production, delivery details
      Monthly production targets for Harrier EV have not been revealed. But the brand seems confident of keeping up with potential increased demand. Even though there is an ongoing shortage of rare earth metals, Tata has stated that it currently does not face any immediate crisis. It implies that production of Harrier EV will continue in a seamless manner. Customers can expect to get their deliveries in a timely manner.

      It’s no longer just coming soon. It’s being made. ?Production of India’s most powerful homegrown SUV has begun.
      With over 10,000 bookings on the very first day, Harrier.ev is now in motion to Delete — Impossible.

      — TATA.ev (@Tataev) July 4, 2025

      It is likely that supply chains could have been proactively strengthened or a higher inventory of raw materials was maintained. Tata reportedly imports battery cells from established suppliers from China. These cells are then assembled into battery packs by Tata AutoComp.
      To cater to the battery needs of its growing EV portfolio, Tata is building a battery gigafactory in India. The related entity, Agratas, will start manufacturing lithium-ion battery cells in 2026. Local manufacturing of battery packs will allow the brand to exercise greater control over production costs.
      Harrier EV – Performance, specs
      Harrier EV has two battery pack options – a 65-kWh and a 75-kWh unit. Certified range is 538 km with the smaller battery pack and 627 km with the larger battery (MIDC standards). However, Tata provides a more realistic range estimate with its C75 testing standards. C75 numbers are 420 km to 445 km with the 65-kWh battery pack and 480 km to 505 km with the 75-kWh battery variant.
      Harrier EV top variant is available in QWD format (quad wheel drive with dual motors), using the larger 75 kWh battery pack. It has a certified range of 622 km. C75 range for the QWD is 460 km to 490 km. Talking about performance, the RWD variants generate 238 PS and 315 Nm of torque.
      Harrier EV QWD dual motor variant generates 158 PS with the front motor and 238 PS with the rear motor. Combined torque output is 504 Nm. RWD variants get drive modes of Eco, City and Sport, whereas the QWD variant gets an additional Boost mode.
      50% EV market share target
      As competition in the electric segment has intensified, Tata Motors is looking to maintain market share of around 50% in the medium to long term. Good response to products like Harrier EV gives Tata the confidence to move ahead with its ambitious goals in the EV space.
      Tata Motors already has the largest portfolio of electric cars in the mass-market segment. There are several new EVs under development such as Safari EV, Sierra EV and Avinya range. To tackle increasing competition in the EV segment, Tata Motors has plans to build a war chest of up to 350 billion rupees ($4.1 billion). The funds are planned to be used over a five-year period.

      New Renault Megane EV Spotted With Chennai Number Plates

      by

      New Renault Megane EV SpottedIn Europe, Renault Megane EV is equipped with a 220 hp E-Tech electric powertrain and offers a range of 285 miles (~460 km)
      Renault will be introducing multiple new models in India including the new-gen Duster and its 7-seater version, Boreal SUV. 2026 Kwid EV has also been spotted on road tests. Latest sighting is that of Renault Megane E-Tech Electric in Chennai. Let’s check out the details.
      Renault Megane EV – What’s brewing?
      Last year too, the Renault Megane EV was spotted in India. At that time, sources had revealed that the vehicle was being used for internal testing. Renault Megane EV was launched in 2022, as the 5th-gen successor to the ICE-powered Megane. As of now, Megane EV is primarily targeted at European markets. The first-gen Renault Megane (ICE) was launched in 1995.
      New Renault Megane EV Spotted
      At the time of launch of Megane EV, Renault was actually thinking about the possibility of introducing it in India. It would have arrived in India via the CBU route, with an expected price of around Rs 45 lakh. However, those plans apparently did not materialize.
      With the Megane EV spotted once again in India, could things be different this time? It could be possible, as the government has revised its EV policy. One of the key changes is the reduction in import duty for EVs from 110% to 15%. This new EV policy has been introduced as the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India (SPMEPCI).
      New Renault Megane EV Spotted
      Carmakers like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Skoda, Hyundai and Kia have shown interest in participating in SPMEPCI. While not officially confirmed, Renault could be thinking about following a similar approach. Import duty reduction from 110% to 15% can be a major advantage for imported EVs in India.
      New Renault Megane EV Spotted
      SPMEPCI is applicable for EVs that are priced above USD 35,000 or approx. Rs 30 lakh. Renault Megane EV fulfils this criterion, as the price in the UK starts at £32,495 (approx. Rs 37.88 lakh). However, there are various other conditions under SPMEPCI, which may or may not suit every carmaker. It is to note that India-EU trade talks are also underway and the outcome could impact Renault’s strategy for India.
      Renault Megane EV – Powertrain, specs
      Renault Megane E-Tech Electric is based on the CMF-EV platform. It is available with two front-wheel-drive electric motor options of 96 kW (130 hp) and 160 kW (220 hp). The 220 hp variant can achieve 0 to 100 km/h in around 7.4 seconds. Megane EV was originally launched with two battery pack options of 40 kWh and 60 kWh. However, most markets now have only the 60-kWh battery pack. As per WLTP standards, range is 285 miles (approx. 460 km).
      When using a 150 kW DC public fast charger, Renault Megane EV can achieve 15%-80% charge in around 32 minutes. With a 22 kW AC public charger, the charging time is 4 hours 10 minutes. Megane EV can also be charged with a 7.4 kW AC home charging point, which takes around 6 hours to achieve 15% to 80% charge. Across Europe, Renault Megane EV takes on rivals such as Volkswagen ID.3, Peugeot e-308, Cupra Born, MG4 Electric, Hyundai Kona Electric (New-Gen) and Kia Niro EV. More

      Mahindra Vision.S Concept Teased – Could It Be Electric Scorpio or Pickup?

      by

      Mahindra Teases Vision.S ConceptMahindra is stirring excitement with a brand-new teaser for Vision.S, ahead of its much-anticipated Freedom_NU event scheduled on August 15 in Mumbai. The event name celebrates India’s Independence Day (“Freedom”) while hinting at Mahindra’s future vehicle architecture “NU” — a flexible new platform that will support both hybrid (ICE) and electric vehicles.
      What is Mahindra Vision.S?
      The teaser, posted by Mahindra Automotive on its social channels, features both the ICE and Mahindra Electric Origin logos, strongly indicating that the upcoming Freedom_NU platform will be capable of supporting multiple powertrains, including petrol, diesel, EV and potentially hybrids. Mahindra has earlier teased Vision.T, speculated to preview an Electric Thar. The newly teased Vision.S is expected to preview either the Electric Scorpio N or its pickup derivative — or perhaps an entirely new product in Mahindra’s SUV portfolio.

      Muscular presence re-defined. Vision.S comes to life this Independence Day at #FREEDOM_NU.#MahindraAuto #MahindraElectricOriginSUVs pic.twitter.com/3r7h9i4m79
      — Mahindra Automotive (@Mahindra_Auto) July 2, 2025

      The Vision.S teaser gives little away, but considering Mahindra’s product roadmap and the hashtag Freedom_NU, it may preview the electrified future of the hugely popular Scorpio N or the Scorpio N pickup. These two products have been in the spotlight recently, with the Scorpio N pickup concept shown in 2023 now seen testing on Indian roads.
      Mahindra Teases Vision.S Concept
      Scorpio N Electric and Pickup Possibilities
      The Scorpio N pickup will be a global product, heading to markets like Australia, South Africa, and the Middle East. It is likely to borrow the 2.2L diesel engine from the Scorpio N SUV, with a petrol option also possible to keep costs in check and meet evolving emissions standards. High ground clearance, multiple drive modes, 4×4 options, and a tough suspension setup with leaf springs for load-carrying ability are all expected, especially after test mules were spied recently with visible changes from the Cape Town concept.
      Mahindra Teases Vision.S Concept
      The Scorpio N Electric, meanwhile, could use the same rugged body-on-frame approach adapted to house battery packs and an electric powertrain, maintaining the Scorpio’s legendary off-road prowess while delivering a zero-emissions alternative.
      Freedom_NU Platform – A Flexible Future
      Mahindra’s Freedom_NU platform (possibly an evolved form of its New Flexible Architecture or NFA) is being positioned as the brand’s next big leap — designed to integrate petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in a single modular base. The teaser’s closing moments, flashing both ICE and electric logos, strongly reinforce this direction.
      As interest in lifestyle SUVs and pickups surges, Mahindra appears to be building a future-ready lineup that will appeal to both traditional adventure enthusiasts and new-age electric adopters. The official unveiling on August 15th is set to be a blockbuster, with the Vision.T and Vision.S concepts likely to take center stage, along with Mahindra’s new hybrid- and EV-capable architecture. Stay tuned as Mahindra redefines “freedom” for the next generation of Indian mobility. More

      The Carens Clavis EV will stand out as one of the few 7-seater electric vehicles in the mainstream segment, promising a certified driving range of up to 490 km on a full charge (MIDC cycle, 51.4kWh battery). This should help position it attractively against rivals, providing a strong value proposition for larger families looking to go electric.
      Kia Carens Clavis EV Teaser
      Teasers also showcase an upscale, tech-rich interior. There’s a dual-screen layout on the dashboard: one display dedicated to the digital driver cluster, and another to the infotainment system, offering a connected, modern cockpit feel. Other highlights include a floating-style center console with generous storage spaces, a panoramic sunroof adding to the airy feel of the cabin, and smart features like front ventilated seats, smart air purifier, and a premium BOSE 8-speaker system.
      The exterior styling carries forward the familiar Carens Clavis identity with its robust silhouette, but with EV-specific touches. These include connected LED DRL in the front, aero-optimized alloy wheels, a charging port mounted at the front, Star Map LED DRLs with integrated turn signals, connected LED tail lamps, and stylish skid plates.
      Kia Carens Clavis EV Teaser
      Safety and ADAS Tech on Board
      Safety and tech will also be a priority, with a comprehensive Level 2 ADAS suite featuring around 20 autonomous functions. Standard safety will include 6 airbags, ESC, hill-start assist, downhill brake control, vehicle stability management, and all-wheel disc brakes.
      Kia Carens Clavis EV Teaser
      Under the skin, the Carens Clavis EV is expected to borrow the powertrain from the Creta Electric, with two battery options (42 kWh and 51.4 kWh) and output figures of up to 171 PS on the higher variant. Fast-charging capability will allow 10-80% charge in under an hour using a 50kW DC charger, making it practical for daily commutes and long-distance travel alike.
      Kia Carens Clavis EV Teaser
      Kia is clearly betting big on the Carens Clavis EV to expand its EV portfolio and tap the growing demand for affordable yet feature-packed family electric vehicles in India. Pricing could start around Rs 15-16 lakh, giving it a first-mover advantage in its segment.
      The detailed specifications will be revealed on July 15, and deliveries could begin soon after. Stay tuned for more updates as Kia gets ready to electrify the Indian family car market with its Carens Clavis EV. More
