Kia Clavis Spied Again – Reveals Front And Rear LED Lights | V3Cars

Kia Clavis To Get EV9-Inspired Design

The latest images of the Kia Clavis reveal its dual LED headlamps, vertical LED DRLs and vertical LED tail lights. Kia have used the EV9’s LED lighting elements as a design inspiration for the Clavis. The vertical LED DRLs at the front also double as turn indicators. While the test mule features heavy camouflage, we can see hints of a clamshell bonnet in the new spy shots. The upright front, windshield and black body cladding should give the production-spec Kia Clavis a rugged appeal.

Spy shots from before have revealed the upcoming Kia SUVs blacked-out A- and C-pillars, ORVMs with integrated turn indicators, thick body cladding, roof rails, and aero-optimised 6-spoke alloy wheels. Other interesting design details include slight kinks on the front and rear windowline, which reminds us of the discontinued Skoda Yeti.

Kia Clavis Expected Price

The Kia Clavis is likely to make its debut by late 2024 and go on sale in early 2025. Since it is expected to take on the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch, expect a similar price tag as these small SUVs. Currently, the Hyundai Exter is priced from Rs. 6.0 lakh to Rs. 10.15 lakh, while the Tata Punch is priced similarly, from Rs. 6.0 lakh to Rs. 10.10 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The Kia Clavis could be priced at a small premium over the Hyundai Exter as it is expected to offer more premium features as standard.
