The Kia Carens EV has been spotted testing in India for the first time ahead of its anticipated launch. Unlike the Kia EV6 and EV9, which use a dedicated electric skateboard platform, the Carens EV will utilise the same foundation as the current petrol and diesel models.

The electrified Carens will arrive on Indian shores by 2025. The EV, which might be exported from India to other growing markets, will be Kia's first locally manufactured car.
