Surprisingly, the company announced that the new product from Kia will be launched in July. This is likely to be the Kia Carens Clavis based EV, Kia's first India made electric vehicle. Crafted to shake up its segment, the new offering will harmoniously integrate sustainability with Kia's design prowess and sophisticated technology, carefully designed to address the changing mobility aspirations of Indian customers, the company said.
The new Kia Carens EV would feature a design that is akin to the Carens Clavis. There would be certain unique styling features as well. Being an electric vehicle, it would feature a closed off grille akin to the Kia EV9. Also, there would be redesigned front and rear bumpers, and the alloy wheels also would have new design. The spyshot indicates that it would have increased ground clearance and there would be new suspension design as well.
Kia Carens EV would be equipped with a myriad of features. It's reasonable to expect a digital instrument cluster and 12.25 touchscreen infotainment system like the Kia Carens Clavis along other expected features such as an air purifier, 360-degree surround camera, wireless phone charger.

The new Kia Carens EV is said to take the majority of its powertrain from the new Hyundai Creta EV. If that happens, it would take juice from a 45 kWh battery pack coupled with an electric motor that is used in the low-end Hyundai Kona EV worldwide. The Carens EV should receive a front axle-mounted electric motor. Kia does not yet announce any specification information regarding the EV. Nonetheless, anticipate that the Carens EV provides plenty of range on a single charge.

Korean beauty startups bet booming US demand outlasts tariff pain
HighlightsSouth Korean cosmetic startups are expanding their physical presence in the United States, leveraging their online success and the appeal of K-culture, despite potential tariffs. The U.S. market is becoming increasingly important for South Korean beauty brands, with Olive Young planning to open its first store in Los Angeles and several brands negotiating with major retailers like Costco and Ulta Beauty for distribution. Social media and viral marketing have significantly boosted the popularity of K-beauty products, with notable growth in online sales, while the long-term success of these brands will depend on their ability to increase physical store sales. Emboldened by roaring online success in the U.S., South Korea's cosmetic startups are expanding their bricks-and-mortar presence in the world's biggest consumer market, confident their mass appeal will offset the hit from tariffs. Brands like Tirtir, d'Alba, Torriden, and Beauty of Joseon are in talks with major retailers to stock their U.S. shelves, company executives have told Reuters. Korean beauty, or " K-beauty ", products are able to compete globally on quality, price and snappy marketing and have benefited greatly from the success of the Asian export giant's other consumer hits, namely its music, film and television. "K-culture - things like PSY in the past, BTS, and then Korean dramas and films like 'Parasite' - those really paved the way," Tirtir CEO An Byung-Jun said. "In the U.S. market, there was already growing interest in South Korea. Then Korean cosmetics entered the scene. The quality was good, but the prices were lower than the existing luxury brands like L'Oreal or Estee Lauder." Tirtir's profile shot up last year following the viral online success of its cushion foundation shades designed for dark skin. The product will be sold at some U.S. stores of Ulta Beauty this summer, An told Reuters, adding it aims to double U.S. sales this year. Retailers in the U.S. from Sephora and Ulta Beauty to Costco and Target are in talks with Korean cosmetics brands to launch sales in their physical stores, according to Reuters' interviews with a dozen people including cosmetics company CEOs, executives and industry experts. They also expect Korean brands to weather tariffs better than rivals thanks to higher margin business models. Many of them outsource production to contract manufacturers like Cosmax and Kolmar, dubbed the Foxconns of fast beauty, to keep costs down. South Korea overtook Germany to become the world's third-largest beauty product exporter after France and the U.S. in 2024. Four fifths of its $13 billion cosmetics output are for exports, which have predominantly been driven by e-commerce sales. Yuliet Mendosa, a 25-year-old visiting Seoul from America, is a fan of K-pop boy band BTS, which led her to greater interest in K-beauty products. "They go straight to the point to fix what you need to fix and your skin," she said at an Olive Young store. CHANGING LANDSCAPE The U.S. push comes at a tricky time for the world's big exporters with President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs unsettling global trade. But while the levies create uncertainty for Korea's beauty exporters, strong demand is expected to mitigate some of this, executives say. South Korea's dominant beauty retailer Olive Young plans to set up its first U.S. store in Los Angeles as early as this year, Jin Se-hoon, Executive Vice President of the company's global platform business, told Reuters. "The U.S., especially California, has by far the most customers for our global online shopping platform," Jin said. He said Washington's tariffs were a burden but not enough to hurt K-beauty's popularity and value-for-money proposition. Their U.S. expansion, despite tariffs, also seeks to sustain momentum after exports to China, the biggest overseas market for K-beauty, fell due to geopolitical tensions and competition. Skincare brand d'Alba, owned by d'Alba Global and known for its vegan mist serum and sunscreens, is in talks with Costco, Ulta Beauty and Target for retail distribution, the company said. LVMH's cosmetics chain Sephora plans to launch two new Korean brands Torriden and Beauty of Joseon this summer, according to a Sephora spokesperson. Costco, Target and Ulta did not respond to requests for comments. Tirtir's An said the baseline 10% tariff that the U.S. has already imposed is "endurable" although the planned 25% tariff on South Korean products due in July may force the company to raise prices "a little bit." Seoul, a major U.S. ally, is seeking tariff exemptions in trade talks with Washington. The Founders--the maker of Anua skincare products, which hit Ulta Beauty shelves this year--also have more room to absorb higher tariffs than rivals, its strategy team leader Jung Jun-ho said. The company posted an operating profit margin of over 30% last year. NICHE BRANDS South Korea replaced France as the biggest cosmetics exporter to the U.S. in 2024, according to official data, driven by online sales through Amazon. The top five Korean cosmetics brands in U.S. e-commerce--which include Beauty of Joseon, Medicube and Biodance--saw online sales grow 71% on average over the past two years, outperforming the overall U.S. market's 21% growth, according to Euromonitor data. The top five French brands--which include L'Oreal Paris, Dior and Lancome--posted 15% growth over that period. Social media has played a big part in Korea's success. "Nowadays a single viral TikTok video or influencer endorsement can turn a product into a global bestseller before it even launches outside Korea," said South Korea-based beauty marketer Odile Monod. But longer-term success will require increased physical store sales, said Jason Kim, CEO of cosmetics distributor Silicon2. There are already signs of growth plateauing for some companies, such as startup COSRX, now part of Korean cosmetics giant AmorePacific, as competition heats up and cheaper alternatives emerge, analysts said. For now, investors remain upbeat about Korean potential, with shares of d'Alba Global more than doubling since their debut last month. "The K-beauty trend is strong," Silicon2's Kim said. "But indie brands will face challenges too."

Rupee closes stronger despite headwinds; ends 10 paise higher at 85.80/$
The Indian Rupee regained some ground lost in the previous session, even as the dollar index and oil prices remained on the higher side. The domestic currency appreciated 10 paise to end at 85.80 against the greenback, after closing at 85.90 on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. The local unit slipped below the 86 mark during Wednesday's session, weighed down by dollar demand from foreign investors. The currency was down by about 0.4 per cent this year so far, while regional peers such as the Korean won, Thai baht, and Malaysian ringgit have gained from the dollar weakening, according to Reuters. During the day, Asian currencies were mostly higher. The rupee has been the worst-performing currency this year, despite a 7.5 per cent GDP growth in the last quarter, taking full-year growth to 6.5 per cent, according to Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. Meanwhile, all eyes will now be on the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI 's) six-member monetary policy committee (MPC), which began its meeting on Wednesday and is expected to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 5.75 per cent. The committee is scheduled to announce its policy review on Friday. The dollar index was marginally higher after data showed hiring growth fell to the slowest pace in two years. Private-sector payrolls increased by 37,000 last month, according to ADP Research, as calls for rate cuts by the Federal Reserve grew. The possibility of a rate cut in September has risen up to 75 per cent, per CME's FedWatch tool. Interest rate futures are pricing in muted odds of Fed cuts in June and July, as per reports. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve's 'Beige Book' report on the economic conditions noted that "economic activity has declined slightly since the previous report," released on April 23. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.07 per cent at 98.86.

Rupee trades slightly higher amid weak oil prices; opens at 85.87/$
The Indian rupee traded slightly higher on Thursday, after the currency slumped past the 86 mark in the previous session, weighed by dollar demand from foreign investors. The domestic currency appreciated 3 paise to open at 85.87 against the greenback, after closing at 85.90 on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. The rupee was down 0.3 per cent this year so far, while regional peers such as the Korean won, Thai baht, and Malaysian ringgit have gained from the dollar weakening, according to Reuters. The rupee has been the worst-performing currency this year, despite a 7.5 per cent GDP growth in the last quarter, taking full-year growth to 6.5 per cent, according to Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. It fell by 0.3 per cent yesterday amid persistent dollar demand from foreign portfolio investors, oil companies, and importers, touching 86.0325 as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) continued to intervene by selling dollars to limit the depreciation, he added. The rupee is expected to open at 85.79, just 11 paise stronger than the previous close, despite a decline in the dollar index and gains in Asian currencies, Bhansali said. "It is likely to trade in a range of 85.50 to 86.25 during the day, with the market closely watching the RBI's actions." The dollar index was slightly higher as calls for rate cuts by the Federal Reserve grew after data showed hiring growth fell to the slowest pace in two years. Private-sector payrolls increased by 37,000 last month, according to ADP Research. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve's 'Beige Book' report on the economic conditions noted that "economic activity has declined slightly since the previous report," released on April 23.

The committee is scheduled to announce its policy review on Friday. In commodities, crude oil prices fell during the session as Saudi Arabia hinted at another major production increase. Brent crude price was down 0.17 per cent to $64.75 per barrel, while WTI crude prices were 0.32 per cent higher at 62.65, as of 9:10 AM IST.
