The Clavis EV is available with two distinct battery pack options, catering to a variety of driving preferences.

These versions are powered by an electric motor that generates 132 bhp and 255 Nm of torque.
For those seeking extended range, the higher-spec models feature a larger 51.4kWh battery, which increases the estimated range to 490 km. This variant also receives a more powerful motor producing 169 bhp, while maintaining the same torque output of 255 Nm.
Both versions come with four levels of regenerative braking, including an i-Pedal mode designed for one-pedal driving.

The interior of the Carens Clavis EV feels premium and mostly uses high-quality materials. What are the features of the Kia Carens Clavis EV?
The electric MPV boasts a 26.6-inch panoramic display, seamlessly integrating two separate screens—one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment system.
It comes loaded with over 90 connected features, along with a host of premium amenities. These include Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, one-touch tumble functionality for the second-row seats, ventilated front seats, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, an air purifier, and more. How has the design of the Kia Carens Clavis Electric changed when compared to the ICE version?
The overall design of the electric Carens Clavis closely mirrors its ICE (internal combustion engine) counterpart, with subtle EV-specific alterations. Notably, the charging port is integrated into the sealed front grille, and sleek LED daytime running lights extend across the front fascia. The rest of the exterior remains largely unchanged, likely to maximise interior space and maintain practicality. The brand has also added fog lamps which are not available on the ICE version.
Distinctive 17-inch aero-style alloy wheels give the electric variant a unique visual identity. Additionally, the model is equipped with an underbody cover and active aeroflaps for improved aerodynamics.

India fails to secure exemption from UK carbon tax in trade deal: GTRI
The UK government in December 2023 decided to implement its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) starting 2027 Press Trust of India New Delhi India was unable to secure an exemption from the UK's carbon tax in the free trade agreement, signed on Thursday, a move that will impact India's carbon-intensive exports to Britain, think tank GTRI said on Friday. The UK government in December 2023 decided to implement its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) starting 2027. By not securing a carve-out or exemption clause on CBAM (carbon border adjustment mechanism), India lost a vital opportunity to protect its carbon-intensive exports, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) Founder Ajay Srivastava said. "From January 2027, the UK can impose carbon taxes on Indian steel and aluminum, even as we grant UK goods duty-free access. That's a serious asymmetry. Expect the same treatment in India's trade agreement with the EU," he said. The GTRI in May stated that India's exports worth USD 775 million to the UK may be impacted due to Britain's decision to introduce a carbon tax on products such as iron and steel, aluminium, fertiliser, and cement, from 2027. The UK, after the European Union (EU), will be the second economy to implement CBAM. The tax will initially focus on sectors like iron, steel, aluminum, fertiliser, hydrogen, ceramics, glass, and cement. This tax could range from 14-24 per cent. India has earlier flagged serious concerns over this tax, terming it a trade barrier. An official has said that New Delhi has preserved its right to retaliate or rebalance concessions, if future measures impact domestic exports.

RBI Governor says FTA with UK will help India, bats for more such pacts with other nations
MUMBAI: Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday welcomed the signing of the free trade agreement with the UK, saying it will help multiple sectors of the Indian economy. Speaking at the FE Modern BFSI Summit here, Malhotra said multilateralism has "unfortunately" taken a back seat, and the country needs more such pacts (like the UK FTA) with countries and added that negotiations with the US are in advanced stages. "Hopefully, it (UK FTA) should help is the way going forward now, because unfortunately multilateralism seems to have taken a back seat," Malhotra said in the central bank's first comments on the trade deal with the UK signed in London. "It should help various sectors in our manufacturing as well as on the services side," Malhotra added. Malhotra said that given the current realities, where multilateralism has taken a back seat, it is necessary for India to have more such pacts with other countries. He also acknowledged that there are many more such pacts in the negotiation stage. India and the UK signed the FTA during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to the UK. The agreement has been in the making for many years now and will open up markets for both countries across goods and services. Meanwhile, Malhotra backed his US counterpart Jerome Powell for his work on upholding the Federal Reserve's independence, at a time when US President Donald Trump has gone public with his disagreement with its policies. "He (Powell) is doing a very good job. Maintaining the independence of the central bank is very important. I think he has done a commendable job," Malhotra said. On cryptocurrency regulations, Malhotra said the government-appointed panel to look into the issue in India will take into account the RBI's concerns. There is no work for a separate currency for the BRICS grouping, the RBI governor said, maintaining that like any other country, India is working on popularising its own currency, and the US dollar is here to stay. India has an agreement with the UAE and is also looking at some arrangement with Maldives on the rupee trade, he said. "The dollar is here, as you're all aware, it's going to be here, you know, for some time, for a longish time. It's because you need some universal cross-border currency," the RBI governor said. Meanwhile, he also appreciated the work done by the Ministry of Petroleum in managing the oil procurement despite the sanctions on Russia.

Oil Steadies on US Trade Deal Optimism, Diesel Tightness
Oil was steady on optimism over US trade talks ahead of a key deadline next week, and as tightness in diesel markets boosts sentiment. Brent crude was above $69 a barrel after adding 1% on Thursday, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $66. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said he was confident that his country could reach an agreement with the US before the Aug. 1 target date, while Brazil and Mexico looked to broaden trade ties. Meanwhile, diesel prices have soared, leading to steep premiums for niche crude grades that yield more of the fuel and injecting much-needed strength into a bogged-down oil market. The latest European Union measures restricting Russian energy imports have also added to the tightness, according to TotalEnergies SE. Crude has remained in a holding pattern this month, but is down for the year as increased supply from OPEC adds to concerns over a looming glut. The group will next meet on Aug. 3 to decide on production levels. On Thursday one member, Venezuela, was given a production reprieve by a US decision to let Chevron resume pumping oil in the country. 'The only strength right now is coming from the diesel markets,' said Florence Schmit, an analyst at Rabobank. 'The US government's backpaddling on curtailing Venezuelan oil supplies will only add to a relatively loose supply balance later this year.'
