Karma Amaris, The World's First Hybrid EREV Luxury Coupé, Takes Center Stage at Monterey Car Week
With Blistering Performance and Jaw-dropping Design, Amaris is Anticipated to Begin Production in Q4 2026 IRVINE, Calif, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a preview of its exterior design earlier this spring, the MY2027 Karma Amaris will be fully-revealed including its interior cabin during Monterey Car Week at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, on Friday, August 15; and Sunday, August 17, when Amaris will grace the famed Concept Lawn at the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. As the world's first Hybrid EREV performance luxury coupé, Amaris fully delivers the exceptional driving dynamics and sheer speed promised by its purposeful stance and dramatic proportions. Packing 708 horsepower and 676 ft. lbs. torque, Amaris will launch from 0-60mph in less than 3.5 seconds, continuing-on to an electronically governed top speed of 165mph. Its Hybrid EREV powertrain consists of two electric motors driving the rear wheels, powered by a 41.5 kw/H battery which is maintained by a 4-Cylinder turbocharged ICE generator. This Hybrid EREV powertrain delivers over 100 miles of electric-only driving range, and over 400 miles of combined driving range (electric and ICE). Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You The Insurance Savings You Expect Great Rates and Award-Winning Service Amaris begins production in Q4/2026, and will be priced from approximately $200,000USD. "Amaris delivers all the joys and indulgences of a thoroughbred performance coupe – staggering pace, exuberant style and opulent interior appointments – balanced with an ultra-low emissions Hybrid EREV powertrain which offers the freedom to refuel with gasoline or recharge with electricity, whichever is more convenient," says Marques McCammon, President and Chief Executive, Karma Automotive. "Amaris delivers pure desire paired with eco-conscious driving like no other vehicle in the world." The powerful yet timelessly elegant carbon fiber and aluminum body of the Amaris, specified for Monterey Car Week in Solar Blaze Red paintwork, features the latest evolution of the Comet Line design language first established with the upcoming Karma Kaveya super-coupe. With Amaris, the Comet Line originates in the sculpted cowl aft of the nose, continuing rearward in an arc across the sides of the hood, descending rearward to amplify the wide, aggressive rear track. 22" Constellation wheels, crafted in forged aluminum, fully-establish the purposeful, fluid stance of the Amaris. The voluptuous clamshell hood – incorporating Karma's Target Lighting signature – creates a seamless transition and visual flow to the front fenders. The Backslash design element punctuates the space between the front wheels and the "swan doors," which gracefully pivot upwards to dramatic effect. Its sleek rear glass profile concludes with an aero pass-through spoiler that reduces aerodynamic drag while creating rear axle downforce for increased stability at high speeds. The Americana-inspired side exhaust further signals performance and capability. Inside, the cabin of the Amaris is specified in Crimson Orbit leather and suede, with carbon fiber and piano black accents. Like the Kaveya super-coupe, Amaris features an electro-chromatically adjustable full glass roof; and "orbits" which visually define the driver and passenger environments. Amaris is shown in its 2-seater configuration, with its rear compartment sculpted to accommodate travel bags. Carbon fiber adorns the doors, center console and rear support brace, creating the visual effect of an exposed carbon fiber monocoque with floating leather and suede panels. The door panel forms are drawn forward, descending from shoulder height towards the footwells, creating a sense of speed and acceleration. This same dynamic effect applies to the center console, which houses the gear selector and—concealed beneath a hinged leather ignition cover to further heighten anticipation for the driving experience ahead—the "Start" button. Following Karma Automotive's "reductionary" approach, non-essential features remain hidden until called upon, including the co-pilot's display which illuminates once the passenger is seated; and cupholders that are concealed by the wireless phone charger until it is retracted with a gentle touch. The interior environment also hides atmospheric lighting that can be adjusted by the user, or changes according to the drive mode selected.

Where Craft Meets Confidence: Amaris Debuts in Hyderabad
As one steps into the 2,750 sqft flagship boutique, they are greeted by the iconic 'Amaris Blue Wall'. Amaris — the contemporary fine jewellery brand known for redefining modern Indian luxury — celebrates a significant milestone this year: a decade since its founding in New Delhi. Marking this occasion, the brand unveils its first flagship boutique outside the capital, located in the heart of Hyderabad's Banjara Hills. Founded by Prerna Rajpal, Amaris has cultivated a distinct identity over the past 10 years, fusing bold aesthetics with heritage craftsmanship and storytelling. The result is jewellery that resonates with today's confident, expressive woman. The Hyderabad boutique is more than just a retail space; it's a fully immersive experience, designed to embody the spirit of the Amaris woman — modern, unapologetic, and uniquely herself. To commemorate the launch, Amaris introduces 'Hyphen' — a capsule collection available exclusively at the Hyderabad boutique. Drawing inspiration from the convergence of worlds — North and South, tradition and innovation — the collection showcases Zambian emeralds, kunzites, tourmalines, and F-G colour diamonds. Each piece strikes a balance between drama and finesse. In an exclusive conversation with CE, Prerna Rajpal shares insights on all things bling, Hyderabad's enduring love for luxury jewellery, and more. Excerpts What inspired you to bring Amaris to Hyderabad? We've been coming to Hyderabad for almost three years for exhibitions and pop-ups. The love we've received from the city has been tremendous. I also noticed a gap in the market — while there are traditional jewellers, their pieces are usually for lockers and big celebrations. I felt there was space for jewellery that moves with you — designed for the modern woman, whether she's going to work, brunch, or dinner. After three years of building a presence, we decided to set up a permanent establishment here. How did you choose this specific location on Road Number 10, Banjara Hills? We've always aligned ourselves with big designers because designer clothing and designer jewellery go hand in hand. Road Number 10 in Banjara Hills is a hub for luxury fashion, making it a perfect fit for Amaris. After several trips and exploring options, this location just felt right.

Automaker unveils next-gen EV designed to eliminate major driving concern: 'We're building a range of vehicles'
Karma Automotive has officially unveiled the Amaris, a powerful extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) that's set to redefine expectations for sustainable luxury vehicles. According to Motor1, the vehicle's hybrid powertrain comes with a gas generator and a four-cylinder range extender to recharge its battery. These features help address concerns about battery-related limitations and make the EV reach an estimated top speed of 165 miles per hour. By integrating a range-extending engine, Karma Automotive aims to offer a balance between performance and practicality. Unlike traditional battery electric vehicles, the Amaris's range extender allows it to travel longer distances without solely relying on charging stations. This design helps address one of the most common concerns among consumers hesitant about EV adoption: range anxiety. It also offers a cleaner alternative to conventional gas-powered cars. The Amaris is expected to enter production in the fourth quarter of 2026. "With our gorgeous Amaris 2-door coupe and soon-to-be-revealed Gyesera 4-door, we're building a range of vehicles that will deliver exceptional EV torque and performance paired with worry-free cruising range, a combination that only EREV can deliver," shared Marques McCammon, president of Karma Automotive, in a press release. Beyond performance, EVs offer several advantages over gas-powered vehicles, including lower maintenance costs and reduced pollution. A study from MIT found that gasoline-powered cars release an average of 350 grams of carbon pollution per mile driven over their lifetimes. Meanwhile, EVs, which operate on batteries charged through the average U.S. power grid, reduce that figure to around 200 grams per mile. Moreover, a Reuters report found that with a Tesla Model 3, you only need to drive 13,500 miles to make up for the environmental costs associated with manufacturing gas-powered vehicles. Note that figures will vary depending on the EV's power source, if it's being recharged using power generated from coal or eco-friendly resources. As more automakers explore electrification, concerns about battery production's environmental impact still persist. Mining minerals like lithium and cobalt for EV batteries does have a significant environmental impact. However, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, studies show that the overall carbon pollution from EVs remains significantly lower than that of gasoline-powered cars. The transition to greener energy sources aligns with growing consumer interest in eco-friendly practices. If you were going to purchase an EV, which of these factors would be most important to you?
