California-based Karma Automotive has previewed its first all-electric models, the Kaveya coupe and Gyesera sedan.<\/p>\n
The former is expected to become the brand’s flagship when it goes on sale in the fourth quarter of 2025 while the latter is projected to debut a year earlier \u2013 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Here’s what you need to know about Karma’s first BEVs.<\/p>\n
Both vehicles are part of Karma’s relaunch and rebranding as a more upmarket EV brand that will have an ‘ultra-luxury vehicle lineup.’<\/p>\n
Described as an ‘EV super coupe GT,’ the Karma Kaveya features a low-slung body with butterfly doors, sporty bumpers, a low, curved glasshouse, slim headlights and taillights, and a deployable rear spoiler.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 187.7-inch long vehicle is said to feature aluminum spaceframe construction with carbon fiber body panels and aluminum SLA (Short-Long Arm, or double wishbone) suspension. Despite that, it’s not that light at an estimated curb weight of 5,300 pounds.<\/p>\n
The Kaveya will be available in two versions with more than 250 miles of range: a 536-horsepower rear-wheel-drive variant expected to debut in Q4 2025, and a 1,180-horsepower all-wheel-drive variant expected to arrive a year after that.<\/p>\n
Thanks also to a combined torque of 1,270 pound-feet, the Karma Kaveya flagship targets a 0-60 miles per hour acceleration in under 3 seconds and a top speed of over 180 miles per hour.<\/p>\n
Both Kaveya variants will be powered by a 120-kilowatt-hour battery pack enabling a charging time of 45 minutes from 10 to 80 percent state of charge.<\/p>\n
“This is Karma’s flagship, setting our corporate direction for the future,” said Marques McCammon, Karma President. That’s about all that Karma was willing to disclose about the Kaveya so far.<\/p>\n
