KARMA KAVEYA IS DEFINING LUXURY THROUGH INNOVATION
The Karma Kaveya is a limited-production luxury electric hypercar from California-based Karma Automotive, designed to deliver over 1,000 horsepower, a 250-mile range, and 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds. More than a performance benchmark, the Kaveya is conceived as a complete ownership experience: every surface, every material choice, and every specification exists to serve a singular vision of ultra-luxury defined by innovation rather than convention.
What Is the Karma Kaveya?
Karma Automotive developed the Kaveya not as a specification exercise but as a statement of intent. The name itself reflects the aspiration: a word chosen to convey sublime perfection. The result is a grand tourer with scissor doors, a low-slung silhouette built around a 120 kWh battery, and a chassis constructed from stereolithographic aluminium and carbon fibre. The battery is mounted behind the driver and passenger, replicating the physical feel and weight distribution of a mid-engine sports car while providing the range and packaging efficiency of a modern EV.
Karma's approach to the exterior is deliberate and layered. Active aerodynamics including a rear wing work alongside functional air intakes on the lower front fascia and along the flanks. Wiper blades retract behind a panel for cleaner aesthetics, and the headlights are concealed behind covers that pay homage to the pop-up units of the 1980s and 1990s. Every visual element either serves a performance function or carries a deliberate design reference.
Karma Kaveya Performance Specs: Power, Range and Speed
Karma offers two powertrain configurations for the Kaveya. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive variant produces 536 horsepower from a dual-motor setup and is scheduled for 2025 deliveries. The flagship tri-motor all-wheel-drive configuration raises output to 1,180 horsepower and targets 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds, with a top speed approaching 180 mph. The 2026 production slot holds this variant.
Both configurations share the 120 kWh battery, the same capacity found in the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Battista. Karma rates the range at over 250 miles, with DC fast charging capable of taking the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 45 minutes. The starting price sits at around $375,000, positioning the Kaveya firmly in the ultra-luxury electric segment.

Interior Design: Luxury Crafted Around the Driver
The Kaveya's interior follows a philosophy of restrained sophistication. Sharp, origami-inspired creases and folds define the surfaces without tipping into fussiness. The battery placement behind the seats creates a cockpit-like environment where occupants sit low, close to the road, with the highest point of the car kept as far rearward as possible to enhance the sense of performance and proportion.
Karma describes the Kaveya ownership experience as one in which every detail is considered and every choice is inspired, from the materials selected for tactile contact points to the way information is presented to the driver. The accentuated bodyside surfacing that defines the exterior flows into the interior language, giving the cabin a coherent identity rather than a series of disconnected design gestures.
Exclusivity: A Limited-Production Hypercar
Karma is producing the Kaveya in strictly limited numbers. The exclusivity is not incidental: it is part of the car's identity. Owning a Kaveya places the buyer in a very small group, and Karma has designed the entire ownership experience around that reality, from the personalisation process through to delivery. The Kaveya is positioned as more than a vehicle. It is a statement of access to a particular kind of innovation-led luxury that very few will experience.
