Karma Automotive Launches Amaris, EREVs, and SDVs
In a grand gathering of technology, education, business, and civic leaders, Karma Automotive recently hosted its annual Create Karma 2025 event in Los Angeles. The main focus of the event was the world premiere of the Karma Amaris, an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) performance coupe.
The Amaris, a two-door coupe, was unveiled at Create Karma 2025, embodying Karma's vision of uncompromising performance and design. The vehicle sets a new standard in high-performance and sustainable luxury automobiles, incorporating a refined EREV powertrain featuring a turbocharged four-cylinder internal combustion engine generator.
Karma Automotive partnered with Intel Automotive to advance software-defined vehicles (SDV) technology, a move that sets the stage for a potential revolution in vehicle manufacturing and driving experience. The Amaris is a testament to this partnership, showcasing the benefits of SDVs.
In line with its forward-thinking philosophy, Karma Automotive structured the program around three core themes: Community, Technology, and Experience. Each theme represents a pillar of the company's strategic vision. The event also served as a platform to foster the next generation of automotive professionals.
Karma Automotive is expanding its presence in the ultra-luxury vehicle market, as evident from the European premiere of the MY2028 Karma Kaveya super coupe at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This event highlights the company's focus on high-performance electric vehicles.
The Karma Kaveya is underpinned by Software-Defined Vehicle Architecture (SDVA), developed in partnership with leading technology companies. This suggests a strong focus on technological innovation and integration in their vehicles. Karma is also developing modular engine and frame platforms, a strategy aimed at improving efficiency and reducing complexity.
Karma Automotive aims to leave a lasting impact on the Southern California community through its initiatives and investments in workforce development. The company introduced the Clean Transportation Technology Collaborative, a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at accelerating workforce development and job creation in the automotive, software, and clean energy sectors.
The initiative partners with institutions such as CerraCap Venture, Inland Southern California United Way, Orange County Business Council, San Diego State University, Sustain SoCal, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside. The goal is to equip Southern California's youth with the skills required for the industry's future.
Pricing details for the Karma Amaris will be announced at a later date. With an expected production date in late 2026 and a projected acceleration from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, reaching an estimated top speed of 165 mph, the Amaris is poised to make a significant mark in the luxury electric vehicle market.
