December 18, 2024, Irvine, Calif – The 3rd Generation Karma Revero, the strikingly beautiful and innovative sport sedan that is the marketplace pioneer of the Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology now being adopted by the broader automotive industry, today makes its triumphant return to American and European roads.
With Karma’s EREV technology, drivers have the freedom to choose from either gasoline or electric power, delivering the best of both worlds. Rather than depending on the availability of public chargers while on their journey, Revero owners can simply refuel should that be more convenient.
Deliveries of the 3rd Generation Karma Revero are now underway, with a base MSRP of $123,100 (USD) in the United States, and €174,463 in Europe. Further, Karma Automotive announces that the new Revero’s ultra-exclusive, performance-focused stablemate, the Karma Invictus, will be priced with a base MSRP of $185,000 (USD) in the United States, and €244,541 in Europe upon introduction in Q1 2025. The new Revero will be limited to 160 examples globally, with Karma Invictus held to only 30 examples. Both vehicles are covered with a 4-year, unlimited mile manufacturer’s warranty which includes Roadside Assistance and access to Karma’s patented Karma Cloud Service product suite.
The new Revero is the marketplace leader in EREV powertrain performance, delivering the benefits of an electric vehicle – instantaneous torque, driver-adjustable regenerative braking, and up to 80 miles of zero-carbon driving range – paired with the confidence-inspiring cruising range of up to 360 miles, replenishable in minutes at any gas station. When married with the all-new Karma Edge Over-the-Air Update and Vehicle Data Management System, owners enjoy real-time concierge support and downloadable vehicle options, now expanded with new features including “Tune” by luxury audio brand Master & Dynamic, premiering for the first time in any production vehicle (available Spring, 2025).
The 3rd Generation Karma Revero brings these bona fides together with a fastidious attention to quality and detail befitting this landmark automobile of which just 160 examples will be available globally. This limited quantity further ensures an unparalleled ownership experience, and Revero’s jaw-droppingly sinuous, low-slung profile – its styling cues subtly evolved through Karma’s signature design aesthetic – make it the standout in any crowd.
“The automotive market has become a sea of sameness, yet a great automobile should reflect freedom of identity, and the freedom to express who you are,” says Marques McCammon, President, Karma Automotive. “The 3rd Generation Karma Revero fully realizes that mission, setting forth beauty, technology, and sheer emotion together in one stunning, Avant-garde automobile that needs not apologize for anything.”
“Our approach to the 3rd Generation Karma Revero and Karma Invictus sets the blueprint for Karma Automotive’s models to come, creating low-volume, driver-focused vehicles which will re-establish the USA as the source for the finest vehicles in the world,” McCammon continues.
The 3rd Generation Karma Revero’s EREV powertrain consists of a 28 kWh HV battery pack together with a 1.5-liter turbocharged powerplant mated to an onboard generator providing electricity to the 400 kW 2-motor propulsion system, offering a compelling combination of drivability, performance, and efficiency. This setup provides 536 horsepower and 550 lb/ft of torque, delivering acceleration to 60mph in 4.5 seconds with up to 80 miles of pure electric range, and 360 miles of total range replenishable in minutes at any gas station. The new Revero is manufactured at Karma Automotive’s KICC assembly facility in Moreno Valley, California.
The recently-revealed Karma Invictus is the first vehicle from the exclusive Karma Reserve line of vehicles. Accelerating from 0-60mph in an estimated 3.97 seconds, this performance-focused expression of the 3rd Generation Revero turns-up the wick in every dimension with unique carbon fiber bodywork, elevated interior appointments and driver-focused performance upgrades underpinned by Karma’s proven and versatile EREV hybrid powertrain. Just 30 examples of Karma Invictus will be available worldwide, with deliveries beginning Q1 2025.
3rd Generation Karma Revero: Features In-Depth
A Full Complement of Safety & Convenience Features
The 3rd Generation Karma Revero arrives with an impressive array of safety and convenience features as standard equipment, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, 360-degree Surround View Camera System, Parking Distance Monitoring and Curve-Adaptive LED Headlamps. Optional KarPilot Assist adds an Advanced Driver Assistance System with Adaptive Cruise Control including Stop & Go feature, and Lane Keep Support with hands-off detection warning and haptic steering wheel response for unintended lane departure.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel features haptic controls for audio and phone functions, cameras, driving modes, Adaptive Cruise Control (optional), and the 3-mode regenerative braking system. Revero also has heated power side-view mirrors, eight airbags, an anti-theft alarm, Over-the-Air (OTA) remote diagnostics and software update functionality, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated Karma mobile app support.
The Karma app functions as a controller offering drivers access to the vehicle’s location, remote preconditioning, door lock-unlock, charge scheduling, vehicle health reporting, and an Augmented Reality (AR) user manual.
The EREV Powertrain: Exhilarating Performance and Zero Range Anxiety
The 3rd Generation Karma Revero’s EREV powertrain consists of a 28 kWh HV battery pack together with a 1.5-liter turbocharged powerplant mated to an onboard generator providing electricity to the 400 kW 2-motor propulsion system, offering a compelling combination of drivability, performance, and efficiency. This setup provides 536 horsepower and 550 lb/ft of torque, delivering acceleration to 60mph in 4.5 seconds with up to 80 miles of pure electric range, and 360 miles of total range replenishable in minutes at any gas station.
A transversely mounted, twin-motor, Rear Drive Module (RDM) incorporates torque- vectoring. Inverters developed in-house by Karma’s powertrain team convert DC current from the battery pack and generator to power the AC drive motors; and to capture AC power from the regenerative braking system to recharge the battery pack. A single-speed gearbox sits between the twin motors. Because the inverters are integrated with the drive motors, the RDM is an extremely compact and lightweight package.
3 driving modes are available aboard Revero. In ‘Stealth,” the vehicle is powered by the battery only. In ‘Sustain,” the generator creates electricity to power the vehicle. In “‘Sport,” power is provided to the traction motors from both the battery and the generator. An active exhaust system delivers a throaty, purposeful note when driving in “Sport” mode.
Seductive Beauty and Technology
Revero is available in a range of California-themed exterior colors: Sirius Silver, Borrego Black, Balboa Blue, Bodega Bay Blue, Pacifico Grey, Silver Fog, and Napa Red. A black-out option replacing chrome accents, and exterior carbon fiber elements are also optionally available.
The Revero comes standard with 21-inch Cascade Silver wheels shod with 245/40R21 tires Front, and 275/40R21 Rear, with Brembo calipers in Slate mated to either solid disks as standard, or cross-drilled discs as optional equipment. Optional caliper colors are Burnt Orange, Orange, Silver, Yellow, Red and Blue.
Karma vehicles have a long and well-established reputation for design excellence, and the 3rd Generation Revero’s interior is no exception, trimmed in sumptuous Bridge of Weir leather available in 5 colors: Palisades, Crystal Cove, Rebel Lava, Rebel Reef, and Rebel Ceramic. Carbon Fiber interior accents are standard equipment.
High-resolution displays serve as the information hubs, managing vehicle systems including steering feel, accelerator pedal response, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, cabin climate and heated/ventilated seats (front), entertainment, and camera displays.
Upon accessing the “Energy” page via the center-mounted touchscreen, the driver can enter “Track Mode” to view statistics including energy flow, tire pressure and temperature, speed, torque, lap times, g-forces, energy usage, battery function, engine temperature, fuel usage, and driving history. The “Driver Stats” page stores achievements for driving efficiency and performance. The “Energy History” page provides current and historical energy usage, where energy-conscious drivers can monitor the vehicle’s efficiency over various trips and receive an energy efficiency score as well as displaying a multitude of data points.
