The 3rd Generation Karma Revero, a striking evolution of extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) technology, makes its reentry onto American and European roads with all the fanfare of a pioneer reclaiming its mantle. Sleek, sinuous, and audaciously designed, the Revero stands as a testament to what the automotive industry could aspire to—melding the power of gasoline with the promise of electrification in a singularly elegant package.
At its core, the Revero embodies a pragmatic romance: the ability to traverse up to 80 miles in zero-carbon electric silence or extend the journey up to 360 miles with a quick stop at any gas station. This duality eliminates the electric car’s Achilles’ heel—range anxiety—allowing drivers freedom without compromise. And for those seeking a rarer thrill, Karma’s Invictus, the Revero’s ultra-exclusive performance sibling, amps up every dimension of the experience with an even bolder statement: only 30 examples will exist.
Exclusivity Meets Innovation
With a base price of $123,100 in the U.S. (€174,463 in Europe), the Revero is not just a car but an artifact of ambition. Karma Automotive ensures that its beauty isn’t just skin deep, delivering 536 horsepower, 550 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-to-60 time of 4.5 seconds via its 400-kW dual-motor propulsion system. A 28-kWh battery paired with a turbocharged generator bridges the electric and gasoline realms seamlessly, all housed within the low-slung, sculpted frame that turns heads before the engine even starts.
Yet the Revero is not content to rest on aesthetic laurels. Its advanced Karma Edge over-the-air system introduces features like downloadable options and “Tune” by luxury audio brand Master & Dynamic, debuting in Spring 2025. Owners are promised not just a car but a perpetually evolving experience.
The Avant-Garde of EREV
Karma’s approach to the Revero—and its $185,000 Invictus sibling (€244,541 in Europe)—signals a pivot for the brand. By embracing low-volume production, each car becomes an act of craftsmanship rather than commerce. Only 160 Reveros will roll off the production line in Moreno Valley, California, underscoring their exclusivity.
“The automotive market has become a sea of sameness,” says Marques McCammon, President of Karma Automotive. “The 3rd Generation Karma Revero fully realizes a mission of freedom—freedom of identity and expression. This automobile is beauty, technology, and sheer emotion woven together unapologetically.”
The Invictus, from the exclusive Karma Reserve line, doubles down on this ethos with carbon-fiber bodywork, bespoke interiors, and a blistering 0-to-60 time of 3.97 seconds, a performance showcase powered by Karma’s signature EREV system.
A Blueprint for Tomorrow
As the industry races toward electrification, Karma positions itself as a provocateur—a company that refuses to compromise performance, range, or beauty for sustainability. The Revero and Invictus are not just cars; they are declarations, visions of an automotive future where artistry and engineering coexist.
Karma’s triumphant return to CES 2025 signals not just the launch of two extraordinary vehicles but a larger message: in the electric era, excellence will not merely be measured in kilowatts but in the emotions a car can evoke.
