• Voice-assisted vehicle interaction for convenience and safety
• Smart digital instrument clusters with real-time data
• Connected mobility features for performance monitoring and diagnostics
• Enhanced infotainment applications
• Telematics and cloud-based analytics for fleet operators

These features will be available across all upcoming KWV electric models. This ensures a consistent digital experience for private buyers as well as commercial users.

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Kinetic Watts & Volts, said, “Kinetic has always stood for democratizing mobility and innovation. With this partnership, we now extend that commitment into digital mobility, bringing voice assistance and connected features to everyday riders, so technology becomes truly intuitive and useful. This collaboration also stays true to our motto of ‘Easy’ a philosophy already visible in practical features such as Easy Key, Easy Flip and Easy Charge; and now strengthened with seamless digital experiences that simplify ownership for our customers.”

Mr. Ashish Lodha, President at Jio Platforms, also highlighted that, “Our partnership with Kinetic exemplifies our vision to build a truly connected automotive ecosystem in India.
