Karma Automotive Reveals the Gyesera Luxury Plug-In Hybrid at The Quail

Karma Automotive revealed the new Gyesera during Monterey Car Week 2025 at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering on Aug. 15. Gyesera is the successor to the Karma Revero, which pioneered the plug-in luxury hybrid segment over a decade ago, company officials stated in a press release. Utilizing an evolution of the company’s all-aluminum space-frame architecture, Gyesera adopts a new, weight-saving body comprised exclusively of aluminum and carbon reinforced composites and introduces a reimagined interior aesthetic and functionality.

First shown in March 2024, Gyesera has served as the testbed for phase one of Karma’s new Intelligent Product Development System (IPDS), made possible by using “digital twin” concepts and design methodology adapted from the tech industry, noted the release. The approach combines conventional automobile development with a cloud-integrated virtual development, which is correlated to real-world product usage.

“The goal is to blend the best approaches of the established automotive industry with the innovation of the tech sector to make our products better, our cycle times shorter, our products more robust and our business healthier,” says Marques McCammon, president & chief executive, Karma Automotive. “We are not just aiming to make new kinds of products; we are aiming to make a new kind of product company.”

Gyesera will be priced from approximately $165,000, with production beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. Next year, Gyesera will be joined by its stablemate, the Karma Amaris GT Coupé, which will be priced from approximately $200,000.

Performance & Design of the Karma Gyesera

Gyesera features the latest evolution of Karma Automotive’s Hybrid EREV powertrain, delivering 566 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque, accelerating Gyesera from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds, half a second quicker than Revero.

“Faster, lighter, and more technologically advanced than its predecessor, Gyesera draws upon the revolutionary spirit of the Revero while creating an entirely new identity unlike anything else on the market today,” says McCammon. “Gyesera is the first page in the new chapter of Karma vehicles, and together with the upcoming Amaris GT Coupé, will exemplify how Karma’s vision for modern luxury connects next-generation high-powertrains and chassis systems with software technologies to create pure and emotional driving experiences.”

The Gyesera is a low-slung, 4-place Grande Coupé constructed with aluminum and extensive use of lightweight carbon reinforced composites on the hood, decklid, rockers, diffusers, fenders and roof. Its low nose, purposeful front splitter and radiator opening create a wide stance. Karma-specific Pirelli tires (265/40 rear, 245/40 front) wrap all-new, lightweight forged billet aluminum 22-inch wheels.

Piano black rocker inserts track up into the front fenders to create the new Karma signature “Backslash”—one of a number of design features exclusive to Karma’s new brand aesthetic—which frames the “Gyesera” model designation. Karma’s signature “Target Acquisition” exterior lighting, first seen on the Karma Kaveya super-coupé, makes its production debut on the hood, lower fascia and daytime running lights.

The “Comet Line” plan view graphic, inspired by a comet as it blazes across the evening sky, is rendered in the arc of the hood vent; this vent increases cold airflow to the Gyesera’s engine for enhanced performance while also heightening aural theater under sporty driving conditions. At the rear, the full-width piano black diffuser completes Gyesera’s grounded, athletic stance.
