Exclusive design elements like the “Backslash” signature on the fenders and the “Comet Line” hood vent enhance its aesthetic appeal. The vehicle rides on 22-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Karma-specific Pirelli tires, optimizing both style and performance. The “Target Acquisition” lighting, first introduced on the Karma Kaveya, makes its production debut, reinforcing the Gyesera’s unmistakable identity.
Advanced Technology Integration
Karma’s Intelligent Product Development System (IPDS), utilizing “digital twin” technology, has streamlined the Gyesera’s development, blending automotive tradition with tech industry innovation. The interior features a Qualcomm 8155-based Cockpit Information Controller (CIC) and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) with intuitive “Target Acquisition” graphics that adapt to driving modes. The cabin prioritizes a driver-centric experience, with Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and Master & Dynamic audio tuning enhancing connectivity and luxury. OTA capabilities with Anticipatory Service Diagnostics ensure proactive maintenance, keeping drivers ahead of service needs.
Luxurious and Spacious Interior
Inside, the Gyesera offers a refined cabin with Moondust leather and Atmosphere Blue accents. The sleek design integrates slimline metal trim and a minimalist center console, where the backlit “Start” button takes center stage. A wireless device charger and USB-C connections add convenience, while new lightweight front seats increase rear legroom by 15%, making the four-seater more comfortable for all passengers.

Under the leadership of President Marques McCammon, Karma Automotive is redefining luxury mobility. The Gyesera, alongside the upcoming Amaris GT Coupé priced at approximately $200,000 USD, reflects Karma’s commitment to blending high-performance powertrains with software-driven technologies.
