Karma Unveils 2027 Gyesera Grand Coupe
The plug-in hybrid grand coupe pairs a 28-kWh battery with a BMW-sourced three-cylinder generator engine.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Electric Vehicles
Karma has unveiled the 2027 Gyesera Grand Coupe, a plug-in hybrid with a long hood and curvaceous body. It produces 566 horsepower and 594 pound-feet of torque, outperforming its predecessor, the Revero, by 30 horsepower and 44 pound-feet.
Why it matters
The Gyesera shows how plug-in hybrid architecture is being applied to high-performance grand coupes rather than only mainstream models. Its aluminum spaceframe lineage from the Revero signals continuity in Karma's engineering approach.
The Gyesera has a curb weight of just over 5,000 pounds and a 28-kWh battery powering a pair of rear-axle electric motors. The manufacturer claims a 3.7-second 0-60 mph time, a 150 mph top speed, and 80 miles of electric-only range, with 360 miles total including the gas engine.
The players
Karma Automotive
Karma Automotive is a California-based luxury electric and plug-in hybrid automaker known for its Revero and Gyesera models.
The details
The Gyesera uses the fifth generation of Karma's plug-in hybrid system, in which a BMW turbocharged three-cylinder engine acts as a generator that maintains the battery charge. The body combines aluminum and carbon fiber and rides on an evolution of the aluminum spaceframe chassis used in the Revero.
Timeline
Model year 2027 is the designated launch year for the Gyesera Grand Coupe.
Roadmap
The Gyesera builds directly on the Revero's aluminum spaceframe chassis, carrying that architecture forward with a larger powertrain. It reflects the continued push by luxury plug-in hybrid makers to pair substantial electric range with conventional performance credentials.
Buyers considering a plug-in grand coupe will weigh the 80-mile electric-only range against the 360-mile combined range with the gas engine. The Gyesera's curb weight of just over 5,000 pounds is a practical consideration for daily efficiency and tire wear.
The takeaway
Plug-in hybrid grand coupes are increasingly built on established performance platforms, which can make high output and electric range available in a single vehicle. Buyers should compare claimed range and performance figures against independent testing once it becomes available.
