SDVA (Software-Defined Vehicle Architecture), jointly developed by Karma Automotive and Intel, showcases the possibilities of next-generation electric vehicles through the 2026 Kabeya super coupe.
🟦 Karma Automotive and Intel envision the future of EVs with their next-generation vehicle, the SDVA
The Software-Defined Vehicle Architecture (SDVA), jointly developed by Karma Automotive and Intel, is a major evolution of conventional EV design. This technology will be installed in the new super coupe “Kabeya” scheduled for release in 2026, and will achieve overwhelming performance of over 1,000 horsepower and efficient energy management. The distinctive feature of SDVA is that each component, such as the E-motor, inverter, battery, wiring, and high-performance computer (HPC), is efficiently managed by a zone controller (ZC).
🟦 Strong partnerships behind technological innovation
The development of SDVA is the result of a strategic partnership between Karma Automotive and Intel Automotive. This collaboration is building an open ecosystem and advancing the standardization of new technologies that will benefit the entire automotive industry. In particular, SDVA will enable greater flexibility in vehicle design, improve manufacturing efficiency and safety, and lay the foundation for a sustainable future. In addition, Intel’s AI-enhanced technology will intelligently control vehicle power management, enabling scalable and profitable EVs.
🟦 Summary
The SDVA technology being developed by Karma Automotive and Intel is a game changer for next-generation vehicles, helping to define how future EVs will evolve and contribute to society in an efficient and sustainable way.
I’m excited to see the SDVA technology demo at CES 2025. I’m excited to see what the innovative work from Karma and Intel will bring.
