The new Kia Carens Clavis is all set to launch in India on 23rd May, 2025. Deliveries of the premium MPV are likely to begin with the official price announcement, while bookings are already underway nationwide. The model lineup is spread across seven trim levels – HTE, HTE (O), HTK, HTK+, HTK+ (O), HTX and HTX+. Interestingly, the Carens (pre-facelift) has been creased to only one trim – Premium (O).
The Carens Clavis is essentially a more premium version of the Carens, offering some extra features along with slightly improved styling. The MPV comes with the same three engine options available with the Carens, including 1.5L NA, 1.5L turbo-petrol and 1.5L diesel. Transmission choices are a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed iMT, a 6-speed automatic and a 7-speed DCT.
