Kia has rolled out a new version of its popular MPV — the Kia Carens Clavis — in the Indian market. Starting at ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Clavis is designed to offer more than the standard Carens, both in terms of features and styling. It is available in six- and seven-seat formats, making it a versatile option for families.
Easy Third-Row Access and Practical Layout
Kia has improved cabin accessibility with a walk-in lever and an electric one-touch tumble function for the second row — a first in this segment. These features simplify entry to the third row, especially in the seven-seater variant.
Equipped with Level 2 ADAS and Comprehensive Safety Suite
The Carens Clavis integrates Level 2 ADAS technology, offering 20 semi-autonomous safety functions. Alongside these, it includes 18 passive safety measures, such as six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and rear passenger alert, ensuring a safer ride.
Refined Exterior Inspired by Kia’s New Design Language
Built with Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy, the Clavis receives a modern visual upgrade. The MPV sports LED headlamps, connected LED tail lights, and a sleek Ivory Silver gloss finish. Newly designed 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and satin chrome highlights further enhance the visual appeal.
