New Delhi: Kia India has recently introduced its latest Carens Clavis (ICE) range with the latest HTE (EX) trim, which is aimed at offering more comfort and convenience features while keeping prices competitive. The newest variant is available across all internal combustion powertrains and is provided exclusively in a 7-seater configuration. The update is the first time introduction of a sunroof with the G1.5 petrol powertrain on Carens Clavis (ICE). Buyers opting for the naturally aspirated petrol have to forego this increasingly popular feature. Kia is addressing a long-standing customer demand, especially among family buyers who value cabin openness and a premium feel.
It offers three ICE powertrains, which include:
- G1.5 petrol 7-seater, which is priced at Rs 12,54,900
- G1.5 turbo-petrol 7-seater, which is priced at Rs 13,41,900
- D1.5 diesel 7-seater, which is priced at Rs 14,52,900
By making the trim available across petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel options, Kia is ensuring broader accessibility for customers with different performance and efficiency preferences. The HTX (EX) trim adds several features that significantly enhance everyday usability and cabin experience. These include Fully Automatic Temperature Control for improved climate comfort, LED DRLs and LED position lamps for a more modern front-end appearance, and LED cabin lamps that will enhance interior illumination.
An auto up and down driver-side power window has also been added for extra convenience and safety. These upgrades bring the HTE (EX) closer to higher trims in terms of feel, while maintaining a relatively accessible price point within the Carens Clavis lineup. With the introduction of the HTE (EX) trim, Kia continues to fine-tune the Carens Clavis (ICE) portfolio to suit Indian family buyers better. By making premium features like sunroof, automatic climate control, and LED lighting available at lower trim levels and across all powertrains, Kia is reinforcing the Carens Clavis position as a practical, feature-rich MPV in a highly competitive segment.
