Kia Carens, Carens Clavis Cumulative Sales Cross 3 Lakh Units

Kia India has announced that its MPV, the Carens & Carens Clavis, have crossed the 3 lakh unit cumulative sales milestone. The milestone arrives a little over a year after the MPV crossed the 2 lakh unit mark in March 2025. Interestingly, the milestone also arrives a little over a year after the launch of the Carens Clavis - the upgraded version of the original Carens, which remains on sale - in May last year.
