Kia Carens Clavis EV Updated With 6-Seat Option And GT-Line, X-Line Trims

Kia India has rolled out a model year update for the Carens Clavis EV, with the addition of new GT-Line and X-Line trims, while also introducing a 6-seat configuration. The update focuses on adding more choice in terms of both styling and cabin layout.

Until now, the Carens Clavis EV was offered only as a 7-seat MPV unlike its ICE counterpart, which already had a 6-seat option. With this update, Kia has introduced a 6-seat layout with second-row captain seats, available across multiple trims including HTX (E), HTX, HTX+, GTX, GTX+ and X-Line. The 7-seat layout continues to be available in the GTX, GTX+ and X-Line variants.

The newly added GT-Line trims (GTX and GTX+) bring in cosmetic changes such as a new alloy wheel design, lime-finished brake calipers and metal pedals. On the other hand, the X-Line Extended Range variant gets darker exterior elements, including finishes like Dark Gun Metal and Aurora Black Pearl.

In terms of features, Kia has added elements like a Digital Key and battery heater technology on higher trims, such as GTX+ and X-Line. Standard range variants also benefit from new 16-inch black high-gloss aero alloy wheels. Both GT-Line and X-Line trims command a premium of Rs 50,000 over the variants they are based on. The GTX is derived from the HTX 51.4 kWh variant, while GTX+ and X-Line are based on the HTX+ 51.4 kWh trim.
