Kia Carens Clavis Overview

The Kia Carens Clavis is a seven seat MPV that drives more like a car than a van. It is the premium, updated take on the Carens, with a smart cabin and a long feature list. Families get space without a bulky, awkward feel. It is one of the few MPVs that feels enjoyable to drive.

Three engines share the range. A 1.5 litre petrol handles light duties, a 1.5 litre turbo petrol adds real pace, and a 1.5 litre diesel suits long trips. The turbo makes 158 bhp, giving the MPV genuine pace. The turbo alone comes as a manual, an iMT or a DCT. To weigh the grades, see how the Carens Clavis trims are equipped.

Seven seats fold and shift to balance people and luggage. The middle row is comfortable, and the drive stays easy in city traffic. The boot holds 216 litres with all rows up and grows once you fold them. Ground clearance of 195 mm copes with rough roads and tall speed breakers. Run through the Carens Clavis trims one by one to shortlist a grade.

Prices climb from 11.39 lakh to 21.79 lakh across twelve trims. Fuel and gearbox drive much of that gap, not just features. Budget buyers stop low, while turbo DCT grades sit near the top. On-road prices rise once tax and insurance are added.

The Carens Clavis suits families who want an MPV that does not feel like a compromise. It seats seven, drives neatly and carries a premium cabin. To finish the choice, look through the Carens Clavis colour range.
