The Carens Clavis engine choices
The 1.5 litre petrol is the calm, affordable base for lighter use. The 1.5 litre turbo petrol makes 158 bhp and gives the MPV real pace. That turbo comes as a manual, an iMT or a 7 speed DCT. The 1.5 litre diesel is the long distance option, with a manual or an automatic, and the HTE and HTE (O) CNG cut running costs further.
Working through the Carens Clavis trims
HTE, HTE (O) and HTE (EX) grades open the range and cover the basics for a family. HTK+ trims add cruise control and more comfort. HTX grades bring the 360 degree camera and the 12.25 inch screen, while the HTX+, GTX+ and X-Line add ventilated seats and Level 2 ADAS. Compare the Carens Clavis grades side by side, then look up its price where you live.
How the price ladder is built
Prices climb from the HTE at ₹11.38 Lakh to the GTX+ Turbo DCT and X-Line Turbo DCT, both at ₹21.78 Lakh ex-showroom. The turbo DCT trims cluster near the top of the range. Diesel automatics also carry a premium over the petrol manuals below them.
