HTE Price and Specs, Kia Carens Clavis

The HTE Petrol is the entry Kia Carens Clavis, a premium three-row MPV that seats seven. It runs the 1.5 litre naturally aspirated petrol with 113 bhp at a rated 15.34 kmpl, driving the front wheels through a manual. It includes six airbags and 15 inch alloys as standard, unusual for a base MPV.

The HTE keeps kit focused, with a driver display rather than a central touchscreen at this level. What you get is genuine seven seat space, the smooth petrol and the full six airbag safety net, which makes it a sensible, safe entry into the range for larger families.

Choose the HTE Petrol if you want seven seats and strong safety at the lowest price. The HTE (O) adds a touchscreen and a camera, the turbo brings performance, and the diesel offers stronger economy.
