Kia Carens Clavis Announces New HTX(O) And 6-Seater Variants

Kia has just spiced up the Carens Clavis by adding two new, brilliantly practical variants that give you more choice without stretching your budget.

Say Hello to the New HTX(O) and 6-Seater Trims

Kia has listened to what buyers want and has introduced two key additions to the upcoming Carens Clavis lineup. This isn't just a minor update—it's a strategic move that makes this rugged, lifestyle-focused vehicle more accessible than ever.

Here’s a Quick Breakdown of What’s New:

• New HTX(O) Variant: This new mid-to-high spec model sits perfectly between the existing HTX and HTX+ trims. Think of it as a "sweet spot" variant, packing in more premium features without the top-tier price tag.

• New 6-Seater Option: Previously, the 6-seater layout was only available on the top-end variants. Now, Kia is extending this popular configuration to the more affordable HTX and the new HTX(O) trims.

Why This Update is a Game-Changer 

Let's cut to the chase. What does this actually mean for you, the buyer?

• More Choice, Better Value: You're no longer forced to go for the most expensive model to get the seating or features you really want. The new HTX(O) offers a fantastic blend of comfort and tech.

• The 6-Seater Advantage: The 6-seater layout with its captain chairs in the middle row is a dream for families. It’s more comfortable and luxurious than the bench-style 7-seater, and easier for passengers to get in and out of the third row. Now, you can get this premium seating setup at a much lower entry point.

• Future-Proof Buying: While the exact feature list for the Clavis is still under wraps, expect the HTX(O) to include must-haves like a larger touchscreen, premium audio, sunroof, and advanced connectivity features, bridging the gap between the standard and luxury models perfectly.

The New Carens Clavis Price List

The most exciting part? The new variants come with very attractive pricing. Kia has also revised the prices of the existing 6-seater variants, putting some money back in your pocket.

Here’s a clear table to show you the savings on the newly affordable 6-seater models:

What About the Car Itself? A Quick Refresher.

The Carens Clavis is Kia's answer to the growing demand for rugged, SUV-like vehicles that are also practical for daily family life. Think of it as a tough-looking, boxy crossover that prioritizes space and comfort.

• Engine & Performance: While official specs are awaited, it's widely expected to share its powertrain with other Kia and Hyundai models in India. This likely means efficient petrol and diesel engine options, possibly including turbo-petrol units, paired with both manual and automatic transmissions.

• Safety First: As with all Kia cars, we expect a solid suite of safety features. Multiple airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start Assist, and a robust body structure should be standard across most variants.

Ready to Get Behind the Wheel?

Kia has effectively just widened the door for more buyers to step into the highly anticipated Carens Clavis. With more variants and significant price cuts on the desirable 6-seater models, there's likely a configuration that now fits your needs and budget perfectly.

The buzz is real, and with these new options, the Clavis is set to become an even bigger hit.
