Kia India has expanded the Carens Clavis lineup with the launch of a new HTX(O) variant, priced at ₹19.27 lakh (ex-showroom). Sitting between the HTX and HTX+ trims, the new model aims to offer a premium experience at a slightly lower price point, bringing high-end features like the Bose sound system to a wider audience.
🔹 Kia Carens Clavis: What’s New in the HTX(O) Trim
The newly introduced HTX(O) variant bridges the gap between the mid-range and top-spec trims, offering several premium features previously exclusive to the HTX+. The highlight addition is the 8-speaker Bose audio system, now more accessible to buyers.
Other features carried over from the HTX trim include:
-
17-inch alloy wheels
-
Panoramic sunroof
-
LED headlamps
-
Twin 12.25-inch digital screens
-
360-degree camera
-
Ambient lighting
-
Electronic parking brake with auto hold
-
Drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport
🔹 Powertrain and Seating Options
The Carens Clavis HTX(O) is powered by the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering 160hp and paired exclusively with a 7-speed DCT gearbox. Kia is offering this variant in both 6-seater (captain seats) and 7-seater (bench seats) configurations, giving families more flexibility.
🔹 Expanded 6-Seater Line-up
Previously, the premium 6-seater layout with captain chairs was available only on the top-end HTX+ trim and limited to the turbo-petrol engine. With this update, Kia has made it more attainable:
-
HTK+ trim now offers the 6-seater option with both turbo-petrol DCT and diesel AT powertrains.
-
HTK+(O) offers it with the turbo-petrol DCT only.
This change makes the Carens Clavis a more versatile MPV, catering to a broader range of buyers seeking comfort and flexibility.
