<p>The Kia Carens has been selling well in the market, surpassing the sales milestone of 2 lakh units since its launch in 2021. More than three years on, this three-row offering was due for an update. But instead of introducing a direct replacement for the old model, Kia has launched a new, more premium and feature-rich vehicle based on the Carens: the Carens Clavis. While Carens reflects its lineage, Clavis derives from a Latin phrase meaning ‘the Golden Key’. So, what key updates set the Carens Clavis apart from the standard Carens?</p>

<p>Let’s find out.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Looks: MPV Turned SUV</h2>

<p>Despite sharing its underpinnings with the Carens, the Clavis sports a distinctly different look. This is largely due to design elements like the new Digital Tiger Nose grille and the striking Star Map LED DRLs paired with a redesigned headlamp cluster. The front fascia is mostly closed off – reminiscent of electric vehicles – and resembles Kia’s newer models like the Syros and EV9. A prominent silver-finished chrome skid plate at both ends adds a rugged, SUV-like character, further enhanced by the raised bonnet, which gives the front-end profile a more commanding presence.</p><p>

      </div>
    </p><p>Contributing to its more premium appearance are the 17-inch alloy wheels, an inch larger than those on the standard Carens. In terms of dimensions, the Clavis is 10mm longer, while the rest of its measurements remain unchanged. As a result, it has the same boot capacity as the Carens – 216 litres.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Interior: Premium Cabin and New Tech Features</h2>

<p>Step inside the Clavis, and you are welcomed by a noticeably more premium and modern cabin. There’s a clear focus on technology and aesthetics, with improved materials on the dashboard that are both visually appealing and well-finished.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749466906825.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>New additions include a connected island that houses twin 10.25-inch displays, a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, an updated steering wheel, and a larger dual-pane panoramic sunroof. One notable feature is the hybrid touch panel that toggles between media and climate controls. While it saves space on the dashboard, its usability while driving is questionable, as it requires taking your eyes off the road.</p><p>The second row remains largely unchanged. The Clavis is offered in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, similar to the Carens.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03-1755597189589.webp" alt="Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The 7-seat variant now includes a three-point seatbelt for the middle passenger. A convenient walk-in feature allows the second-row passenger to adjust the front passenger seat via a lever on its side. Additionally, a one-touch tumble function for the left-side second-row seat makes accessing the third row quite easier.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>Due to the extended sunroof reaching the second row, the roof-mounted AC vents have been repositioned to the sides.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Sunroof-top-1749466922473.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>It’s slightly disappointing that the under-thigh support in the second row hasn’t seen any improvement. As for the third row, it’s reasonably comfortable for short trips but is more suitable for children than adults due to limited under-thigh support and legroom. That said, Kia has thoughtfully equipped the third row with AC vents, reading lights, two USB-C ports, and cupholders, adding to the overall practicality.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Driving Experience: Comfort-Focussed and Easygoing</h2>

<p>The drivetrain options for the Clavis are the same as the Carens – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Power and torque figures are also the same, but the Clavis now gets a 6-speed manual transmission option with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variant.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-side-profile-dynamic-1749466901849.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>True to its character, the Clavis is tuned for comfort. This is evident in its quiet cabin, light steering, and well-cushioned suspension setup. Ground clearance is also generous – I didn’t encounter any issues, even when tackling tall speed breakers, during the test.</p><p>A key upgrade over the Carens is the inclusion of 20 Level 2 ADAS features, enhancing overall safety.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Carens-Clavis-steering-wheel-1755582015733.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The Clavis is also equipped with additional cameras that enable a 360-degree surround view system, making parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces significantly easier.</p>

    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Verdict: A Value-Packed Upgrade Over the Carens?</h2>

<p>The Carens Clavis is undoubtedly a step up from the standard Carens. It offers a more modern design and additional features while retaining the plush ride quality and versatile powertrain options that made the original appealing.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749466928839.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Pricing for the Carens Clavis starts at a very attractive ₹11.50 lakh while the top trim costs ₹21.50 lakh. The base price is just a touch higher which is great to see. In my opinion, even the higher trims justify the hike because of the features they now come with. The Carens Clavis is an easy recommendation for families looking for a well-rounded and feature-rich three-row vehicle.</p>

Kia Carens Clavis First Drive Review - Raising the Bar

The new Kia Carens Clavis is here with fresh styling and more features, but does it offer enough to stand out as a better choice for Indian families?

<p><strong>-The next-generation Kia Seltos is set to be unveiled on December 10.<br>-It is likely to feature a panoramic sunroof, rear LED light bar, retractable door handles, and LED welcome animation.<br>-Same Powertrain options: 1.5-litre NA petrol (113bhp/144Nm), 1.5-litre turbo petrol (158bhp/253Nm), and 1.5-litre diesel (114.4bhp/250Nm).</strong></p>
<p>Kia has kicked off December with a small glimpse of the next-generation Seltos, set to debut next week. While the teaser video keeps most details under wraps, it offers a hint of a new design language for the midsize SUV, in line with Kia’s global styling standards. The SUV seems to have a wide, chrome-accented ‘Tiger Nose’ grille, with the signature <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> badge positioned prominently above it. The DRLs are sleek and vertically positioned, while the headlights are cleverly integrated at the&nbsp;grille’s edges, featuring striking C-shaped and horizontal LED patterns. </p><p>Other highlights include LED welcome animations&nbsp;for both the DRLs and headlights, and a panoramic sunroof. Price-wise, the all-new Seltos is likely to fetch a considerable premium over the existing model, which is currently priced between&nbsp;Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.81 lakh (both, ex-showroom).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect from the revamped Seltos in India.</p>

<h2><strong>New Kia Seltos: What to Expect?</strong></h2>
<p>The next-gen <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/seltos/">Kia Seltos </a>has been spotted testing across global and Indian markets on several occasions, revealing notable upgrades for both the exterior and interior.&nbsp;These include a redesigned grille, larger rear quarter glass, squarish LED headlight clusters,&nbsp;new alloy wheels, retractable door handles, angled turn indicators, C-shaped LED taillights, and a horizontal tailgate accent hinting at a possible central light strip.</p>

<p>Inside, the updated Seltos is expected to have a minimalist design inspired by the Syros and the EV9. It could feature a high-tech triple-screen layout,&nbsp;comprising two 12.3-inch screens and a 5-inch touchscreen for climate control. Though there&nbsp;is no confirmation, Kia may offer electrically adjustable front seats with cooling, dual-zone&nbsp;climate control with rear AC vents, and a wireless phone charger with the new Seltos.</p><p>

New Kia Seltos Design Teased Ahead of India Launch on December 10

The all-new Kia Seltos is likely to fetch a considerable premium over the existing model, which is currently priced between Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.81 lakh (both, ex-showroom).

<p>Kia will reveal the second-generation Seltos for the global market on&nbsp;December 10, 2025. The updated SUV has been spotted testing multiple times on both international and domestic roads, hinting at significant changes inside and out. Although <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia </a>has yet&nbsp;to announce an official India launch timeline, market speculation suggests the new-gen Seltos could make its way here sometime next year.&nbsp;</p><p>The current model is priced between Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.81 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). Given the comprehensive&nbsp;exterior and interior revisions expected, the upcoming Seltos is likely to carry a noticeable&nbsp;price premium. That said, it will continue to have familiar rivals such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/creta/">Hyundai Creta,</a> <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/grand-vitara/">Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/elevate/">Honda Elevate</a>, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kushaq/">Skoda Kushaq</a>.</p><h2><strong>New-Gen Kia Seltos: What to Expect?</strong></h2><p>Previous Spy shots suggest the next-gen Seltos is gearing up for a thorough visual transformation. Up front, it’s expected to feature a redesigned face with squarish LED headlamp clusters, vertically stacked DRLs, and a more prominent grille.&nbsp;The profile appears boxier, likely a result of a marginal size increase, and is equipped with new alloy wheels and a larger rear quarter glass.&nbsp;The rear is expected to include C-shaped LED taillamps and diagonally placed turn indicators.&nbsp;</p><p>Inside, the cabin is anticipated to follow Kia’s new-age design direction seen on the Syros SUV.

Next-gen Kia Seltos Global Debut on December 10; Here's What You Can Expect

Although Kia has yet to announce an official launch timeline for India, the new-gen Seltos is rumoured to make its way on our shores sometime next year.

<p>
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is one of those rare electric MPVs that unapologetically prioritises practicality, comfort, and family usability in a market dominated by crossovers and SUVs. Essentially an evolution of the standard Carens, the Clavis EV builds on Kia’s proven formula of design, features, and versatility, with zero tailpipe emissions, of course.</p>

<p>Visually, it’s familiar yet distinct. The clean surfaces and sleek proportions remain, but subtle EV cues – like the chrome-accented bumper insert, aero-style alloy wheels, and a closed-off grille – lend it a slightly futuristic flair. Some may find it a bit too stylised for a family MPV, but it’s cohesive and confident in execution.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/kia-carens-clavis-ev-first-drive-review---3-row-fun-121512/">Kia Carens Clavis EV First Drive Review - 3-Row Fun!</a></p>

<p>The cabin is definitely one of its highlights. Kia’s excellent use of materials and textures – along with soft-touch surfaces, ambient lighting, and a clever floating console – makes the cabin feel premium. There’s plenty of room across all three rows, with the second and third rows folding flat to free up generous luggage capacity. The flat floor and bench-style layout make it genuinely comfortable for six or seven occupants. Add to that a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and connected-car features, and it feels properly loaded for family use.</p>

<p>Under the skin, the Carens Clavis EV shares its underpinnings with the Creta EV. It is powered by a front-mounted electric motor, which delivers 169bhp and 250Nm of torque with the larger 51.4kWh battery pack and a still-respectable 137bhp with smaller 42kWh battery pack.Performance is brisk, with 0 – 100 km/h achieved in under 10 seconds. Real-world range varies between 300 and 350km, depending on driving conditions. Despite the added weight, the EV retains that trademark comfort we expect from Kia products. The suspension is supple and absorbent, though the extra mass introduces a slight bounce at higher speeds.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/kia-carens-clavis-lineup-updated-with-new-htxo-trim-and-6-seater-options-121913/">Kia Carens Clavis Lineup Updated With New HTX(O) Trim and 6-Seater Options</a></p>

<p>Around the short loop, it clocked a lap time of 1:13.797, exhibiting decent composure for a seven-seater EV. The steering feels light but accurate, and the cabin refinement remains impressive even under load. For those seeking a practical, tech-rich, and efficient family EV, the Carens Clavis is definitely a good option. It may not excite enthusiasts, but as a smooth, comfortable, and sensible everyday MPV, it hits the brief perfectly.

Kia Carens Clavis EV at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

Despite the extra weight, the Carens Clavis EV keeps Kia’s familiar comfort. Its supple suspension absorbs well, though the added mass brings a mild bounce at high speeds.

<p>
It’s safe to say that Kia has delivered some strong products in the Indian market – from the Seltos to the Sonet and the Carens. Joining the lineup now is the Syros – a sub-4m SUV positioned between the Sonet and the Seltos. With its tall-boy stance and 2,550mm wheelbase, the Syros has been engineered to offer impressive cabin space. This becomes evident the moment you step into the second row – the seats can slide back to create additional legroom, albeit at the expense of boot space. The second-row seats are also ventilated – a feature unique to the Syros in this segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/exclusive-stories/kia-syros-special-feature-the-power-of-five-120660/">Kia Syros Special Feature: The Power of Five</a></p>

<p>Just like the exterior, the Syros’ dashboard carries a distinctive design language. You get a two-spoke, flat-bottom ‘squircle’ steering wheel loaded with controls. The design may be unconventional, but it feels good to hold. Taking the centre stage is a massive 30-inch display that integrates three individual screens – an infotainment unit, a digital instrument cluster, and a dedicated panel for climate controls.</p>

<p>The only aspect likely to divide opinion is its exterior styling. The minimalistic robot-like face of this compact SUV won’t appeal to everyone. That’s the risk with radical design choices, and Kia seems to be learning that with the Syros. It’s worth noting that the Syros draws its design inspiration from the larger and more premium EV9, which we tested last year.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/kia-sonet-vs-kia-syros-which-one-makes-more-sense-autox-comparison-120487/">Kia Sonet vs Kia Syros – Which One Makes More Sense? | autoX Comparison</a></p>



<p>Under the hood, both the 1.5-litre turbo-diesel and 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engines deliver punchy performance. Our test car was the turbo-petrol paired with the DCT – it’s an engine that loves to be pushed. Sure, the tall stance leads to some body roll and understeer around corners, but the direct steering more than makes up for them. Once you commit to a line, the Syros holds it with confidence. A few months ago, we tested some ‘hot hatches’ around a tight and twisty go-kart track; guess which car we used to film them? Yes, the Syros. That alone should tell you how capable and versatile this machine really is.

Kia Syros at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

Our test car’s turbo-petrol DCT setup loves to be pushed. While the Kia Syros' tall stance causes mild body roll, the direct steering keeps it composed through corners.

<p>And just like that, three months with the Kia Syros have flown by. It’s time to bid adieu to this feature-rich compact SUV, and our final month has only reinforced our initial positive impressions. After another 1,100 kilometres on the odometer, the Syros continues to be a delightful daily companion, making it genuinely challenging to find any significant faults.</p>
<p>The pre-monsoon heat in Delhi NCR was no match for the Syros’ ventilated front seats, a feature that proved to be an absolute blessing during long, sweltering commutes. Weekend family outings were a breeze, thanks to the reclining rear seats that offered a comfortable haven for both kids and senior parents. The ease of getting in and out was particularly appreciated by the elders in the family.</p>
<p>Dominating the dashboard is the stunning 30-inch Trinity Panoramic Display, which is as premium to use as it is to behold. Its crisp, high-definition screen and lightning-fast response add a touch of modern luxury to the cabin.<br>
    Under the hood, the 1.5-litre CRDI VGT diesel engine paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission is a gem. The powertrain is punchy, exceptionally smooth, and remarkably refined, with engine clatter being minimal. What truly impressed us was its efficiency, consistently delivering a mileage of 17-ish kmpl. This frugal nature, combined with its practical attributes, makes it an ideal long-distance tourer. The generous 465-litre boot space was a lifesaver during our numerous work shoots, easily swallowing camera equipment and even serving as a makeshift tracking vehicle. The cabin is also thoughtfully designed with an abundance of storage spaces, from the glove box and door bins to the armrest, and the plethora of charging ports ensures every passenger’s device stays juiced up.</p>
<p>The ride quality has been a standout feature, especially with the monsoon-battered roads of the NCR. The suspension does a commendable job of soaking up imperfections, providing a comfortable and composed ride for daily use.<br>
    However, no car is perfect, and we had to nitpick to find some flaws. The futuristic design, while modern, does give off strong MPV vibes to some, often requiring an explanation to friends and family about its premium positioning and value. Another minor gripe is the soft suspension setup. While excellent for everyday comfort, it feels a tad spongy during spirited drives through corners, not quite inspiring confidence.</p>
<p>As we hand back the keys, the Kia Syros leaves us with overwhelmingly positive memories. It’s a well-rounded, feature-laden, and practical compact SUV that excels as a comfortable and efficient family vehicle. It’s a compelling package that will be hard to overlook in its segment.</p>

Kia Syros Long Term Review: End of Term - Fond Farewell

From scorching commutes to long family drives, the Kia Syros has impressed us throughout its long-term test. As we say goodbye, here’s what stood out.

<p>Kia has unveiled a performance-focused EV4 in its prototype form. As the ‘GT’ suffix suggests, the upcoming electrified EV4 will have a sportier design and enhanced driving dynamics compared to the standard model. For now, the exact details on the styling and powertrain are under wraps, but more information is anticipated closer&nbsp;to the official global debut, slated for&nbsp;early 2026. </p><p>Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> revealed the production-spec EV4 in both hatchback and sedan body styles at its EV Day event in Spain.&nbsp;Kia has not revealed its plans to introduce the EV4 in India as of now. However, industry reports&nbsp;suggest that the company could bring the model to the market to target the entry-level segment under Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom).</p><p>

Kia EV4 GT Prototype Teased Ahead of Global Launch: What to Expect

Earlier this year, Kia revealed the production-spec EV4 in both hatchback and sedan body styles at its EV Day event in Spain.

<p>Kia has introduced a CNG option for its popular family mover, the Carens, in India, making it the brand's first-ever model to feature this powertrain.&nbsp;The CNG-powered Carens, aimed primarily at fleet&nbsp;operators and budget-conscious families, will be sold alongside the existing diesel and petrol engine options. It will be offered&nbsp;on the Premium (O) trim of the Carens, priced at Rs 11.77&nbsp;lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;The CNG kit comes as an optional dealer-level fitment, and is Rs 77,900 more expensive than the corresponding Premium (O) Petrol MT variant, which is priced at Rs 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The introduction of the CNG variant helps the Carens to strengthen its position among the&nbsp;established rivals in the three-row CNG&nbsp;segment, including the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga CNG and XL6 CNG.
