Last week, Kia India revealed the 2025 Carens Clavis as a premium alternative to the standard Carens MPV. While we await the variant-wise prices of the 2025 Carens Clavis, we can now confirm that Kia have discontinued the higher Prestige and X-Line variants of the Carens.

2025 Kia Carens Now Available In Single Premium (O) Variant Only

2025 Carens Variants Discontinued To Make Way For Carens Clavis

The 2025 Carens is now available in a single variant – Premium (O) 7 seater – only. The 2025 Carens is no longer offered with the 6-seater option or the higher Prestige, Prestige (O), Prestige Plus, Prestige Plus (O), Gravity, Luxury Plus and X-Line variants. While the 2025 Carens continues to offer the same engine options as before, Kia have streamlined their transmission options.

Going forward, the 2025 Carens is only available in the following powertrain options:

2025 KIA CARENS VARIANT-WISE EX-SHOWROOM PRICES (MAY 2024)
Variant	Price
Premium (O) 7 Seater 1.5L Normal Petrol-MT	Rs. 11,40,900
Premium (O) 7 Seater 1.5L Turbo Petrol-ACMT	Rs. 12,64,900
Premium (O) 7 Seater 1.5L Diesel-MT	Rs. 13,25,900

Although the 2025 Carens is available with the same engine options as before, Kia India no longer offer the 1.5L turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel engine with an automatic transmission.

2025 KIA CARENS POWERTRAIN SPECS

Power	115PS @ 6300rpm	160PS @ 5500rpm	116PS @ 4000rpm
Torque	144Nm @ 4500rpm	253Nm @ 1500 - 3500rpm	250Nm @ 1500 - 2750rpm

2025 Kia Carens Feature Highlights

The Kia Carens’ single variant offers the following features:

8-inch touchscreen
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Keyless entry
5x USB-C ports
Power-adjustable ORVMs

However, it misses out on features found in higher variants such as ventilated seats, alloy wheels, a sunroof and a six-seat configuration. Kia India will now offer these features with the 2025 Carens Clavis only.

Kia have stated that the Carens and the upcoming Carens Clavis will be sold alongside each other in India. The Clavis will be available in different variants and will offer a broader range of transmission choices, including a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed auto-clutch manual (ACMT), a 6-speed torque converter (TC) and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Kia's strategy of offering the Carens in just one variant is likely geared towards appealing to budget-focused individual buyers as well as fleet and commercial customers. The Carens Premium (O) model continues to be available in a selection of seven exterior colours
