2025 Kia Carens Clavis Revealed – Bookings To Open On May 9 | V3Cars

Kia India have revealed the 2025 Carens Clavis, a premium alternative to the Carens MPV. As we expected, the Carens Clavis blends an upright SUV styling with the practicality of an MPV to rival other 7-seater people carriers such as the Maruti XL6, Citroen Aircross and the Hyundai Alcazar.

The side profile of the Carens Clavis remains largely the same as the Carens MPV, save for new 17-inch machined alloy wheels. In comparison, the standard Carens rides on 16-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, Kia have incorporated new LED taillamps with a connected light bar and the rear bumper gets a silver skid plate as well.
