Kia India revealed the 2025 Carens Clavis on May 8, 2025 and opened bookings for the MPV the very next day. Set to launch tomorrow (May 23), the 2025 Kia Carens Clavis will be positioned above the 2025 Carens MPV. Kia will offer the Carens Clavis in 7 variants – HTE, HTE (O), HTK, HTK Plus, HTK Plus (O), HTX and HTX Plus (O). If you’re interested in buying the 2025 Carens Clavis, this article will give you details such as the variant-wise powertrain options and their specifications.

The new Carens Clavis offers a modern, EV-inspired design when compared to the Carens. Up front, Kia have incorporated their new Digital Tiger Nose Grille flanked by angular L-shaped LED DRLs and tri-LED headlamps. The front bumper features silver skid plates for a rugged aesthetic.
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.
Kia are offering a new colour option for the 2025 Carens Clavis called Ivory Silver, which should help it stand out from the Carens further.
As expected, the 2025 Carens Clavis offers an updated cabin layout over the Carens. The new Carens Clavis’s dashboard features a 36.62-inch panel that houses the digital driver’s display as well as the touchscreen infotainment system. It also gets the 2-spoke steering wheel from the Kia Syros, albeit with a dual-tone finish. Other feature highlights include:
The interior of the Carens Clavis is finished in beige to offer an airy feel. Like the Carens, the new Clavis is available with 6- and 7-seater configurations.
