Kia Carens Clavis 6-Seater: Now Available in Mid Variants
Until recently, if you wanted the Kia Carens Clavis with a 6-seater layout, your only choice was the top-end HTX Plus variant. Now, Kia India has added the 6-seater option to the mid-level HTK Plus trim — making it more budget-friendly. The 6-seater version now starts at ₹16.28 lakh (ex-showroom).
Along with this, Kia has also introduced a new HTX (O) variant to the Carens Clavis lineup.
