Kia India launches Carens Clavis, a feature-packed 3-row family vehicle

Kia India, a prominent mass-premium carmaker, has unveiled the newest member of its Carens lineup – the Carens Clavis. Designed as a bold, spacious, and versatile 3-row vehicle, the Carens Clavis is tailored to meet the needs of today’s large, modern families. The vehicle bridges the gap between MPVs and SUVs, offering a unique blend of comfort, expansive space, cutting-edge technology, top-notch safety features, and a sleek, future-forward aesthetic.

The name Clavis is inspired by the Latin phrase Clavis Aurea, meaning “Golden Key,” symbolizing the gateway to unforgettable family adventures and creating lasting memories. The Carens Clavis encapsulates Kia’s vision for a modern family car, combining thoughtful design, thoughtful engineering, and global technological excellence.

Since its initial launch, the Kia Carens has redefined the family car segment in India, gaining the trust of over 2 lakh families in just three years. With a deep understanding of Indian family dynamics, where shared mobility and multi-generational bonding are key, the Carens has resonated with consumers for its combination of space, comfort, and emotional appeal. The new Carens Clavis naturally follows this journey, addressing the evolving needs and aspirations of today’s families. Offering exceptional 6- and 7-seater comfort, this vehicle ensures premium space and advanced tech features, delivering an elevated, purpose-driven experience.

Mr. Gwanggu Lee, MD and CEO of Kia India, stated, “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do, driven by cutting-edge technology and distinctive design. The launch of the Carens Clavis is a significant milestone in our journey, showcasing our commitment to a progressive, premium, and purpose-driven approach. We understand the changing needs of our customers, and with the Carens Clavis, we’re offering more than just a car—it’s a thoughtfully designed experience that enhances everyday mobility. As we continue to push boundaries, we are focused on delivering smart, design-led solutions that empower families and inspire confidence on every journey.”

The Carens Clavis combines bold design with advanced technology, offering a unique blend of elegance, sportiness, and functionality. Its SUV-like stance and futuristic design include features like the Kia Digital Tiger Face, LED headlamps, and Starmap LED taillamps, enhanced by 17” alloy wheels and robust skid plates. Inside, the Carens Clavis redefines comfort with spacious 3rd-row seating, segment-first features like a one-touch electric tumble and Boss Mode for easy access, and a 26.62” dual panoramic display.

The cabin offers 64-color ambient lighting, a seat-mounted air purifier, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, while the Bose 8-speaker sound system elevates the audio experience. For added convenience, the vehicle features a Power Window Auto Up/Down with remote control, a 360-degree camera, and segment-first rear door spot lamp illumination.

Equipped with ADAS Level 2, including 20 autonomous safety features, the Carens Clavis ensures safety with systems like Smart Cruise Control, Forward Collision Avoidance, and Lane Keeping Assist. It offers three powertrain options—Smartstream G1.5 Petrol, G1.5 Turbo-GDi petrol, and D1.5 diesel—and is available in multiple trims and colors.
