Kia India Expands Carens Clavis EV Line-up
Kia India, one of the country’s leading mass-premium carmakers, has introduced the Model Year 2026 (MY26) edition of its Carens Clavis EV. The update introduces a 6-seater configuration with second-row captain seats, in addition to the existing 7-seater option, while also expanding the lineup with new trims and refreshed design pack updates. Together, these enhancements further strengthen Kia’s first Made-in-India electric vehicle in line with evolving customer preferences.
The newly introduced GT-Line trims (GTX & GTX+) bring a sportier character with distinctive styling enhancements including a new alloy wheel design, lime brake calipers and metal pedals. The X-Line Extended Range variant, in contrast, adopts a darker, more rugged aesthetic, highlighted by an exclusive Dark Gun Metal exterior colour along with Aurora Black Pearl. Next-generation technology features such as Digital Key and battery heater technology are offered in the GTX+ and X-Line variants. Standard Range trims are also equipped with newly designed R16 40.56 cm (16”) Black High Gloss Aero Alloy Wheels.
Commenting on the MY26 introduction, Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said, “The Carens Clavis EV was developed to make electric mobility practical and relevant for everyday use. As more customers transition to EVs, their expectations are evolving beyond technology to include greater comfort, flexible seating and distinctive design. The MY26 reflects this feedback with new trims and a 6-seater configuration that enhances comfort and versatility while retaining the practicality Indian customers value.”
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is now available in both 6- & 7-Seater configurations and comes in seven color options: Glacier White Pearl, Gravity Gray, Aurora Black Pearl, Pewter Olive, Imperial Blue, Ivory Silver Matte & New Dark Gun Metal for customers to choose from.
