Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX E Trim Launched, Priced From Rs. 19.99 Lakhs

Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX E trim with added features and two battery options

Kia India has expanded the Carens Clavis EV lineup with the introduction of a new HTX E variant, priced at Rs. 19.99 lakhs (ex-showroom) for the Standard Range version and Rs. 21.99 lakhs for the Extended Range (ER) model. Positioned between the existing HTK+ and HTX trims, the HTX E adds several premium features at a slightly more accessible price point.

The Carens Clavis EV is now available in six variants – HTK+, HTX E, HTX E ER, HTX, HTX ER and HTX+ ER, with prices ranging from Rs. 17.99 lakhs to Rs. 24.49 lakhs (ex-showroom).

Compared to the base HTK+ trim, the new HTX E variant offers a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting, leatherette upholstery, a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustability, a retractable seatback table, an air purifier and a voice-controlled power window function. Other additions include LED interior lights and an anti-glare IRVM. The cabin adopts a dual-tone beige and navy blue interior theme, while the Extended Range version gains 17-inch alloy wheels.

Most of these upgrades were earlier exclusive to the HTX variant. The primary difference between the HTX E and HTX trims is the absence of the ADAS package in the former. The top-spec HTX+ ER variant continues unchanged.

The HTX E trim is available with both 42kWh and 51.4kWh battery options. The Standard Range version delivers 135 HP and 255 Nm, offering an ARAI-certified range of 404 km. The Extended Range variant produces 171 HP and 255 Nm, with a claimed range of 490 km.

With this launch, Kia aims to make its mid-range EV offering more feature-rich and competitive while maintaining a balanced pricing structure across the Carens Clavis EV portfolio.
