Kia is set to introduce a new six-seat configuration for its recently launched Carens Clavis EV, offering more comfort and versatility to buyers.
Kia Carens Clavis EV: What’s New?
Just weeks after its initial launch, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is getting an exciting update. While it was first released exclusively as a seven-seater, Kia India has confirmed plans for a new six-seat version.
This upcoming variant aims to provide a more premium and comfortable experience for passengers, especially those in the second row. It’s a direct response to market demands for more flexible seating options in electric vehicles.
Enhanced Comfort: Captain Seats on the Way
The highly anticipated six-seat configuration will feature comfortable captain seats in the second row. These individual seats are designed to offer enhanced comfort and convenience.
Passengers will benefit from slide, recline, and tumble functions, allowing for greater adjustability and easier access to the third row. This setup is perfect for families or groups prioritizing comfort over maximum passenger capacity.
This premium seating option will be available exclusively on the top-spec HTX+ ER variant, making it a high-end choice within the Carens Clavis EV lineup.
Power and Performance Remain Consistent
Despite the seating change, the core specifications of the six-seat Kia Carens Clavis EV are expected to mirror its seven-seat counterpart. This means buyers can anticipate the same reliable performance and impressive range.
The vehicle will be powered by a robust 51.4kWh battery pack. This is paired with a single, front-wheel-drive electric motor that delivers a punchy 169bhp and 255Nm of torque.
With this setup, the Carens Clavis EV boasts a claimed range of 490km on a single charge. This ensures ample travel capability for daily commutes and longer journeys alike, without frequent stops for recharging.
Pricing and Availability
The Kia Carens Clavis EV initially launched with prices starting from Rs. 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the seven-seat model. While the six-seat variant will share most features and specifications, a price adjustment is expected.
Kia India is likely to announce the exact pricing details for the new six-seat version in the coming weeks. This premium offering is anticipated to launch soon, providing consumers with a versatile and eco-friendly mobility solution.
