GaadiWaadi –

Kia Carens Clavis EV gets its portfolio expanded with the inclusion of more premium variant levels and a six-seater configuration with middle-row captain chairs

Kia has consolidated the appeal of its all-electric MPV, the Carens Clavis EV, by introducing new trims, a new seating layout and feature upgrades for Model Year 2026. Since its debut last year, it has been well received by customers and building on the momentum, the biggest update is the addition of a 6-seater configuration with captain seats.

More interestingly, the new seating option is available across multiple trims including HTX (E), HTX, HTX+, GTX, GTX+ and X-Line. Meanwhile, the existing 7-seater configuration continues giving customers flexibility depending on their usage. Powertrain-wise, the Carens Clavis EV continues with two battery options as before as the performance and range figures remain the same.

The smaller 42 kWh pack delivers an ARAI-rated 404 km range between charges while the larger 51.4 kWh unit offers up to 490 km on a single charge. The electric motors produce 99 kW and 126 kW – both delivering 255 Nm torque. In addition, fast charging allows a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in just 39 minutes.

A major highlight of this update is the introduction of GT-Line and X-Line trims for the Extended Range version. The GT-Line variants – comprising the GTX and GTX+ – bring a sportier vibe with unique alloy wheels, lime brake callipers and metal pedals. On the other hand, the X-Line gains a more rugged visual stance featuring a new Dark Gun Metal shade along with darker exterior elements for a more SUV-like stance.

Feature additions also play a big role in the MY26 update of the Kia Carens Clavis EV. Higher trims now offer Digital Key functionality and battery heater tech while the cabin continues to impress with a dual panoramic display setup – 26.62-inch combined – along with more than 85 connected features and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.
