2026 Kia Carens Clavis lineup has been updated with the addition of new GT-Line and X-Line trims just as the electric version with more features across the board
Kia India has refreshed the Carens Clavis for MY26 with an expanded variant lineup and more features spread across trim levels. The update introduces new styling-based variants while also strengthening mid-level trims with equipment that was previously limited to higher versions – making the MPV more appealing than before.
A key highlight is the addition of GT-Line and X-Line versions which bring a more SUV-inspired character to the Carens Clavis. These new trims are positioned below the Rs. 20 lakh mark and are offered with the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine option – targeting consumers looking for a sportier and more distinctive design.
The GT-Line trims, available in GTX and GTX+ forms, get several cosmetic upgrades to up their sporty appeal such as gloss black roof rails and ORVMs, revised bumpers with body-coloured inserts, LED fog lamps, new alloy wheel designs, lime-finished brake callipers and metal pedals. In contrast, the X-Line variant gains a darker and more aggressive theme.

The entry point to the 2026 Kia Carens range starts at Rs. 11.20 lakh for the base 1.5 petrol 7-seater in HTE trim and it gradually climbs through variants like HTE(O) and HTE EX before reaching mid-spec trims such as HTK+ and HTX. As you move higher, prices for petrol manual versions touch around Rs. 18.81 lakh while iMT options add a slight premium – going beyond Rs. 19 lakh.
The turbo petrol DCT variants command a further increase, starting from about Rs. 16.62 lakh and going up to Rs. 21.56 lakh for top-end GTX+ and X-Line trims. Diesel variants follow a slightly different spread – beginning at Rs. 13.13 lakh for the base HTE trim and extending up to around Rs. 18.78 lakh for higher manual versions.

Automatic diesel options (6AT) are positioned in the mid-to-upper range – priced around Rs. 17.34 lakh for both 6- and 7-seater configurations. Meanwhile, the 6-seater turbo petrol lineup sits at the higher end overall – especially in fully loaded trims – with prices ranging from Rs. 16.62 lakh to Rs. 21.56 lakh depending on variant and gearbox.
