Which Kia Carens Clavis EV is the base model, and what does it cost?

The HTK+, from ₹18.04L ex-showroom, is where the Carens Clavis EV range starts. Features you get even here: 12.25 inch touchscreen, cruise control and rear camera. What you give up against the top X-Line: no ADAS, no 360° camera and no blind spot monitor, and 15 more.

Which Kia Carens Clavis EV is the top model, and what does it cost?

The X-Line tops the range at ₹25.00L ex-showroom. Over the base HTK+ it adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 15 more. It is not a straight superset of the range though: it goes without no height-adjustable driver seat that the HTK+ has.

What do the Kia Carens Clavis EV trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and Kia uses 7 names for them on the Carens Clavis EV: in its own order they run HTK+, HTX E, HTX and 4 more. The name is not the car, though: HTX E alone covers 2 variants, differing in battery rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 9 variants cost ₹18.04L to ₹25.00L, ex-showroom.

What fuel does the Kia Carens Clavis EV run on?

Every one of the 9 Carens Clavis EV variants on sale is an electric, from ₹18.04L for the HTK+ Electric AT, ex-showroom.

What is the Kia Carens Clavis EV range?

The maker prints 404 km for the 42 kWh Electric and 490 km for the 51.4 kWh Electric (Extended Range) (ARAI). What it really returns on the road is in the next answer.

What range does the Kia Carens Clavis EV really return?

51.4 kWh Electric (Extended Range): around 7 to 8 km/kWh, from 2 independent publishers, against the maker's 490 km.

Which cars does the Kia Carens Clavis EV compete with?

The Carens Clavis EV runs ₹18.04L to ₹25.00L ex-showroom, and 2 other MPVs sell in the same money: the Toyota Innova Hycross from ₹18.70L and the VinFast VF MPV 7 from ₹24.49L.

Is there a cheaper alternative to the Kia Carens Clavis EV?

Not among the cars it goes up against. The Carens Clavis EV is the cheapest of them at ₹18.04L ex-showroom, so a saving would have to come from a smaller car rather than a rival MPV.

Sorted by price.

₹18,47,695 to ₹29,00,655 on the road

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the HTK+ Electric AT comes to ₹18,47,695 in Aizawl and ₹20,73,195 in Patna, a difference of ₹2,25,500 on the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price it in, 8 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ Two magazines measured the 51.4 kWh car independently and landed close together, 364 km and 372 km, so the real-world number is unusually well established for a car this new+ Thriftier in the city than on the highway, which suits the commuting and school-run life most of these will lead+ Named Midsize EV of the Year at the 2026 Autocar India Awards, ahead of the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6 and VinFast VF 6− Real range lands at roughly three quarters of the 490 km claim, so treat the brochure figure as a best case− Efficiency drops away sharply above 110 km/h, and one owner reported an aggressive stretch using 80 percent of the battery in under 200 km− No crash-test rating has been published for this car by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP as of August 2026, so its crash performance is unmeasured rather than poor, and the 3 star Global NCAP result you will find belongs to the older pre-facelift Carens

4 more things owners and testers say

+ Owners report 350 to 400 km on a charge when held to 80 to 100 km/h, and one covered 756 km in a single day+ An owner's city efficiency improved after the first service and settled at 8 km/kWh− Owners report the charging network, not the car, as the weak link: non-functional BPCL and IOCL units, crowded Tata stations, and one operator whose chargers will not start a session below 5 percent state of charge− Too new for anyone to know what it is like at three years or what it will be worth then

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
