What the HTX Electric 42 kWh AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTX Electric 42 kWh AT comes to ₹21,00,195 on the road in Aizawl and ₹23,87,755 in Guwahati.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,87,560 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 8 of them are level at the lowest, and Assam comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹20.54L ex-showroom this is the third of 9 Carens Clavis EV variants by price, ₹54,000 above the HTX E Electric 42 kWh AT. It is also the cheapest of the 2 ways into HTX: the same features as the HTX Electric 51.4 kWh AT for ₹2.00L less. Stepping up to GTX from here starts at ₹2.50L more and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the HTX cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person. Worth knowing that the GTX is not sold with the Electric with the single-speed automatic, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.

- What is the on-road price of the Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX Electric 42 kWh AT?
- Expect ₹21,00,195 in Aizawl and ₹23,87,755 in Guwahati. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,87,560 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 17 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.

- Is the HTX the right Carens Clavis EV to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Kia Carens Clavis EV which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
