Kia has expanded the Carens Clavis line-up with new lower-spec automatic variants. The HTE(O) turbo-petrol 7DCT is now priced from ₹14.67 lakh, making the automatic range significantly more accessible.

Kia has confirmed factory-fitted CNG versions of the Carens and Carens Clavis. Both seven-seat MPVs will feature a 1.5-litre engine, 60-litre CNG tank and six-speed manual gearbox, with prices expected by early October 2026.

Kia India achieved its highest-ever June sales with 24,552 units dispatched, recording 19% YoY growth. The automaker also posted its strongest first-half performance with 1.64 lakh units sold, led by robust demand for the Seltos, Sonet, Carens Clavis and Clavis EV.
