The 2025 Kia Carens Clavis is more than just a car — it’s a statement of innovation, comfort, and safety designed for modern Indian families. Inspired by the Latin phrase Clavis Aurea, meaning “Golden Key,” the Carens Clavis aims to unlock unforgettable journeys for every generation. With its bold design, premium interiors, intelligent technology, and top-tier safety features, this MPV stands tall as the perfect family car for India.
Whether you’re planning long road trips, daily commutes, or weekend getaways, the Carens Clavis ensures that every drive is comfortable, safe, and memorable.
The Carens Clavis is not just about mobility — it’s about making a visual statement. Every curve, contour, and detail reflects Kia’s futuristic design DNA.
Exterior Excellence
From the very first glance, the Carens Clavis captivates with its Digital Tiger Face grille finished in diamond decor, bold Ice Cube LED headlamps, and Star Map LED connected tail lamps. These details give it a futuristic stance that turns heads wherever it goes.
The aerodynamic design improves efficiency while maintaining a strong road presence. Each of its seven color options — Ivory Silver Gloss, Sparkling Silver, Pewter Olive, Glacier White Pearl, Gravity Grey, Imperial Blue, and Aurora Black Pearl — adds its own charm to this stunning vehicle.
Interior: Comfort Redefined
Step inside, and you’ll find a Triton Navy and Beige dual-tone cabin that blends luxury with practicality. The 7-seater cabin is thoughtfully designed for Indian families, offering generous legroom, advanced ergonomics, and high-quality materials throughout.
The dual panoramic display combines infotainment and driving data into one seamless unit — ensuring that technology is always within your reach. The cabin’s calm ambiance, paired with roof-flushed AC vents, creates a soothing environment for all three rows.
Technology & Connectivity: Smarter Than Ever
In the digital age, your car should be as smart as your smartphone — and the Carens Clavis doesn’t disappoint.
Kia Connect 2.0 – Always in Control
With over 80 smart features, Kia Connect 2.0 transforms your driving experience. It lets you monitor, locate, and control your car remotely — whether you’re inside or miles away. Features like remote climate control, vehicle status updates, live tracking, and voice assistant integration add unparalleled convenience.
Dual Panoramic Display
The sleek 31.12 cm (12.25”) HD touchscreen navigation system merges with the 31.7 cm (12.5”) digital instrument cluster to provide a unified, futuristic dashboard. The setup supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while OTA map and system updates ensure your car’s software stays current.
BOSE Premium Sound System
In higher trims, the Clavis features a BOSE 8-speaker premium audio setup — perfect for music lovers who enjoy crystal-clear sound on every journey.
Safety: Built for Family Protection
Safety is non-negotiable in a family car — and Kia takes it seriously. The Carens Clavis is built around the concept of “Family-first safety.”
18 Standard Hi-Safety Features
Even the base variant comes with 18 safety features as standard, including:
- 6 airbags
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
- Rear Occupant Alert
- All-wheel disc brakes
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

This intelligent safety suite acts as your virtual co-driver, predicting and preventing potential hazards to keep you and your loved ones secure.
The Carens Clavis offers multiple engine options to match every driving style — whether you prefer the smooth petrol engine or the robust diesel.
Engine & Transmission Options
- 1.5L Smartstream Petrol (G1.5T) – Paired with 6-speed iMT or 7DCT automatic transmission

Driving Experience
The Carens Clavis offers a balanced ride — smooth enough for city commutes yet powerful for highways. The Drive Mode Selector (DCT) allows you to switch between modes for efficiency or performance as per your mood.
Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels are impressively low, ensuring a calm cabin even at high speeds. Combined with the Smart Pure Air Purifier and ventilated front seats, the Carens Clavis guarantees a premium, fatigue-free experience on long drives.
