Kia Clavis Bookings Starts at Dealership Level

Kia Clavis, the new and premium version of Carens MPV, is confirmed to arrive in showrooms on May 8, 2025. Before its official price announcement, Kia dealerships nationwide commenced bookings for updated models. However, the official booking will start with the market launch on Thursday.  Additionally, the Clavis MPV will be sold alongside the existing Carens. It's expected to be priced from Rs 11 lakh, ex-showroom, as it will directly compete with the Toyota Innova Crysta and lower-spec variants of the Toyota Innova Hycross and the Maruti Invicto.

It may also pack a Bose sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, powered co-driver seat, wireless phone charger, 360-degree camera, 6 airbags, and front and rear parking sensors.
