New Delhi: As the country lights up for Diwali, Kia India has decided to add a few more sparkles of its own — in the form of two new trims for its made-in-India electric family mover, the Carens Clavis EV. The newly launched HTX E and HTX E [ER] trims, priced at ₹19.99 lakh and ₹21.99 lakh respectively (ex-showroom), bring more range, more features, and a healthy dose of festive enthusiasm to India’s EV garages.
⚡️ Electrified Options for Every Mood
Positioned neatly between the HTK+ and HTX variants, the HTX E trim gets a 42 kWh battery pack, while the HTX E [ER] goes the extra mile (literally) with a 51.4 kWh battery. They’re joined by all the bells and whistles that today’s families didn’t know they needed but now won’t drive without — panoramic sunroof, all-LED lighting, auto up/down windows, and even an ECM mirror to admire the smug look on your face when you skip petrol stations.
Inside, the cabin is every bit the electric lounge — leatherette seats, multi-color mood lamps, footwell illumination, and an air purifier with virus protection that’s probably cleaner than most living rooms.
🌿 Performance that’s Zappy Yet Zen
Underneath the calm design is a choice of 99 kW or 126 kW motors delivering 255 Nm of instant torque — enough to turn school runs into mild rollercoaster rides. Range anxiety? Forget it. The 51.4 kWh battery offers up to 490 km, while the 42 kWh unit manages a still-impressive 404 km, both juicing up from 10% to 80% in just 39 minutes with fast charging.
Safety? It’s got 18 advanced features, including six airbags, ESC, HAC, and other acronyms designed to keep you upright and smiling.
🔌 An EV Ecosystem That Actually Works
Kia’s promise goes beyond the car — the K-Charge network now includes over 11,000 charging points accessible via the MyKia app, with live charger availability and route planning so you can find power faster than you can find parking. Over 250 EV-ready workshops and 100 dealerships with DC fast chargers make sure your EV experience stays as seamless as your smartphone’s UI.
Adding an eco-twist, Kia’s “Drive Green” initiative turns every kilometre into a digital tree. So while you’re driving emission-free, your app quietly reminds you that you’re saving the planet — one traffic jam at a time.
🎉 More Trims, More Choice, More Festive Cheer
The Carens Clavis EV lineup now boasts six trims — HTK+, HTX E, HTX, HTX E [ER], HTX [ER], and HTX+ [ER] — offering a buffet of electric goodness for every budget and battery need.
Atul Sood, Sr. VP and National Head (Sales & Marketing), summed it up with festive flair:
“As we welcome the festive season, we wanted to bring more cheer, choice, and charge to our customers. The Carens Clavis EV is already redefining family travel — and now, with these new trims, every journey will feel even more special.”
With a lineup as versatile as your family WhatsApp group and more features than your smartphone, the Carens Clavis EV proves that sustainable driving doesn’t have to be boring — just plug in, power up, and drive into the festive season with a quiet grin (and zero tailpipe).
