Kia India has expanded its Carens Clavis EV lineup with the launch of a brand-new HTX E variant. Priced at ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Standard Range (42kWh) version and ₹21.99 lakh for the Extended Range (51.4kWh) model, the new mid-spec trim bridges the gap between the entry-level HTK+ and the feature-loaded HTX variants.
By introducing this new version at a sub-₹20 lakh starting point, Kia has strategically made premium EV ownership more accessible, particularly for buyers who want an extensive feature list without opting for the costlier ADAS-equipped models. With the HTX E’s debut, the 2025 Carens Clavis EV lineup now includes six variants, giving buyers a wider selection of features, performance levels, and price points.
