2025 Kia Carens Clavis Diesel Automatic

Kia has officially unveiled the 2025 Carens Clavis, a premium iteration of the popular Carens MPV. Slated to launch in India on May 23, 2025, the Clavis introduces a refined styling approach, additional features, and three engine options. However, one specific limitation stands out—the diesel-automatic combination is available only in a single mid-level HTK Plus variant.

If you’re eyeing a diesel-automatic Carens Clavis, your choices are limited. This article provides an in-depth look at what the HTK Plus diesel-automatic offers, what it lacks, and how it compares to other variants and rivals in the segment.

Among these, only the HTK Plus gets the diesel-automatic transmission option, restricting feature and configuration flexibility for diesel-auto buyers.

Engine and Transmission Options

The Kia Carens Clavis offers three engine options, giving customers a range of performance choices.

Engine Type Power Torque Transmission Options
1.5L Naturally Aspirated Petrol 115 PS 144 Nm 6-speed Manual
1.5L Turbo-Petrol 160 PS 253 Nm 6-speed Manual, 6-speed iMT*, 7-speed DCT^

  • iMT = Clutchless Manual Transmission

  • ^DCT = Dual-Clutch Transmission

The HTK Plus diesel-automatic is not the only diesel variant—it also comes with a manual transmission. Meanwhile, those wanting more features alongside an automatic gearbox can explore turbo-petrol variants.

Expected Price and Market Positioning

The 2025 Kia Carens Clavis is set to launch on May 23, 2025, with prices likely starting at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). The HTK Plus diesel-auto variant will be competitively priced in the mid-range.

Rivals in the Market

  • Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

  • Maruti XL6

  • Toyota Rumion

  • Toyota Innova Crysta (as a premium alternative)

  • Maruti Invicto

  • Toyota Innova Hycross

While the Clavis targets the mid-size MPV segment, it positions itself as a feature-rich, premium-yet-affordable option.
