Kia is gearing up to drop the price curtain off the Carens Clavis MPV on 23 May. Ahead of the reveal, the automaker has unveiled the ARAI-certified fuel economy figures. Buyers will have a trio of engine choices - a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a punchier 1.5-litre turbo petrol, and a frugal 1.5-litre diesel.
Fuel efficiency numbers showcase the diesel manual leading the pack with an impressive 19.54kmpl, followed by the diesel automatic at 17.50kmpl. Both turbo-petrol manual and iMT versions clock in at 15.95kmpl, while the turbo-petrol DCT manages a slightly better 16.66kmpl.
The Clavis will be offered in seven trims - HTE, HTE(O), HTK, HTK+, HTK+(O), HTX, and HTX+ across six- and seven-seat configurations. Beyond just mileage, the Clavis ups its tech game with dual 12.3-inch screens, new dashboard layout, dashcam, powered driver's seat, and a 360-degree camera along with Level 2 ADAS.
