Fresh leaks have surfaced online revealing pricing details for the upcoming sportier and premium trims of the Kia Carens Clavis EV, Kia’s first made-in-India electric MPV. The model, already on sale since July 2025 with prices starting at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base HTK+ variant and topping out at Rs 24.49 lakh for the HTX+ ER, is set to expand its lineup with new GT-Line and X-Line variants. These additions promise a more dynamic styling package and enhanced features, targeting buyers looking for a sharper aesthetic and added luxury in the affordable 7-seater electric segment.
According to the leaked information, the new top-spec variants fall under the GT-Line branding, with two distinct trims: GTX and GTX+. These are expected to build on the existing Extended Range (ER) models equipped with the larger 51.4 kWh battery pack, offering an ARAI-certified range of up to 490 km, 169 bhp power output, and 255 Nm of torque.
Key leaked prices include:
- Carens Clavis EV ER GTX 6-seater: Priced at Rs 22.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This introduces a captain-seat configuration for the second row, enhancing comfort and premium feel for family use.
- Carens Clavis EV ER GTX 7-seater: Also priced at Rs 22.99 lakh (ex-showroom), maintaining the same aggressive pricing for both seating layouts.
While specific details for the higher GTX+ trim remain unconfirmed in the leak, reports suggest it could command a higher tag, potentially aligning closer to or slightly above the current top-end HTX+ ER at Rs 24.49 lakh, with added sporty elements like GT-Line-specific styling (red accents, unique alloys, aggressive bumpers), enhanced interior trims, and possibly exclusive features such as advanced ADAS refinements or premium audio upgrades.The X-Line is anticipated as a separate premium or rugged-themed variant, likely focusing on blacked-out elements, chrome accents, and off-road-inspired styling cues similar to other Kia X-Line models, though exact pricing for this trim has not been detailed in the current leaks.
These leaked figures position the GTX variants competitively in the sub-Rs 25 lakh electric 3-row space. The identical pricing for 6- and 7-seater options in the GTX makes the captain-seat version particularly appealing for those prioritizing second-row comfort without a price penalty. The introduction of GT-Line trims follows Kia’s strategy of offering sportier editions across its lineup (as seen in the petrol/diesel Carens Clavis), while the X-Line could cater to buyers seeking a more premium or distinctive look.
The Carens Clavis EV already stands out with its Level 2 ADAS suite, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats (on higher trims), Bose audio, V2L functionality, and fast charging (10-80% in around 39 minutes via DC). The GT-Line and X-Line variants are expected to amplify these strengths with visual flair and potentially minor feature additions.
As of now, these details stem from unofficial leaks, and official confirmation from Kia India is awaited. The brand has been aggressively expanding its EV portfolio in India, with the Carens Clavis EV quickly becoming one of the most accessible 7-seater electric options on the market. Stay tuned for official announcements on the new trims, which could arrive soon to capitalize on festive demand.
