Alongside, the 6-seat layout—previously reserved for the top-spec trim—is now available on more affordable variants such as HTK+ and HTK+(O), broadening the Carens Clavis’ family-friendly portfolio.

Kia Carens Clavis HTX(O): What’s New

The new HTX(O) trim makes the BOSE Premium 8-speaker sound system more accessible — previously exclusive to the top-end HTX+. Other premium features carried over include:

• Selectable Drive Modes (Eco, Normal, Sport)
• Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold
• 17-inch Alloy Wheels
• Panoramic Sunroof
• LED Headlights
• Twin 12.25-inch Displays
• 360-degree Camera
• Ambient Lighting

Under the hood, the HTX(O) continues with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (160hp) mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Buyers can choose between 6- and 7-seat configurations, adding versatility to the premium variant.

Expanded 6-Seater Range

Until now, the captain-seat configuration for the second row was limited to the HTX+ trim. With this update, Kia has made the 6-seater layout available in HTK+, HTK+(O), and HTX(O) variants. The HTK+ trim offers the layout with both the turbo-petrol DCT and diesel-AT powertrains, while the HTK+(O) is available exclusively with the turbo-DCT setup.

This expansion responds to growing customer demand for a more flexible and premium family configuration, combining comfort with practicality.

Premium Experience and Safety

Inside, the Carens Clavis continues to offer a rich, connected cabin experience with:

• 26.62-inch Dual Panoramic Display Setup
• Ambient Lighting
• One-Touch Electric Tumble Seats (second row)
• Roof-mounted Air Vents for all rows

On the safety front, the Carens Clavis features six airbags, Level 2 ADAS with 20 autonomous safety functions, Hill-start Assist Control, Rear Occupant Alert, and Rollover Sensors, reinforcing Kia’s commitment to occupant protection.

A Stronger Lineup for a Broader Market

With the introduction of the HTX(O) and wider 6-seater availability, Kia has strengthened the Carens Clavis’ position in the premium family vehicle segment. This update bridges the gap between affordability and luxury, ensuring a more accessible path for buyers looking for a feature-rich MPV with flexibility and technology at its core.
