Ahead of the festive season, Kia India has given the Carens Clavis lineup a significant refresh, introducing new mid-spec variants for the MPV while also extending a lifetime battery warranty to the Carens Clavis EV. The move broadens the appeal of the Clavis range across both ICE and electric buyers, with the EV becoming the second Kia model after the Syros EV to offer the extended battery cover.

The lifetime battery warranty applies to the first private owner of a new Kia Carens Clavis EV purchased from August 1, 2026, offering 15 years of unlimited-kilometre coverage. For commercial and fleet customers, as well as subsequent owners, Kia will continue to offer its standard battery warranty of eight years or 1.6 lakh km, whichever is earlier.
