The Kia Carens Clavis EV is the brand's most affordable electric car as well. The interested customers for this electric MPV can now book the car at a token amount of ₹25,000.

The EV is available in variants like HTK+, HTX, HTX ER, and HTX+ ER. The electric MPV is available in standard and extended range variants.
