Mumbai. Kia has launched its much-awaited Kia Carens 2025 in India, and it’s making everyone sit up and take notice. The new model, called Carens Clavis, came out on May 23, 2025, and starts at a price of ₹11.50 lakh (ex-showroom). This 7-seater MPV is perfect for families, with its fancy looks, modern features, and strong engines. Kia has added so many new things to this car that it feels more premium than ever before. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this new Carens special.
Stylish Look That Turns Heads
The Kia Carens 2025 looks very different from the older model. It has a bold new front with a shiny digital radiator grille and sleek LED headlights that make it look modern. The back has new LED tail lights connected by a light bar, giving it a classy touch. There’s also a sporty rear spoiler with a stop lamp that adds to its style. The car comes in eight colors, like Super White and Metallic Silver, which look very smart. With 16-inch alloy wheels and a shark fin antenna, this MPV looks ready for the city and highways both.
Powerful Engines with Good Mileage
The Carens 2025 comes with three engine choices – two petrol and one diesel – so you can pick what suits you best. The 1.5-liter petrol engine gives 115 horsepower, while the 1.5-liter turbo-petrol gives 160 horsepower. The diesel engine, also 1.5 liters, gives 116 horsepower. Mileage is between 15.95 to 19.54 kmpl, depending on the engine you choose. You can get it with a 6-speed manual, automatic, or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. This makes the car good for both city drives and long trips.

Fancy Features for Comfort and Safety
Inside, the Carens 2025 feels like a luxury car. It has a big 12.3-inch touchscreen in the top models, where you can use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There’s also a Bose 8-speaker sound system for amazing music. The seats are soft with semi-leather covers, and the second row can slide or fold easily. For safety, it has 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS, which includes auto braking and blind-spot alerts. Other things like wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, and roof AC vents make every ride comfortable for everyone.
Price That Fits Your Budget
The Kia Carens 2025 starts at ₹11.50 lakh and goes up to ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top model. It comes in seven variants, so you can choose one that fits your pocket. This price makes it a strong rival to cars like Maruti XL6, Toyota Rumion, and Hyundai Alcazar. Kia has sold over 2 lakh units of Carens since its first launch, and this new model is already getting a lot of love. Bookings are open at Kia showrooms, and some cities even have it ready for delivery right away.
Is This the Right Car for You?
The Kia Carens 2025 is a great choice for families who want a stylish, safe, and feature-packed MPV. Its new look, strong engines, and modern tech make it stand out in the market. However, some people say the third-row seats can be a bit tight for adults on long drives, and parking in small spaces might be tricky because of its size. Still, with its premium features and good price, the Carens 2025 is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a family car that does it all.
