Kia has officially launched its new electric MPV, the Carens Clavis EV, at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹17.99 lakh for the base HTK Plus Electric variant.
If you plan to buy it in Delhi, you should also consider extra charges like ₹62,000 for insurance and around ₹24,000 for TCS. Adding these costs, the on-road price of the Kia Carens Clavis EV comes to nearly ₹18.85 lakh.
EMI with ₹3 Lakh Down Payment
One of the biggest concerns for buyers of electric cars is affordability. Kia has made this easier by offering flexible finance options. If you make a down payment of ₹3 lakh, you will need to finance around ₹15.85 lakh through a bank loan.
With a 7-year loan tenure at 9% interest, the monthly EMI works out to approximately ₹23,220. This makes owning the Carens Clavis EV more accessible, as you can bring home this premium electric MPV with a manageable monthly outflow.
Total Cost with Interest
While the EMI looks attractive, it’s also important to consider the overall cost. Over 7 years, you will pay about ₹6.44 lakh as interest on the loan. Adding this to the ex-showroom price and other on-road expenses, the total cost of ownership for the Kia Carens Clavis EV comes to around ₹25.29 lakh.
Competition in the Market
The Carens Clavis EV enters a segment that is becoming increasingly competitive in India. Its direct rival is the BYD EMax 7, but it will also face tough competition from models like MG Windsor EV, Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, and Mahindra BE6. With its MPV practicality and competitive pricing, Kia aims to position it as a value-for-money premium electric option.
