Kia Carens Clavis HTX(O): what’s new?
Positioned just below the top-spec HTX+ trim, the new HTX(O) makes the 8-speaker Bose Sound system a little more accessible – this was previously reserved for just the top HTX+ trim. Other features like selectable drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport), electronic parking brake with auto hold, 17-inch alloys, panoramic sunroof, LED headlight, twin 12.25-inch screens, 360-degree camera and ambient light have been carried forward from lower trims.
Only the 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with the 7-speed DCT gearbox is available on this new HTX(O) trim. Both 6- and 7-seat configurations, however, are available.
Kia Carens Clavis: new 6-seater variants
Until now, the Carens Clavis was available with the option of middle-row captain chairs only on the top-spec HTX+ trim, and only with the turbo-petrol engine. Now, the HTK+ trim also offers the 6-seat captain chair configuration with the turbo-petrol-DCT and diesel-AT powertrains, while the HTK+(O) only gets it with the turbo-petrol DCT powertrain.
