Maruti Invicto Vs Kia Carens Clavis FAQs

The ex-showroom price starts around ₹ 24.79 lakh for the base variant (Zeta Plus) and goes up to about ₹ 28.42-29.22 lakh for the top Alpha Plus variant.

It uses a strong hybrid system: a 2.0-litre petrol engine + electric motor, with e-CVT transmission.

Claimed ARAI figure is 23.24 kmpl.

Available in both 7-seater and 8-seater configurations depending on variant.

The Carens Clavis ranges from ₹11.50 lakh to ₹21.50 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as a premium MPV option in Kia’s lineup.

It was officially launched in May 2023, bringing a more luxurious variant alongside the standard Carens.

While the standard Carens is a practical, spacious, and reliable family car, the Clavis variant elevates the experience with premium interiors, advanced tech, and enhanced safety, appealing to buyers who want more than just a family MPV.

The original Carens is favored by families for its 7-seater layout, ease of driving, and efficient fuel consumption. Fleet operators also prefer it for its durability, low running costs, and strong resale value.

Clavis features modern styling cues, upgraded cabin materials, advanced infotainment, additional safety features, and a more refined driving experience, creating a luxury feel while retaining Carens’ practicality.

It’s ideal for families who want a blend of space, comfort, and premium features, as well as professionals or small business owners looking for a stylish and practical MPV that stands out on city roads.

The Clavis comes with multiple engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol (~115 PS), a 1.5L turbo petrol (~160 PS), and a 1.5L diesel (~115 PS), with transmission options including manual, iMT, and DCT.

With its slightly larger dimensions compared to the standard Carens, it remains manageable in city traffic but requires attention in tight parking spaces, while its ground clearance and ergonomics make daily commuting and weekend trips comfortable.

The petrol 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers around 16 km/l under ideal ARAI conditions. The diesel 1.5L CRDi variant is slightly more efficient, offering about 18–19 km/l. Turbo petrol trims may be slightly lower at 14–15 km/l due to higher power output.

1. For the petrol variant, using the claimed 16 km/l and petrol priced at ₹102 per litre, the cost per km is approximately: ≈₹6.38/km 2. For the diesel variant, assuming 18 km/l and diesel at ₹92/litre, cost per km is: ≈₹5.11/km 3. Turbo petrol trims, with lower mileage (~14 km/l), would cost around ₹7.29/km. These numbers help families and fleet operators estimate fuel budgets realistically.

Over 5 years (75,000 km), fuel alone for petrol comes to around ₹4.78 lakh, and for diesel ₹3.83–3.85 lakh. Adding maintenance (~₹1.2–1.25 lakh) and insurance/other expenses (~₹1.6 lakh), the total 5-year ownership cost for petrol is ₹7.5–7.6 lakh, while diesel trims could be ₹6.6–6.7 lakh.
