The Kia Carens Clavis recently passed through the long-term fleet for a short testing stint, and its real-world fuel-efficiency assessment was one of the first tests it undertook. The diesel-manual version of the Carens Clavis has an ARAI-certified mileage of 19.54 km/l, according to Kia.
- Brand Said 19.54 km/L
- Diesel Modal starting Price Rs. 13 Lakh
In fact, the Carens Clavis diesel range starts at Rs. 13 lakh while the diesel variant of the HTX variant that we tested is priced at Rs. 18.78 lakh (ex-showroom). The MPV is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel that churns out 114bhp and 250Nm of torque and comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, making it a realistic option for family buyers in need of performance and efficiency.

On the city run, the Carens Clavis returned a fuel efficiency of 16.28 kmpl, which clearly shows that when it is crawling through slow-moving city traffic, it does it with aplomb. But the fuel efficiency numbers on the highway revealed the true potential of the MPV and it returned an impressive 23.18 kmpl.
This resulted in a real-world mileage figure of 18.01kmpl overall (combined city and highway) for the Carens Clavis which is impressively close to the brand’s claim. These figures showcase the capabilities and efficiency of the MPV, making it a truly enticing offering in the competitive MPV space.
