Kia Carens CNG, Carens Clavis CNG India Launch Soon
Kia India has confirmed CNG versions of the Carens and Carens Clavis for the Indian market. The announcement was made at the launch of the Kia Sorento , with the company confirming that both MPVs will get a factory-fitted CNG setup based on the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. At the event the automaker also showcased the Carens Clavis CNG. The company has not yet announced the launch date, prices or variant-wise details. However, Kia has revealed several specifications of the upcoming CNG models.
Kia Carens CNG & Carens Clavis CNG: Expected Powertrain
The Kia Carens and Carens Clavis CNG will use a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. In CNG mode, the engine will produce around 95bhp and 123Nm of peak torque. The version is expected to be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The upcoming models will use a factory-fitted CNG system, rather than a dealer- or aftermarket-installed kit. Kia has previously offered dealer-fitted CNG kits for the Carens in select locations.
Kia Carens CNG & Carens Clavis CNG: Expected Upgrades
The addition of the CNG cylinder has resulted in changes to the mechanical setup of the MPVs. Kia has likely revised the suspension tuning and upgraded the front disc brakes to account for the additional weight of the CNG system.
Kia Carens Clavis CNG: Expected Features
The Carens Clavis CNG displayed by Kia featured equipment such as projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED light bars at the front and rear, LED tail lamps, fog lamps and dual-tone alloy wheels.
On the inside, the MPV gets a fully digital instrument cluster with a CNG-level display and a dedicated switch for changing between petrol and CNG modes.
Other visible equipment includes a two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, manual air conditioning, hill-hold control and a basic infotainment system. The displayed vehicle also featured a dual-tone cabin with blue dashboard inserts.
Kia Carens CNG, Carens Clavis CNG: Expected Price & Launch Date
Kia has not announced the official launch date or prices of the Carens and Carens Clavis CNG yet. However, the CNG models are expected to be launched in India during the festive season. The CNG iterations of the Carens and Carens Clavis will command a premium over their petrol versions.
