Kia Carens Clavis EV Now Available With Battery Rental Scheme

Weeks after introducing the 6-seater variants of the Carens Clavis EV, Kia has now introduced the electric people mover with a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) option with a rental fee of Rs 3.3/km, making it more accessible for buyers. Additionally, the three-row MPV also receives a few cosmetic changes to keep things fresh.

Dual-Loan Financing Option Rolled Out

Kia has also introduced the dual financing option on the Kia Carens Clavis EV, offering separate loan accounts for the battery and the vehicle. With this plan, you can own the Carens Clavis EV starting at Rs 51,520, along with a battery payment of Rs 3.3/km. This makes owning the EV more affordable and customer-friendly.

The plan also offers flexible loan tenures of up to 60 months for the car and up to 96 months for the battery, so buyers can spread out payments easily.
