Kia Carnival Hybrid to get 1.6L turbo-petrol strong hybrid engine Carens and Carens Clavis CNG to get 1.5L NA petrol engine
Kia India has started accepting pre-bookings for its Carens CNG, Carens Clavis CNG and Carnival Hybrid. These three models were recently showcased at Kia Inspiration Day. The introduction of CNG options for the Carens and Carens Clavis, alongside a Hybrid powertrain for the Carnival Limousine, will enable customers to choose what best suits their individual mobility requirements.
Kia Carens and Carens Clavis CNG
The Carens and Carens Clavis CNG, based on G1.5 6MT, will feature a factory-fitted CNG kit with a 60-litre tank capacity. Both Carens CNG and Carens Clavis CNG variants also feature 16-inch wheels and 16-inch disc brakes, along with CNG-specific engine calibration and modified suspension. A CNG Fuel Change Switch and 4.2-inch Colour TFT MID with CNG DTE Logic further enhance the CNG experience, while a modified third-row Seat-Back Frame improves the recline angle for added passenger comfort in both models.
The Carens CNG will be available in Premium (O) G1.5 6MT, while the Carens Clavis CNG will be offered in HTE and HTE (O) G1.5 6MT. For B2B (business-to-business) and commercial mobility solutions, the Carens CNG will be available on M-Drive G1.5 6MT, while the Carens Clavis CNG will be available in HTM G1.5 6MT.
Both models will use a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. In CNG mode, the engine produces 95bhp and 123Nm of torque. The CNG version will use a single CNG cylinder with a 60-litre capacity.
Kia Carnival Hybrid
The Carnival Hybrid is based on G1.6T HEV 6AT, and will be offered on the Limousine+ trim. The hybrid model comes fitted with 18-inch (45.72 cm) Crystal Cut Dual Tone Aero Alloy Wheels, Active Air Flaps (AAF) and Virtual Engine Sound System (VESS). It also features a Smart Pure Air Purifier with AQI Display, Retractable, Height-Adjustable Seat Back Tables with Wireless Charging, Monotone Ambient Lighting and Cup Holders, and Leatherette-Wrapped door trims.
It will be powered by the same 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine that powers the Sorento hybrid. This engine produces 180hp and 265Nm of torque. The engine will be paired with an electric motor that develops 73.4hp and 30.4Nm of torque. It produces 8.4hp and 40Nm more than the Sorento’s electric motor. The hybrid system is paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It will come with all-wheel drive system.
