Kia Carens Clavis HTX E: What’s new?

Over the base HTK+ trim, the new HTX E trim adds a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting, leatherette upholstery, a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel, tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, a retractable seatback table, a voice-operated auto up/down feature for all windows, LED interior lights, an anti-glare interior rearview mirror (IRVM) and an air purifier. The interior comes finished in a dual-tone beige and navy blue theme, while the Extended Range variant also gets 17-inch alloy wheels.

These features were previously offered on the higher-spec HTX trim. The only difference between the new HTX E and the HTX trims is that the latter gets the ADAS suite. The feature list on the top-spec HTX+ trim remains unchanged.
