Prices of Kia’s all-electric offerings, namely, the Carens Clavis EV, EV6, and EV9 have not been affected as no changes have been made in the tax applicable to EVs.

Kia Cars’ Rivals
While the Kia Sonet and Syros rival sub-4m SUVs such as the Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Renault Kiger, the Kia Seltos takes on compact SUVs including the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, and Hyundai Creta.
The Carens and Carens Clavis go up against the likes of the Maruti Ertiga, Toyota Rumion, and the Toyota Innova Crysta and Hycross duo. Kia’s premium MPV, the Carnival, is a premium alternative to the Toyota Innova Hycross and Maruti Invicto, while also serving as an affordable option to the Lexus LM and Toyota Vellfire.
