Explore all angles of the Kia Carens Clavis EV with detailed images of its exterior, interior, and features.

Catch our video coverage of the upcoming Kia Carens Clavis EV, highlighting its bold design, proportions and modern features for MPV buyers. Our Walkarounds showcase interior layout, exterior styling and powertrain details.

The Carens Clavis EV comes in 6 colour options. Each shade complements its bold styling.

The Kia Carens Clavis EV would be a great choice for you. It is hugely practical with a spacious cabin, the EV powertrain is smooth and efficient, and it isn't uncomfortably large to drive as a daily car.

It gets a feature-rich cabin, well-sorted ergonomics, comfy ride and seats and Kia's reliability and after-sales. It is a hassle-free car to own, and one that is our top recommendation.

Buying a diesel does have some level of uncertainty given the constant negativity around it, be it from official statements as to its certified life or restrictions on its usage on heavy air pollution days.

Thus, if you are open to an electric, we would advise you to go ahead with this. Furthermore, your daily running is low, and even your occasional long distances are 300kms which should be manageable with something like the Kia Carens Clavis EV.

The Clavis EV also has a nice and premium interior and is very well equipped in typical Kia fashion. The recently launched Mahindra XEV 9S is also a very good option, again with a premium interior and a good equipment list.

There's currently only one 7-seater EV under Rs 26 lakh - the Kia Carens Clavis EV.

The Kia Carens Clavis EV comes with two battery pack options – a 42kWh unit with an ARAI-claimed range of 404km and a 51.4kWh unit with an ARAI-certified range of 490km. The smaller battery pack powers a 135hp electric motor, while the larger battery pack gets a 171hp unit.

This Kia car has a comfy cabin and comes with the latest features, like a sunroof, 360-degree camera, ADAS tech, ventilated front seats and much more. Prices for the Kia Carens Clavis EV range from Rs 17.99 lakh to Rs 24.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

The type of powertrain depends on your usage. If you cover 50km daily in the city and the car will mostly be used in the city, then an electric car makes sense. The Kia Carens Clavis EV is a good choice as it has a good range and spacious seating for 7.

However, if you plan on doing outstation trips often, then a diesel will be a better choice. The Mahindra Scorpio N has good performance and is comfy, but not as spacious as the XUV700.

The Mahindra XUV700 would be a better buy than the Scorpio N in your case.

Since you prefer an MPV and the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid is beyond your budget, you should consider the Kia Carens Clavis.

The Kia Carens Clavis is also comfortable for up to seven passengers, and with the third row folded down, you should have similar cargo space to the Honda BR-V. This Kia car also comes feature-packed, and it can be had with three engines - a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel. Furthermore, it can even be had as a full electric in the form of the Carens Clavis EV.

We'd strongly advise you to get a 7-seat EV for times when more family members join in. Of the current options, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is a great option. It is very smooth, offers good performance, and the flexible seating means you can maximise middle row space (when there's only 4 on board) or make more space for the last row (when there are 6 or 7 passengers on board).

Upcoming 7-seat options include the Mahindra XEV 9S, which will be launched on November 25. Our review of the model goes live later this month. Stay tuned to know if it fits your needs!

The Hyundai Creta Electric with the long-range battery is a very good option that has features, good range and comfort. If you want more space, the Kia Carens Clavis EV has the same powertrain as the Creta and features set too. Either one of these two will be good.

Considering your limited usage and predominantly city driving, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is a good choice. It costs around ₹2 lakh more for similar features, but as an EV, it is smooth, effortless to drive, and offers a comfortable ride quality. The Mahindra XUV700 EV (XEV 7e) still has no confirmed launch timeline.

I plan to sell my car and buy a new one. I was considering the Innova HyCross hybrid, but it is going over budget. I am not a frequent road-trip person, maybe one or two trips a year. My primary requirement is that the boot space should be close to the BR-V. Suggestions?
