Asked by: Mazdaon Dec 8, 2025

I currently have two cars Hyundai Accent and Kia Carens Clavis DCT,now I want to upgrade my Accent to buy Verna Turbo Dct I am currently confused between Verna Turbo Dct,Venue Turbo Dct and Creta Turbo Dct , Kindly suggest me from above my running is nearly 1200 km on Highway and I like the design of the Verna kindly suggest me from the above cars listed which one should I Buy

If you like the Hyundai Verna, go for it. It has a larger 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (compared to the Venue's 1.0-litre unit), which it shares with your Kia Carens Clavis, and as you're aware, it delivers smooth yet strong performance. Its seats are quite comfy, and its high-speed stability is quite good too, making it quite confidence-inspiring for your highway drives.
Moreover, since sedans aren't in high demand, chances are you could get a good deal on the Verna DCT too.

Asked by: Ram rishabhon Dec 5, 2025

Which car offers the best third-row experience under โ‚น20 lakh โ€” the Maruti Suzuki XL6, Kia Carens, or Hyundai Alcazar? Iโ€™m looking for comfort for an adult of height 5โ€ฒ4โ€ณ; which has the best third-row size?

Since your priority is third row space, it would come down between the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and the Kia Carens Clavis. The Hyundai Alcazar does have a third row, but it isn't as roomy as the other two. 
The Kia Carens Clavis has the edge when it comes to features and equipment, a plush cabin with a premium feel and a more powerful engine.

However, the XL6 is an excellent value considering what it offers for the price. If you seek performance and features and don't mind paying extra, the Clavis is a very good choice.

However, if you can make do without the jazzy interior and want a predominantly spacious third row, the XL6 would be a good choice.

Asked by: Yashon Dec 5, 2025

Iโ€™m looking to buy a reliable seven-seater for six adults in my family. My use is moderate, about 10,000 km per year and I want a well-featured vehicle I can keep as my main car for 8โ€“10 years. Please suggest.

You should consider getting the Kia Carens Clavis. It's got a comfy and spacious cabin that can be had in 6 or 7 seater forms, and it comes loaded with features. 

The Carens Clavis comes with three engine options - a 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel and a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol. Since your yearly running isn't very high, consider getting one of the petrols.

Asked by: Anitaon Dec 5, 2025

Hi, Iโ€™m looking for a 7-seater petrol car within a budget of โ‚น15 lakh. Are there any options available?

Currently, there are two models that fit your requirements - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Kia Carens Clavis. Both have spacious cabins that are reasonably comfortable for seven passengers, and both come with naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engines. 

The Ertiga, however, will be more fuel efficient and, being a Maruti car, it'll also come with a stress-free ownership experience. The Kia car, on the other hand, offers many more features, and it can even be had with either a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol or 1.5-litre diesel engine options.

Asked by: Nishanton Dec 3, 2025

Hi, I am confused between the Kia Clavis NA and turbo petrol engine options. My monthly running is around 500 km in the city and on the highway, with a yearly long trip of around 5,000 km round trip. For long-term reliability, does the NA engine feel underpowered with a full load?

The Kia Carens Clavis Turbo has the clear power and torque advantage and, money no object, is the better pick if you plan to frequently travel with 7 passengers onboard.
That said, the Carens Clavisโ€™ 1.5 NA petrol engine also delivers reasonable performance. It wonโ€™t be as responsive as the turbo, and youโ€™ll feel the lack of pep on climbs with a full load, but in ordinary city and highway driving, it works just fine.

Asked by: Sharwan Kumaron Dec 2, 2025

I want to add a new vehicle to my family. Since I drive very occasionally and do not take frequent highway trips, I would prefer sticking to petrol. I want a good 6 or 7 seater within Rs 20 lakh. I prefer a no-nonsense vehicle with low maintenance, good tech, no sunroof, comfortable seating and a reliable service network. I do not like Maruti, Jeep, Mahindra and Tata. Please suggest a good vehicle.

Go for the Kia Carens Clavis 1.5 petrol. It is a spacious, practical and comfortable seven-seater, with an overall no-nonsense approach.
You might want to consider one of the lower variants, which don't have a sunroof but have other goodies like LED lights, touchscreen, etc.

Asked by: Shashikanth Sathon Dec 1, 2025

I am a first-time buyer and prefer a seven-seater. My monthly running is hardly 200 km, but once every three months, I will do a 1,000 km drive with full capacity.

There are multiple seven-seater options available across different price points - the most affordable being a Renault Triber, followed by Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Kia Carens Clavis, and so on.

Asked by: Ram Kumaron Nov 29, 2025

I currently own a 2020 Kia Sonet and a 2024 Honda Elevate, and I need a larger seven-seater. Iโ€™m deciding between the Mahindra XUV700 AX7 L and the Kia Carens Clavis HTX(O). Please provide a detailed comparison of these two.

While both the Mahindra XUV 700 and the Kia Carens Clavis are seven-seaters, their strengths are quite different. The Mahindra car is larger with a more powerful engine and a comfortable ride, and in the top AX7L variant, it is packed with features. Fuel efficiency is not its strong point in either petrol or diesel, and the third row is not ideal for long journeys.

The Kia Carens Clavis is more affordable with more efficient engines and is a better seven-seater. Thanks to a roomier and more comfortable third row. It is well-equipped too. However, while its engines are adequate, it does not feel as effortless or punchy as the XUV 700.

Your final choice should depend on what you prioritise. If you are leaning towards the XUV 700, it may be worth waiting as the facelift is expected soon with more features and updated styling.

Asked by: HK Rathon Nov 28, 2025

I am very happy with my Honda BR-V, but itโ€™s time to change the car. Which model would be the best replacement for my BR-V? I drive about 20,000 km per year.

Given that you still want a three-row MPV, you should consider the Kia Carens Clavis

This Kia car has a spacious and practical interior, it's feature-packed, and what's nice is that passengers will be comfortable in all three rows of seats. 

The Carens Clavis can be had with a 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol, a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine options. However, given that your yearly running is high, it's best to opt for the diesel, which can even be had with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox for greater convenience.

Asked by: Ravion Nov 25, 2025

I want to upgrade to a 7-seater. Most of the usage will be with the third row folded for boot space. My priorities are practicality, reliability, easy maintenance, and features. Budget is up to โ‚น25 lakh (max). I need easy ingress and egress and good comfort for three adults in the second row. Usage is mostly city driving (around 70 km per week) with occasional 1,000 km highway family trips. Automatic is preferred. I have shortlisted the Carens Clavis, Alcazar, and XUV700. I have had a great ownership experience with my Hyundai Grand i10 for 50,000 km.

Out of the three models you have shortlisted, the Kia Carens Clavis makes a lot of sense for your usage. The Carens Clavis, despite being smaller than the XUV700, is the more practical car of the two.
In your budget, you get the top HTX(O) variant with the DCT transmission, and it will be easy to drive in the city while having enough power for highway use as well. So far, despite being a young brand in India, Kia cars have generally proven to be reliable, and we have not heard any major complaints about ownership experience or reliability issues.
If you want a more powerful car and are tilting towards the Mahindra XUV700, then we would suggest waiting for the facelift, which is right around the corner and is expected to bring cosmetic updates and feature additions.
