Trending Questions on Kia Carens Clavis EV - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a new 7-seater EV and am confused between the XEV 9S and the Harrier EV. I plan to go on long trips and am unsure whether to choose an EV or an ICE vehicle. I also prefer a car without a sunroof. Please advise.
I have been using a Verna Diesel 1.6-litre for the past 8 years, and it has served me well in terms of fuel efficiency. My average monthly running is around 2,500km. Due to the diesel ban in Delhi NCR and the need for a more comfortable car, I am now looking to switch to an EV (XEV 9S or the Harrier EV). I am not very particular about having too many features. I have been waiting for bookings to open for the XEV 9S, but with the launch of the new Seltos, should I consider that as well?
I am looking for my first EV car. My requirements are a spacious cabin, a usable 3rd row, and good storage space that can fit a folded wheelchair, along with reliable service - please suggest suitable options. Thank you.
Given your requirements, the only options that are not wildly expensive are the Mahindra XEV 9S and the Kia Carens Clavis EV. Both are three-row SUVs that are pretty spacious and practical, but they differ in what they offer.
The Mahindra car comes across as the more premium of the two. It’s larger, has an imposing road presence and comes packed with technology and features. It wins the spec-sheet war and is a very comfortable, compelling option. However, once you consider how the car will be used, the Kia Carens EV could be the better everyday car.
One of the most significant factors is access to the cabin. The Carens Clavis EV sits lower, making getting in and out easier. Your requirement for a wheelchair suggests that someone with limited mobility will be using the car, and this is why the step-in height becomes something you notice every single day and a very important factor.
Also, the third row, too, is slightly more practical and usable in the Kia car. When the third row is folded down, the boot is spacious enough to accommodate a wheelchair. The lower floor also makes loading a wheelchair easier.
On the ownership side, Mahindra’s EVs have made rapid progress and the products are far more polished than before, but some owners still report software-related hiccups. Kia’s EVs, by comparison, are better sorted, suggesting a more predictable ownership experience.
Both cars are easy to drive; the XEV 9S offers a better ride and is more refined, but the Carens Clavis EV feels less cumbersome in tight spaces.
I already own a Creta Electric and am now a fan of electric vehicles. I need a new 7-seater for around ₹22-24 lakh. My running will be very low - about 500 km per month, plus 3-4 long trips a year of around 350 km one way. I’m confused between the Mahindra 7XO and the 9S (2P pack, 70 kWh), as they seem very similar, and the decision will mostly depend on final pricing. Which one should I buy? Are there any other options you can suggest?
The Mahindra XEV 9S is a large car, but its last row isn't comfortable for adults over long drives. Hence, if you need a comfortable seven-seater for long drives, consider the Turbo petrol versions of the Kia Carens Clavis and Tata Safari instead.
There's also the Kia Carens Clavis EV in this range, which shares its battery+motor with the Creta Electric. However, on your 350km+ highway drives, you will have to stop and charge once, as its real-world highway range is about 345km as per our tests
I currently use a 2016 Hyundai Grand i10 and have completed around 1,05,000km. I now want to buy a 7-seater EV at an affordable price. Please suggest the best option for me.
I’m looking for a 7-seater EV for daily commuting and occasional long trips. My immediate family is four people, but since my extended family often visits, I need the extra seating.
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.
Hi, my daily commute is about 50 km, with one longer trip of 200–300 km each month. I’m looking to buy a new car (preferably an EV or diesel) with a budget of ₹18–25 lakh and want premium looks and features. Is it worth buying an EV now, or is choosing a diesel still a wise decision? Please advise.
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.
