Trending Questions on Kia Carens Clavis EV - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Rajeshon Dec 21, 2025

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.

Sadly, there are very few options for 7-seat EVs. The most affordable option is the Kia Carens Clavis EV, which starts at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). While it is on the pricier side, the Carens Clavis EV is an excellent electric car. It's smooth and powerful, and scores really well with comfy enough seating for up to 7 passengers.
Carens Clavis aside, the new Mahindra XEV 9S is another option if you are looking for a 7-seat EV. Prices start at Rs 19.95 lakh.

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.

Asked by: ZUshsjon Nov 25, 2025

I want to sell my Kia Carens and buy the cheapest electric 7-seater within a budget of ₹26 lakh. I want good features, ample space, and a premium feel. Please suggest.

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).

I want to buy a high-seated 7-seater car like the Scorpio N (diesel manual). My daily running is around 50 km, but my family wants to buy an EV for the 50 km per day drive. Since we have mixed opinions, what would be the better decision, an EV or a diesel?

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.

Asked by: Mithilon Nov 19, 2025

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?

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.

I plan to buy an EV before June 2026. My daily usage is around 100 km (about 2,500 km per month). I am confused between a 5-seater and a 7-seater — we usually travel as 4 family members, but parents or my mother-in-law join occasionally, so a 7-seater may be useful. My budget is ₹15–25 lakh. The Clavis EV seems suitable, and I’ve heard about upcoming EVs like the XUV700 EV, Sierra EV, and new Suzuki, Toyota and Honda EVs, along with current options like the Harrier EV, Nexon EV and MG Windsor/ZS EV. Please suggest the right option, clarify whether I should pick a 5-seater or 7-seater, the best time to buy (including tax relaxation benefits), and whether PY/BH registration is cheaper.

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!

Asked by: Sunil satheon Oct 30, 2025

I want to buy an electric SUV in the ₹20-22 lakh range — which is the best option?

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.
