The Kia Carens is a great family car with decent fuel economy and a spacious third row. Overall, it's a good value.

The Kia Clavis has good safety features and is stylish. It's very comfortable and offers ample useful space. The car's design is dynamic, and the color options are cool. It's a great product from Kia, available in petrol, diesel, and EV variants.

I like the features and specifications, especially the ADAS level 2. The car is enjoyable to drive overall.

After driving about 1500 kms, I find this car to be the best in its price range. I recommend it to everyone, and the mileage is around 19.5 km/l.

Best comfort, pickup, and interior! The Kia Carens Clavis is an amazing comeback. The boot space is impressive, and it's better than competitors like Toyota Rumion and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The exterior and interior both shine.

I mainly drive the Kia Clavis for highway trips, and it handles bad roads excellently. The cabin is spacious and well-built, with smooth engine performance and easy steering.

Fabulous car! Comfort and styling are top-notch, with essential safety features like 6 airbags and parking sensors. Seven passengers can sit comfortably, and even my tall father and I found the third row spacious. The mileage is a concern, but overall, it's superb for family use.

I am planning to buy a new 7-seater and am confused between the Kia Carens Clavis and Maruti Ertiga, both with naturally aspirated petrol engines. I do not like the new air-conditioning setup in the Ertiga. Could you advise on the Carens Clavis in terms of mileage, reliability, and long-term service costs?

The Kia Carens Clavis is a great 7-seater. It is very spacious, and even tall adults can sit in the last row without any issue. The cabin feels very premium, with high-quality materials used, and even the lower variants offer impressive standard equipment, which makes the entry-level 1.5-litre petrol versions excellent value for money.The 1.5L petrol engine is smooth and refined, and in our tests, it accelerated quickly than the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, indicating better drivability too. This engine is shared with the Carens, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Verna, and it has been quite reliable so far. Service and maintenance costs are also on par with, or even lower than, its rivals.

I’m planning to buy either the Kia Carens Clavis or the Hyundai Alcazar. Please advise which one would be better.

Assuming you’re considering these two models because they offer a third row of seats, the Kia Carens Clavis would be the better choice.This Kia car offers easier access to the third row thanks to its electric one-touch tumble function, and space and comfort at the back are superior. Carens Clavis and Hyundai Alcazar share their turbo-petrol and diesel engines, so there isn’t much difference in performance.

Which 7-seater would you choose for your family?

I am planning to buy a car with a factory-fitted CNG kit, an automatic transmission, and cruise control within a budget of Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest some options.

There are quite a few options that would meet your requirements, so its hard to pinpoint a specific model without knowing a bit more about your requirements and driving conditions. If you are looking for a city car then pick the Tata Punch, the compact dimensions are easy to manage in tight city traffic and the elevated driving position gives you a decent view outside. If however you want something bigger and with more space then the Maruti Suzuki Dzire would be a good option as you will have more rear space as well as a larger boot. Both cars will fit well within your budget. If you want a larger CNG car then you will have to settle for a manual and the a model like the Kia Carens Clavis or the Maruti Victoris.

I’m planning to buy a seven-seater and don’t have a particular preference between an MPV and an SUV. I’ve been looking at the Hyundai Alcazar and Tata Safari petrol as options. I’d appreciate your advice on these cars.

We would recommend the Kia Carens Clavis instead of your mentioned choices. Assuming the third row will be used frequently, the Clavis features better space and comfort compared to the Alcazar and Safari. The Clavis also has a better ride than both, and with three rows up, it has decent space behind the backrests for soft luggage. You also get a choice of powertrains between EV, petrol and diesel. Performance of the Clavis is strong even with three rows full, and being a Kia, the equipment and features on offer are very good. If you can stretch your budget, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is also a very strong choice. Gets a roomy cabin with a better third row than the Alcazar and Safari, and superb ride quality and engine performance. Both the petrol and diesel engines are powerful and refined, and it makes for a strong package.
