KIA Carens Clavis Review ! | Auto Live

The Kia Carens Clavis elevates the Carens nameplate with a more premium, SUV-inspired design and a significantly upgraded cabin. It stands out with sharp LED lighting, a bold grille, and stylish 17-inch alloys. Inside, the Clavis feels modern and upscale, featuring a dual-screen layout, soft-touch materials, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and strong connectivity features. Space and practicality remain its strengths, with flexible 6- and 7-seater options and a usable third row. Ride comfort is impressive, and the engine options—1.5-litre NA petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel—offer refined performance, though not class-leading in excitement. The DCT’s long-term reliability concerns and average braking feel are minor drawbacks. Overall, the Clavis is a tech-rich, family-friendly, premium MPV with SUV appeal.
