KIA Carens Clavis - Exterior & Interior
The Clavis features an updated front fascia, showcasing a new Digital Tiger Nose grille, upgraded LED headlamps with connected LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and a redesigned hood. The side profile maintains a similar silhouette, but now comes with 17-inch alloy wheels in a new dual-tone diamond cut pattern. At the rear, the Clavis is equipped with a new connected LED taillight and a dual-tone bumper. The brand has launched the Clavis in eight color options: Ivory Silver Gloss, Pewter Olive, Imperial Blue, Glacier White Pearl, Gravity Grey, Sparkling Silver, Aurora Black Pearl, and Clear White.
The interior has received significant updates, featuring a new dashboard with a dual-tone finish and fabric materials. It includes a panoramic display that consists of a 12.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with a 12.25-inch digital instrument console. Additionally, it gets a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, a BOSE sound system, air purifier, wireless charging, ventilated seats, and cooled cup holders, among others.
The safety features have also been enhanced with the incorporation of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which includes 20 different features. The safety package now comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill-hold assist, all-disc brakes, and more.
KIA Carens Clavis - Engine & Transmission
The Clavis offers the same engine options as the Carens. It includes a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 113 bhp and 144 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The second engine option is a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine that delivers 158 bhp and 253 Nm of peak torque. This engine features a new 6-speed manual transmission option, as well as the existing 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT options. Lastly, there is a 1.5-liter diesel engine that also produces 113 bhp, but generates 250 Nm of peak torque. This engine can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Verdict
The Kia Carens Clavis is a significant upgrade over the regular Carens. It offers a better-looking exterior and a more feature-loaded interior, making it feel more premium. The brand has priced the MPV well, and the variant lineup is solid. However, Kia could have offered the diesel automatic in more variants to give customers greater flexibility. The Clavis will compete with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki XL6, certain variants of the Hyundai Alcazar, and the MG Hector Plus.
