6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
City Driving
The automatic transmission makes stop-and-go traffic easy to manage. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.
Highway Performance
158 bhp provides confident highway cruising with adequate overtaking power. Turbo power kicks in nicely at mid-range, making highway merges confident.
Ride & Comfort
Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways. 350L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.
7. Community Sentiment
Community verdict for Kia Carens Clavis: Sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Owners frequently praise value for money, but express concern about concern.
Recent Owner Reviews
20 reviews"Better Than Ertiga: At this price point is a very good option. It is better than Ertiga . It has a good comfort and decent space in the third row seat .but while driving with 7 person it feel under power in the 1.5 litre petrol engine It ac is very powerful 😄 and it is very good I am happy with this ac and it is manuals fold mirror 🪞 which is not good"
"Carens Clavis: Service costs are higher than expected for a Korean brand. The promise of value-for-money fades at the service center."
"My Kia Carens: My Pride: Fantastic vehicle in its range & a car that makes heads turn twice for a second look. The Kia Carens Clavis stands out among the crowd and gives a proud feeling to the owner. It always attracts compliments from family and friends. Driving it is sure pleasure and it makes one want to go out and drive more."
"Best Comfort, Pickup And Interior Is Just Like A Wow.. What A Come Back By Kia Carens Clavis. Relaxation, Boot Space Is As Usual.: Bestest vehicle ever, better than toyota rumion, maruti suzuki ertiga as well.. Kia hits everytime as a competitor.. kia carens clavis is a competitor of toyota innova, rumion, innova hycross. Renault triber is too far from competing others in any segment. But clavis is better than carens (old model). Exterior or interior in both way."
"Excellent Choice For A 6: Excellent choice for a 6 members family. Fuel efficient and excellent performance. Overall its a very good opinion for a middle class family. I personally like the blue colour which i deside to buy. The top end varients are considered expensive by some and there are concerns that the pricing might be higher than perceived value"
"Kia Clavis Is Looking Tremendous.: Kia clavis is looking tremendous. This better than Ertiga in this price range and very comfortable seats and sufficient space between the seats. Kia Clavis is fully loaded in features and sufficient boot space. One thing is very good which is AC vent is available on the last back sitting row. Overall Kia clavis is value for money."
"Bahot Hi Achi Car Banai Hai Kia Ne: Hamko bahot hi acha laga or eski milage to 22 se upar hi deti hai agar 80 ke speed me drive kro to eske tulana me maruti kuchh bhi nhi hai ye 1 bahot hi achi car hai esko ham 5 me 5 number de sakte hai or eski service bhi bahot mamuli aati hai baki car ke mamale me bahot kam hai hum eski jitni tarif kare kam hau ye money for value car hai"

"Premium Mpv: Great car with good features, if you are going with the colour choose, pick ivory silver or any other colours rather than black, it requires alot of maintenance and dusts are clearly visible on the car from a good distance. The looks of this car is very premium and the third row is usable ( 2 adults can sit comfortably ). The safety is also up to date with all the necessary features. Overall a great car for family."
"Amazing Features: Overall a complete family car with some good styling features. better is the manual option rather than an automatic. In automatic there is no full potential of the car . But it depends on the usage of the car and if it's a city drive of occasion. for city drive better to go with the automatic"
"Fabulous Car !: Fabulous car, comfort and styling is top notch with all the important safety features like 6 airbags, abs, parkings censors, etc. 7 passengers can sit comfortably and the third row is usable and spacious. My father is 6'2 and I am 5'8, we both sat at the third row and it was comfortable. only the mileage should be looked upon as a worry... otherwise it's a superb car, great for family."
"Really I Like This Car Looks Good And Designawesom: Nice car for daily and office using best mileage and best engine performance tyre size is comfortable for off roading and highway patch and staring is very light and just tilt and telescopic adjustment. Boot space is large and big keeping for 3/4 Big bag ' mirror is ok like aria cover. And last this segment it's car is ok for other brands car 💕"

"Right Choice On Right Time (Clavis): We were waiting for the arrival of Kia Carens Clavis with its new facelift design. Since we have very limited use of car, we bought HTE (O) Petrol. We found it value for money. Not such an issue of mileage as we read in reviews. We noticed 14-15 Kms/L mileage on highway and 10-11 on rough. Very comfirtable, spacious and nice looking car. We loves Kia. Service is also good."
