"The Clavis is our number one pick due to its spaciousness and comfort level. You will appreciate the way it rides, smooth through to the second row. It makes a perfect family vehicle for all of those road adventures! "
"One of the great things about having a large vehicle is how easy it is to drive around town. The diesel engine performs well and provides a smooth ride, even when towing a load and for long-distance travelling. "
"When I purchased my Clavis, I was especially interested in the advanced driver assistance systems and safety features. It is so nice having the whole family together in the vehicle; however, if you have adults in the third row, keep in mind that they might feel cramped."
"The inside of the Clavis is very spacious; everything is easy to access, and it provides plenty of room for all family members. Although the fully-loaded models are very nice, the cost could be a little on the higher side. "
"When choosing a vehicle, you also want to ensure it has all of the bells and whistles... the Clavis delivers! The multiple screens, the large sunroof and all of the safety features make it feel like a much more luxurious vehicle than its price indicates. "
