The Kia Carens Clavis is a high-end family MPV that focuses on space, convenience, and technology.
Three different engines are available for the Clavis: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated, a 1.5-liter turbocharged, and a 1.5-liter diesel.
Depending on the variant, there are three different transmission options: dual clutch automatic, torque converter automatic, and manual.
The naturally aspirated petrol is good for city driving, the turbo petrol gives you more power when you need it, and the diesel has good torque for highway and full-load driving.
The overall performance is set up for driving that is smooth and easy.
Flexible seating arrangements, a panoramic sunroof, and two digital displays on upper trims are all features of the roomy cabin.
For everyday family use, convenience is an important point in every row.
Safety features include several airbags, ABS with EBD, automated stability management, and Level-2 ADAS on higher-end models for extra peace of mind.
The boot capacity is still useful for everyday needs, especially when the third row is folded, and the long wheelbase assists in freeing up cabin space.
Some of the best features are a panoramic sunroof, two 12.3-inch screens, a high-end sound system, wireless connectivity, spacious front seats, and integrated car technology.
