Auto news India - Kia Carens Clavis news

The Clavis and Maruti XL6 are both premium MPVs, but the Clavis gives you more features and engine options, while the XL6 stands out for its value for money quotient

New Kia Carens Clavis and Tata Altroz facelift has been launched in the past week while there have been multiple official updates on launch dates and price hikes

The top variants of both the cars in this comparison have a similar price point. We find out which one is the better option

The Maruti Ertiga comes at a more affordable price, but it misses out on a lot of amenities that are offered with the new Carens Clavis

The Kia Carens Clavis is on sale alongside the existing Kia Carens that is available in a single Premium (O) variant

The Kia Carens Clavis will be offered in 7 broad variants: HTE, HTE (O), HTK, HTK Plus, HTK Plus (O), HTX and HTX Plus

From a heap of convenience and comfort features to additional safety tech, the Carens Clavis is more loaded and a more premium offering than the Ertiga

If you are opting for the diesel engine with the Kia Carens Clavis, the HTX is the most premium variant that money can buy

The Kia Carens Clavis will be offered in seven broad variants, with prices expected to start from Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom)

While the new exterior and interior design makes it look more attractive than before, the cabin still lacks the quality found in the Seltos and Sonet

The HTK Plus is the only variant in the entire Clavis lineup to come with a diesel-automatic powertrain

We also spotted a Volkswagen 7-seater testing on Indian roads, besides two international updates on made-in-India Maruti cars

The Kia Carens Clavis is offered with a choice of three engine options and the diesel is obviously the most fuel-efficient of the lot

The diesel-powered Kia Carens Clavis gets a smaller single-pane sunroof, while the naturally aspirated petrol variant doesn’t get this feature

The Carens Clavis brings noticeable design updates over the existing Carens MPV. That made us ask our Instagram followers if they like it or not
