Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Multiple engine options: Petrol, diesel and CNG
- Covers all basics: 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, steering mounted controls, power windows, and day/night IRVM
Nissan Gravite
- Good Space and Packaging: Sliding and reclining second row, a removable third row, and tumble-fold seats give it good space and flexibility only a few cars have at this price point.
- Covers All The Basics: For a 7-seater priced less than some small hatchbacks, the Gravite covers all the essentials, including a good infotainment package.
- Easy to drive: Small footprint, light steering, and light clutch make for a beginner-friendly package
- Comfortable For All: Absorbs shocks with ease, settles quickly, and limits body roll to keep all passengers comfortable.

Kia Carens
- No automatic transmission
- Higher variants have been discontinued due to new Carens Clavis
Nissan Gravite
- Modest powertrain: The sole 1-litre NA petrol engine offers average performance levels, and the low engine refinement can be irritating. Gravite is best driven in a relaxed manner.
- Feature misses: Equipment like auto climate control, a better quality rear view camera, and alloy wheels are sorely missed.
