Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens Clavis
- The new design looks more SUVish. Full-LED lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails add to the appeal.
- Loaded with features: twin 12.3-inch displays, 8-speaker BOSE branded audio system, 360° camera, front seat ventilation, wireless charging — the works!
- Space. One of the select few cars that can accommodate 6/7 adults with relative ease.
Kia Seltos
- Plenty of charging options for the entire family: 5 USB type-C ports with front wireless phone charging
- Feature-rich: Dual 12.3-inch displays, panoramic sunroof, 8-speaker Bose sound system, 360-degree camera and Level-2 ADAS
- Engine and transmission options: Gets three engines, including a diesel, each with the option of a manual or automatic transmission
- Ride quality: Feels comfortable with improved cushioning than before

Kia Carens Clavis
- No CVT option with the non-turbo petrol engine. Diesel-automatic is available in a single variant.
- Features such as wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and rear seat ventilation could have been offered with the top-variants.
- ADAS is offered only with the turbo-petrol engine + DCT combination in the top model.
Kia Seltos
- Not as poised around a corner as before: Comfy suspension has reduced the sharpness in handling
- Polarising looks: New bold design is a big departure from the earlier sharp and sporty look
- Fuel efficiency with the turbo-petrol and diesel-automatic won’t be great
