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.
Mahindra XEV 9S
- Striking Design: Looks premium and modern thanks to its lighting setup.
- Feature Rich: Gets all the features you can expect from a car of this price. No major misses.
- Highway Friendly: 500 km of real world range is more than enough for intercity commutes.

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.
Mahindra XEV 9S
- Sub-par Interior Quality: Not a premium as expected
- Low Boot Space: Barely any space left when all three rows are up.
