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.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Space. A genuine 5-seater sedan; gobbles up the family happily
- Fuel efficiency. Mild-hybrid tech on petrol ensures the wallet remains fat
- Well-equipped lower variants. You don’t really have to buy the top-spec for a premium experience
- Value for money. Aggressive pricing undercuts most of its competition

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.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Misses out on a few good to have features such as a sunroof, six airbags, etc
- Automatic is an old 4-speed torque converter.
