- While both Kia and Tata EVs look futuristic, the Harrier EV Fearless Plus stands out with its smart digital DRLs with welcome and goodbye animations.
-
Both the top-spec Kia Carens Clavis EV and the mid-spec Harrier EV come with multi-colour ambient lighting, the Harrier EV also gets the mood lighting for panoramic sunroof.
-
Other features on board the Carens Clavis EV HTX Plus includes dual 12.3-inch screens, panoramic sunroof, 8-speaker Bose sound system, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology.
-
The Harrier EV Fearless Plus additionally gets a 10-speaker JBL sound system, terrain modes, and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V). However, the digital driver’s display on the Harrier EV is a smaller 10.25-inch unit.
-
Both Kia and Tata EVs are very neck-to-neck in terms of safety features. While Harrier EV Fearless Plus offers an additional knee airbag, it misses out on level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which is offered with the top-spec Carens Clavis EV.
Verdict
Both the Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX Plus and the Tata Harrier EV Fearless Plus are closely matched in terms of features and overall packaging. However, the Carens Clavis EV offers Level 2 ADAS and a 3-row seating layout, all while being Rs 50,000 more affordable than the 65 kWh Harrier EV variant. On the other hand, despite being a 5-seater, the Harrier EV has a clear size advantage over the Clavis EV and offers more boot space as well as frunk storage. Additionally, the Harrier EV Fearless Plus not only comes with more powerful electric motors but also delivers a longer driving range.
If you are looking for a 3-row all-electric MPV and ADAS is your priority, you can opt for the Kia Carens Clavis EV HTX Plus. However, if looks, performance and driving range are your major concerns, you should go with the Tata Harrier EV Fearless Plus.
