Watch Video: How Many Bags Can Fit Into The Kia Carens Clavis EV’s Boot?
The Kia Carens Clavis EV has a 216-litre boot space with three rows of seating, which can be expanded for more room by folding the 3rd and 2nd rows
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is the most affordable electric MPV by the Korean carmaker, which is priced from Rs 17.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). It is positioned as a practical 3-row EV, well-suited for larger families who often head out on long road trips or vacations, which calls for a big boot space that can accommodate everyone’s cargo. To see if it lives up to the expectations, we decided to put its boot space to the test and check how practical it really is for carrying luggage. Wondering how it performed? Let’s find out.
The Test
For the boot space test, we used three medium-sized cabin trolleys, one large cabin bag, and three backpacks to check the Carens Clavis EV’s practicality with different seating layouts. Could it fit in all this luggage? Let’s find out.
The Result
With all three rows upright, the boot could manage only one medium cabin bag along with two regular-sized rucksacks. Folding the third row, however, freed up enough space to fit all our luggage comfortably.
We didn’t test it further, but the second row can be folded down in a 60:40 split, which can open up a much larger storage area, which is ideal for carrying bigger loads and even for shifting small homes.
