Kia Carens Clavis: 5 reasons why this MPV can compete with more premium offerings
The Kia Carens Clavis will be sold alongside the existing Carens with styling, features and tech upgrades. (Mohd Nasir for HT Auto) The Kia Carens Clavis had been recently launched with prices ranging from ₹ 11.50 lakh to ₹ 21.50 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The Kia Carens Clavis is an MPV, placed slightly above the standard Kia Carens MPV, similar to the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. With this approach, Kia is targeting customers who want an upmarket MPV without stepping into the higher price brackets of models like the Toyota Innova Crysta or Hycross. The Carens Clavis goes up against popular models such as the Maruti Ertiga, Maruti XL6 and Toyota Rumion, offering a mix of tech, safety, and comfort features that are often missing in this price range. Here's a closer look at five key areas where the Kia Clavis stands apart: 1 Dual-displays The Clavis offers a high-end cabin layout with dual 12.3-inch screens, one for the infotainment system and another as a digital driver's display. This is a notable upgrade over rivals, which mostly come with smaller infotainment screens and traditional analogue dials. These large screens not only enhance visibility but also lend the interior a more premium look. However, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not available in the Clavis, a surprising omission considering all its direct rivals offer this convenience. The lower variants offer wireless connectivity for both of them, but they come with a smaller 8-inch display. 3 Safety technology Safety tech sees a significant upgrade in the Clavis, with Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) included as part of the package. Features such as auto emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist offer more driver support, especially on highways, a segment-first offering among its direct rivals. In addition, the Clavis gets a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, which make it easier to drive and park in crowded urban settings. Most competitors offer only a reverse camera, with the exception of the XL6, which also features a 360-degree camera. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India.

'The inmates involved are those nearing release and have undergone thorough screening. They are also continuously monitored during their employment with the employer,' he said, while assuring that the feedback received from tourism sector employers about the working inmates have been positive. The response from employers highlighted the inmates' good treatment of customers and zero criminal misconduct. There were also a few cases of inmates who were fully released from prison and immediately offered permanent employment by the same employer.
