What owners and experts like about the Kia Carens Clavis
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“भाई अच्छी बूट स्पेस हो जाती है। आप ये देख लो पूरी फ्लैट हो जाती है और बढ़िया स्पेस बन जाएगा यार... भाई आगे वाली भी हो जाती है तो आप बिल्कुल फैमिली के साथ चार जनों के लिए एकदम सोते हो जाओ गाड़ी में, कोई दिक्कत नहीं”
Third row usability
Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews
“Access to the third row is easy, thanks to the one-touch tumble mechanism, where this seat folds forward automatically... Even your friends who end up sitting in the back rows are unlikely to find the access process inconvenient.”
Ride comfort
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“Ride comfort is one of this Kia's strengths... It absorbs the bumps well. It stays flat and composed and doesn't get unsettled over broken road surfaces”
Air conditioning
Generally positivebased on 6 reviews
“iska AC ek number lekin chilled kar deta hai... 1 ya 2 minute li hai maximum isne, itna bada cabin thanda kar dega, kyunki sirf back mein bhi hai na, rear mein bhi hai AC aapke front mein bhi hain to is wajah se bahut support”
Engine refinement
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“साउंड नहीं है एक तो... केबिन साउंड बिल्कुल जीरो है। और कम टाइम में अच्छी स्पीड पकड़ ले रही है तो पता ही नहीं चलता कि 100 कम में पहुंच गई... इंजन मुझे सही लगा, अभी तक तो इसकी परफॉर्मेंस अच्छी है इंजन की”
Handling
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“nahi nahi stability hai gadi mein. koi koi issue nahi hai... koi vibration mtlb ki idhar se ye nahi hai ki vibration aa raha hai steering mein ya hamari body jo hai wo ek taraf lean ho rahi hai. koi aisi koi issue nahi hai”

Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Fit & finish
Mixed reviewsbased on 16 reviews
“मैं भाई इसमें यहां पे जैसे अपना चश्मा, ये इसके अंदर परमानेंट है... अब भाई जब ये बंद करके मैं चला दूंगा ना, इसमें गड़गड़ की आवाज़ आती रहेगी, तो मेरे को बार-बार खोल के चश्मा सेट करना पड़ता है”
City mileage
Mixed reviewsbased on 7 reviews
“भाई इसमें भाई बढ़ती नहीं है माइलेज, एक्चुअली क्या इसमें गिरती है... अभी तो भाई छह की दे रही है... 10 तो भाई लो भाई 9.9... भाई मैं आपको सच बताऊं, एक तो इसकी माइलेज सही में बहुत गंदी है”
