Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews

“Seats are nice and comfortable, they are broad, well cushioned, you get ventilated options for the front driver and passenger and of course you have powered adjust for the driver as well”

Boot space

Generally positivebased on 7 reviews

“iske baad yeh ban jaata hai massive 450 plus litre ka boot space aapka... hamare liye to poora ye ek BHK ban jaayega. Gadda agar aapke paas hai matlab aaram se banda le ja sakta hai”

City drivability

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“255 Newton meter ka torque aur 170 PS ki power... jab aap isko ekdum se ignite kar rahe ho to power kaisi mil rahi hai? To ignite hi to ho nahi raha na. ICE to hai hi nahi... motor ko dabao... ekdum se bhaagti hai, maza aata hai”

Ride comfort

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

Highway mileage

Generally negativebased on 7 reviews

“80 se 100 ke beech mein rakho to 380, 350 bhi degi... aur agar aap heater chala do isme to phir aapka range bahut decrease hoga. 120 ke upar le jao speed bahut der tak, tab range decrease hoga”

Third row usability

Mixed reviewsbased on 9 reviews

“The third row on the Clavis EV is definitely not for full size adults. If you are over 6 feet, you are not going to find yourself back there... space in the back is very very low, this is only good for children”
