Kia Carens Clavis Exterior Design

The all-new Clavis is primarily a facelift of the Caren MPV, underpinning the K2 platform. It gets a new light bar connected with inverted L-shaped DRLs and features triple pod headlights similar to those in the Kia EV5. The Clavis also gets faux metal trim in silver on the bumper chin. While the overall silhouette of Clavis looks similar to the Carens MPV, it gets additional plastic cladding and wheel arches for a distinctive profile. Kia Clavis also receives larger 17-inch alloy wheels and sharper LED taillights, commencing with a new lightbar on the rear end. 

Kia Carens Clavis Interior Features

Kia has offered six- and seven-seat configurations in its Clavis, where the six-seat option comes with second-row captain seats. It also gets a blue and beige theme-based driver dashboard with dual 12.3-inch displays, one for infotainment and another for driver display. It is important to note that the bigger infotainment system in the top-spec Clavis HTX variant does not get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

In contrast, the lower-spec 8-inch unit gets the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. It also gets a switchable touch-sensitive panel under the central air vent handles for media and climate control. The front seats have a ventilation option with an electronically adjustable function for the driver seat. Additionally, the Clavis receives a wireless charger, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, an air purifier, a panoramic sunroof, multiple drive modes, and paddle shifters. Like the Hyundai Alcazar, Boss mode is for the co-driver’s seat.
