The Carens Clavis EV is a genuinely useful three-row electric family car that doesn't compromise on real-world practicality. With 490 km of range, 169 bhp of instant torque, and genuine creature comforts like ventilated seats and a sunroof, it makes the EV transition feel natural rather than sacrificial. At ₹18 lakh, it's positioned as a smart alternative to petrol MPVs for those ready to go electric.

Stands out

  • 490 km ARAI range keeps long-distance anxiety at bay
  • 7 seats in a genuinely spacious body; 216L boot remains practical
  • Strong tech stack with 9 features plus 5 ADAS functions
  • Instant 255 Nm torque delivery feels lively in daily driving
  • Ventilated seats and sunroof add comfort beyond segment norms

!Gives us pause

  • Safety score lags—6 airbags present but crash protection scoring is modest
  • Single powertrain option limits choice for different driving needs
  • Value proposition hinges on EV incentives and charging infrastructure availability
  • Efficiency and comfort highly dependent on driving patterns and conditions
