“The Carens Clavis EV is built for families who need space and don't want to stop for fuel every 200 km. Its 490 km range puts it ahead of rivals, and 169 bhp with 255 Nm torque is enough for everyday driving without drama. At 18 lakh, it's pricey for an EV, but the seven seats and tech suite make the cost less painful.
