In addition to the borrowed features, the Carens Clavis EV can include other functions exclusive to EVs, such as V2L charging.
On July 15, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is scheduled to be on sale, with an estimated ex-showroom price of Rs 16 lakh. With a few exceptions, its design appears to be rather comparable to that of its ICE equivalent, which we have already compared. Similar to the fossil fuel-powered predecessor, the electric MPV can also benefit from a number of its features. In this report, we describe the top ten of those features:
Dual 12.25-Inch Displays
It is anticipated that the Carens Clavis EV will have the same dual floating-screen configuration as the ICE model, which includes a 12.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.25-inch digital driver’s display. The dashboard seems more contemporary thanks to this arrangement, which was initially seen with the Kia Syros.
Front Ventilated Seats
It is anticipated that the front-ventilated seats of the Clavis ICE will be retained in the Carens Clavis EV. Given India’s warm and humid atmosphere, this will increase the comfort of the excellent driver and co-driver.
Panoramic Sunroof
A panoramic sunroof is another feature that the teaser film verified, in addition to the dual display configuration. With the cheaper grades receiving a single-pane sunroof, similar to the Kia Carens Clavis, this option might be saved for the more expensive models.
8-Speaker Bose Sound System
A high-end Bose sound system is probably also available with the Carens Clavis EV, which will appeal to audiophiles more. Whether the EV has more speakers than the 8-speaker array seen in the gasoline and diesel variants is still up in the air.
64-Colour Ambient Lighting
The Carens Clavis EV with ambient lighting is seen in the teaser. The 64-color setup that is available with the conventional Carens Clavis MPV is probably going to be carried over into the Carens Clavis EV.
Auto AC
As with the ICE version, the Carens Clavis EV is probably going to keep having automatic air conditioning with special vents for occupants in the back seat.
Air Purifier
Like the ICE model, the EV version may also come with an integrated air purifier.
Powered Driver Seat
Similar to the ICE version, the electric Carens Clavis can also have a 4-way power adjustable driver seat, enabling drivers to select the driving position that suits them best. Additionally, the EV can provide a power-adjustable co-driver seat.
360-Degree Camera
For easier parking and maneuverability in confined urban areas, the Carens Clavis EV need to use the same 360-degree camera arrangement as the Clavis ICE.
Level-2 ADAS
The top-spec HTX Plus version of the Carens Clavis has a level 2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). By including ADAS in its higher-spec trims, the Carens Clavis EV ought to do the same.
