As electric vehicles become more mainstream, two standout Kia models vie for attention in India: the Kia EV6 and the Kia Carens Clavis EV. Each offers strong electric performance, advanced features, and unique strengths. At Naara Kia Bangalore, it’s about matching what matters to you whether it’s range, seating, features, or comfort. Here’s how EV6 and Carens Clavis EV compare, so you can pick what suits your lifestyle best.
Key Differences in Design & Space
The Kia EV6 is a sleek 5-seater electric SUV with a sporty design, emphasizing luxury, performance, and technological appeal. It includes features like a panoramic curved display, strong battery options, and premium interiors.
The Carens Clavis EV, meanwhile, is a 7-seater electric MPV designed for family comfort. It gives you more seating flexibility and space for passengers, especially for those needing third-row seating. It also offers a more upright, practical design that accommodates everyday family needs.
Battery, Range & Charging
- EV6 comes with an 84 kWh battery capable of delivering 650+ km range (ARAI certified), supports ultra-fast DC charging (10-80% in about 18 minutes under ideal conditions), and includes modern features like ADAS 2.0 and a high-grade curved display.
- Carens Clavis EV offers two battery options: a 42 kWh pack and a larger 51.4 kWh version. The standard range is around 404 km (MIDC) for the smaller battery, and 490 km for the larger one. DC fast charging (10-80%) takes about 39 minutes, while AC charging (7 kW) takes approximately 6-7 hours depending on the variant.
Features & Comfort
Both EV6 and Carens Clavis EV are rich in technology and creature comforts. Here’s how they line up:
- EV6 offers premium touches: dual 12.3-inch panoramic curved displays, a powerful infotainment suite, lush interiors, and high levels of driver assistance (ADAS 2.0 with 25+ safety features).
- Carens Clavis EV balances luxury with functionality: 7 seats, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Bose or premium audio systems, ambient lighting (many color options), and advanced safety features including Level 2 ADAS and multiple airbags.
Which One Fits Your Lifestyle Better?
Here’s what to consider:
- Choose EV6 if you prioritize long driving range, fast charging, a high-tech luxurious environment, and you don’t need more than 5 seats. It’s ideal if you often drive on highways, commute long distances, or want a premium EV experience.
- Choose Carens Clavis EV if you need more space, often travel with family or multiple passengers, or require a bigger boot and third-row seating. It’s more suited to family-oriented lifestyles where practicality is as important as EV performance.
