The Kia Carens Clavis gets notable revisions on the outside

On the cosmetic front, the Clavis is immediately identifiable as a derivative of the Carens, although it does sport some notable cosmetic changes. The fascia has been revised, and is now akin to a few of Kia’s all-electric offerings in the foreign market such as the EV5. The front end features ‘Ice Cube’ LED headlights, and L-shaped daytime running lamps (DRLs) that are linked to the headlamp clusters, and are connected by a chrome strip. The bumpers are new, as are the 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and the ‘Starmap’ connected LED tail-lights.

The dashboard of the Carens Clavis has been thoroughly revamped

The changes however, are more apparent on the inside, as the cabin layout of the Clavis is largely different from that of the Carens. The Clavis’ dashboard adopts a more minimalistic appearance, and features a 26.62-inch dual display that combines the central infotainment touchscreen with the full-digital driver’s display. The list of features offered on the Carens Clavis include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats (with four-way power adjust for the driver's seat), 64-colour ambient lighting, five USB-C ports, dual-view dash cam, seat-mounted air purifier, an 8-speaker Bose sound system.
