Kia has officially introduced the Clavis in the Indian market, a bold new entry in the growing micro SUV segment. Positioned below the Sonet, the Clavis is designed to appeal to young urban drivers looking for an SUV-style stance, premium features, and fuel-efficient performance in a compact body.
Eye-Catching Exterior Design
The Kia Clavis sports a boxy, upright stance that gives it an SUV-like feel despite its compact footprint. With projector headlamps, LED DRLs, bold cladding, and roof rails, the Clavis brings a rugged appeal. The flat nose and sharp rear give it a futuristic yet practical design, perfect for city life.
Smart Cabin with Urban-Friendly Features
Inside, the Clavis offers a surprisingly spacious and tech-rich cabin for a micro SUV. It includes a digital driver display, floating infotainment screen, auto climate control, USB-C fast charging, and even connected car tech. Despite being compact, it provides ample headroom and legroom for daily commutes.
Engine Options and Mileage
The Clavis is powered by a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine, mated to a manual or AMT gearbox, with reports suggesting a CNG version coming soon. Kia claims a mileage of around 20 kmpl, making it highly economical for budget-conscious buyers.
Safety Features for Peace of Mind
Kia equips the Clavis with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, hill-start assist, rear parking sensors, and a rear camera. Some trims even offer ESC and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), making it one of the safest options in the segment.
Final Verdict
The Kia Clavis is Kia’s answer to rising demand for compact SUVs that deliver style, efficiency, and smart features at a budget price. With its urban-focused design, tech-loaded cabin, and affordable variants, the Clavis is set to take on rivals like the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch in style.
