SUVs Are Overrated – I Found a Better 7-Seater Family Car

Automobiles



India loves 7-seaters, but sadly, very few cars can actually be called proper 7-seater that can accommodate the entire family without any compromise. The car I drove this time is extremely practical, all seats can be comfortably used by full-size adults, and it offers every engine option available in the country right now – NA petrol, Turbo petrol, diesel and even an EV version.

While SUVs may offer better road presence, the Kia Carens Clavis is more practical and scores higher on comfort and flexibility, something no large size SUV can truly match. The model I tested is the diesel manual, which is a perfect fit for families who love long distance travel and don’t want to compromise on modern features either.

Note – This is a branded video, and thus I have only highlighted major positives of the product that make it a perfect 7-seater family car.

  1. Gagee bhai, it's an old platform. Not safe. I am waiting for the new Carens made on the current platform. I would also like to see the Creta Grand on the same platform.

  2. I've purchased its EV top end, and it's awesome. It's a proper 7-seater with boot space compared to so-called Mahindra and Tata 7-seaters. No third-row compromise. It gives 425km range with a proper driving style.

  3. Is it a review or a sales pitch? Did you notice you justify every thing, like ac vent on head, safety, etc.? Not expected. Instead of putting a tag of includes paid review, you needed to put it as an advertisement, not a review.

  4. We had bought Clavis HTE EX petrol on 30.1.26 and really happy with spacious cabin, smooth drive although we wanted turbo petrol but waiting period was more than 2 months but we needed car asap so only got 1.5L petrol natural aspirated

  5. Only problem with Korean is why don’t they make their cars safer despite being a global brand and tons of money, if Škoda and Honda can do it why’d they..

  6. After viewing yours and Gagan's videos I've purchased Kia Carens Premium (O) petrol on 6-Feb-2026 for my 8 people family (3 kids). Since my running is less I purchased petrol version. Also I purchased Nov-2025 built version with 45k discount.

    Thanks a lot for your & Gagan's unbiased videos…
