Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the process of buying a Kia Carens Clavis, and I'm genuinely stuck between the EV and petrol versions. I'd really appreciate feedback from actual Clavis owners.

A little about my situation:

My i20 active petrol manual has done around 92,000 km since 2018, so my realistic usage works out to roughly 11,500 km/year.

My shortlist is now basically:

1. Carens Clavis EV HTX 7-seater – 42 kWh

2. Carens Clavis EV ER HTX 7-seater – 51.4 kWh

3. Carens Clavis 1.5 Turbo DCT HTX+ 7-seater

My usage

Most of my driving is relatively normal day-to-day/family driving around Kolhapur city

I do, however, take road trips fairly regularly. Places I commonly travel to / consider travelling to include:

- Goa

- Karwar

- Ankola

- Lonavala

- Mahabaleshwar

- Gaganbawda

- Amba

This is where the EV range question starts bothering me.

Is the 42 kWh HTX actually the sweet spot for someone like me, or will I regret not buying the 51.4 kWh ER?

Or should I forget the range/charging concerns altogether and just buy the 1.5 Turbo DCT petrol and enjoy the convenience of filling up and going wherever I want?

I'd really appreciate real-world numbers from owners, particularly highway range, charging experience, family-trip experience, and anything you wish you'd known before buying.

Thanks in advance!

In the flashback, tittu was too full of himself till Jassi put a bullet through his nose and had him begging for mercy when the gun was aimed at his testicles.

Shamshad Hassan had the same arrogance till Sanyal showed him the footage of his secret deal with Israel and then Hassan's Tashreef and audacity were blown to bits.

Jassi had nothing to lose and everything to gain, Tittu was no match for a 1 on 1 with him. Hassan and his family would have been mercilessly massacred on the streets had the video gone viral.

The point ? Even your worst enemy will fall on his knees, whether familial, political, or even global when you have just one thing in your favour.... "LEVERAGE" !!!

"yeh ishq ishq" and "Dhurandhar the official trailer" tracks from YouTube combined into one seamless banger. The beats match up perfectly. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did !!!

Let's see who can guess it !!!
