Grey Kia Carens Clavis, a seven seat MPV

The Kia Carens Clavis specifications matter because three engines and several gearboxes fill the range. The spec sheet changes clearly as you move up it. Three engines mean there is a version for almost every buyer.

The 1.5 litre petrol makes 113 bhp and 143.8 Nm with a manual, and on CNG it gives 95 bhp and 123.2 Nm. The 1.5 litre turbo petrol makes 158 bhp and 253 Nm, with a manual, iMT or DCT. That 253 Nm gives strong mid range pull for overtaking. The 1.5 litre diesel makes 114 bhp and 250 Nm, as a manual or automatic.

On fuel, the diesel manual leads at 19.54 kmpl, with the diesel automatic at 17.50 kmpl. The turbo reads 16.66 kmpl on the DCT and 15.95 kmpl with the manual and iMT. The plain petrol sits at 15.34 kmpl. Real figures fall in traffic and with a full load. To place these, compare the Carens Clavis mileage by engine.

The body measures 4550 mm long on a 2780 mm wheelbase, which frees up three usable rows. The boot holds 216 litres with every seat in place and grows as you fold them. Ground clearance of 195 mm helps on rough roads, and the petrol tank holds 45 litres, with a 60 litre (water equivalent) cylinder added on the CNG. You can check the Carens Clavis price near you.

Taken together, the numbers show an MPV that behaves like a tall estate car. Strong torque, three rows and a car like footprint make it easy to own. It is easy to place on the road despite its length. It is a genuinely usable family car with a premium edge.

Kia Carens Clavis power and torque explained

The Carens Clavis comes with three engines, and they feel very different on the road. The 1.5 petrol is the easygoing one that likes to be revved before it wakes up. The 1.5 diesel does its best work low down, pulling from just off idle without any fuss. The strong 1.5 turbo petrol pulls a fully loaded car with real ease.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.5L Smartstream Petrol + CNG spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.5 petrol makes its 144 Nm of torque high up at 4500 rpm, and its 115 PS peak comes later at 6300 rpm. That is high for both, so you get the best from this engine by revving it out. At easy city speeds it feels light and smooth for your daily school and office runs. Load all seven seats or take on a long climb and you will change down more often. Pick it if you drive mostly in town with a lighter load and want the lowest priced way into the Clavis.

The 1.5 diesel is the relaxed long distance choice. Its full 250 Nm of torque lands early at 1500 rpm and stays with you to 2750 rpm. That means it pulls strongly from low speeds without needing revs. Power peaks at 4000 rpm, which is low, so you rarely have to stir it. This is the engine for a full car on the highway, steady overtakes and holiday trips with the boot loaded. Running costs matter most on a diesel, so compare the mileage each Clavis engine returns before you commit.

The 1.5 turbo petrol is the one for you if you enjoy driving. It gives a big 253 Nm of torque from 1500 rpm and holds it right up to 3500 rpm. So the pull stays strong across most of the everyday rev range. Then its 160 PS peak at 5500 rpm keeps it going when you want to press on. A full car climbs and overtakes without drama, and you can pick a manual, a clutchless iMT or a smooth DCT automatic. It is the quickest and priciest engine, so read the full Carens Clavis story and features to see if the top trims fit your budget.
