Sporty GT-Line Styling
The GTX ER gives the family-friendly Carens Clavis EV a sportier character. Outside, it gets 17-inch crystal-cut dual-tone aero alloys with eye-catching lime brake calipers. Inside, the cabin switches to black leatherette seats with off-white accents, along with metal pedals. As a result, it suits families who want their MPV to look less like a people carrier.
Kia Carens Clavis EV GTX ER Features
Beyond the styling, the GTX ER is well equipped. It gets Level 2 ADAS with 20 features, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and dual 12.25-inch screens. In addition, it offers 64-colour ambient lighting, an air purifier and a one-touch electric tumble second row. For safety, it gets 6 airbags, ESC and a rear occupant alert.
What It Misses
The GTX ER focuses on style over comfort features. It doesn’t get ventilated front seats, a powered driver seat or Bose audio. It also misses V2L, rain-sensing wipers and rear door spot lamps. If these matter, the GTX Plus ER adds them.

What's good
-
Huge Space: It is one of the few electric cars where the third row is actually comfortable for adults.
-
Safety Features: Having Level 2 ADAS and 6 airbags makes it a great choice for families.
Cool Tech: Features like ventilated seats and the Bose sound system make it feel like a luxury car.
What's not so good
-
Large Size: It is a long car, so it can be a bit hard to find parking in crowded city areas.
-
Low Ground Clearance: When the car is full of people, it sits a bit low, so you have to be careful over very large speed breakers.
-
No Spare Tire: It comes with a puncture kit instead of a full spare tyre, which can be scary on long trips.
