The Most Affordable Captain-Seat Carens Clavis EV
The HTX E is the first trim to offer the 6-seater layout. Its two second-row captain seats give middle-row passengers more space and support. In addition, the walkway between them lets third-row passengers climb in without folding a seat. As a result, it suits families who rarely need seven seats but want more comfort for parents or older children.

It gets a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting and a Smart Pure air purifier with AQI display. Moreover, dual 12.25-inch screens, a smart key with remote start and roof-mounted rear AC vents add convenience. For safety, it gets 6 airbags, ESC and a rear occupant alert. However, it skips Level 2 ADAS and the 360-degree camera.

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.
