Expert Review

4.28/5
It is a practical family car with enough room for multiple passengers and luggage. The three-row layout makes it more useful than many electric SUVs that focus more on styling than actual family use. The instant response of the electric motor makes the Clavis EV easy to drive in traffic. There is no need to wait for a turbocharger or automatic gearbox to select the right gear. Although, the claimed range figures may look reassuring on paper, but real-world range depends on speed, air-conditioning use, passengers, temperature, driving style and road conditions. On a fully loaded family trip, highway range can drop noticeably.

Overall, I think the Clavis EV is a sensible option for a family that wants to switch to electric. Space, comfort, features and smooth driving are all positives. The main thing holding it back for me is range. A bigger battery would make it much easier to recommend for frequent long-distance use.

For school runs, shopping, office travel and normal city driving, I think the Clavis EV works well. It is comfortable and quiet, and the running cost is attractive. I would still prefer a higher range if I were travelling between cities every week.

I was initially worried that an electric three row car might feel compromised. After spending time with the Clavis EV, I think Kia has managed the space and comfort quite well. The range is my main concern, especially for trips outside the city.

If your daily travel is mostly fixed, this car makes a lot of sense. I know roughly how much range I need and can charge at home. Problems start when planning longer trips because I have to think about chargers and remaining range.

The cabin is one of my favourite parts of the Clavis EV. It feels spacious and comfortable, especially for family trips. The electric drivetrain is very smooth. Range is decent but not something I would call class leading.
