Is the Kia Clavis's reported panoramic sunroof a feature that will actually be used or just a gimmick for the Indian market?

In our climate? No way. And it’s just going to make the AC work harder, and use more fuel.

I think its great for evening drives and cooler months. And it makes the interior seem more spacious. It doesn't have to be 100% practical.

So, why not if it doesn’t compromise on headroom? It's a nice to have, that doesn't hurt anyone.

I care more about long term reliability. Over time, panoramic sunroofs have been known to leak and rattle.

It's all about the flex. The people want to show off and a big sunroof is an easy way to make your car look more premium.

In fact I use my sunroof a lot, even in summer. When you first get in a hot car, it's great for ventilation. I think it's a smart addition.

The real question is, how much is it gonna add to the cost? Of course, if it bumps up the price too much, it may not be worth it for many buyers.
Is the Kia Clavis really just a Sonet, but taller, or does it introduce something new?
03 January 2025 11:49
It’s far from being just a taller Sonet. With an emphasis on rear seat space and comfort, the Clavis seems to be aimed at a different crowd. It’s a smart move in the Indian market where backseat passengers are often prioritised.

I'm not convinced. The feeling is that Kia is simply milking the compact SUV trend by offering slight variations of the same theme. One brand needs how many small SUVs?

The boxy design is a very differentiator. It’s the Kia Soul vibes, and if they lean into that quirky aesthetic it could be really cool. That could set it apart from a sea of compact SUVs that all look the same.

I believe the Clavis does an important job. It’s for people who like Sonet, but need more interior space. Not everyone needs a Seltos just to get more room.

The real test will be the pricing. It can't be too close to the Sonet, or it will cannibalize sales. So, if it’s too expensive, people might as well go for the Seltos. That's the sweet spot that Kia needs to nail.
Will Kia Clavis's ADAS features actually be useful on Indian roads?
03 January 2025 11:49
I'm skeptical. I can perfectly imagine these systems getting confused with Indian traffic and causing more problems than they are intended to solve.

Having ADAS is better than not having it, even if they aren’t perfect. At least, it could help in highway driving situations, that's a start.

It’ll be interesting to see how well Kia tunes the systems for Indian conditions, I think. It could be really useful if they do their homework.

The real problem is going to be teaching drivers how to properly take advantage of these features. If you don’t have that, then they’re just expensive gimmicks.

It’s good to see ADAS in more affordable cars like the Clavis. It will not be perfect, but it will help normalize the technology and over time lead to improvements.

Most Indian drivers will probably just turn these features off, let’s be real. It’s not something that we’re used to, letting the car take control.

I believe that it'll be fantastic for new drivers. Having an extra set of eyes on the road can really be a boost of confidence.
Can Kia Clavis match Tata Punch’s safety reputation?
03 January 2025 11:49
Tata's got a real head start in the safety game. To compete, Kia is going to have to go above and beyond.
