Kia Carens Clavis: Design
Inspired by Kia's "Opposites United" design language, the Clavis features more angular styling, L-shaped LED DRLs linked by a light bar, and unique 'Ice Cube' headlamps that recall Kia's electric vehicles from around the world. The bumpers are sculpted more, lending it a more SUV-like presence.
The rear also receives an update with a connected LED tail-lamp configuration called the 'Starmap'. The Carens, however, sports a more MPV-inspired look with less angular lines and softer edges. The Clavis rides on bigger 17-inch alloy wheels with an alternative design, with the base Carens receiving 16-inch ones.
