I want to buy a 7-seater, and my choices are the Kia Carens Clavis and the Citroen Aircross X. Petrol is the only option I can choose due to NCR restrictions. The Citroen has a torque converter...
The Kia Carens Clavis has a plusher cabin and a stronger 160hp 1.5 turbo petrol engine, which gives it better acceleration for quick overtakes in the hills and on the highway. The overall cabin is also more spacious than that of the Citroën Aircross X.
Where the Citroen scores in sheer comfort, thanks to its brilliant suspension and very well-cushioned seats. The Aircross’ 110hp 1.2 turbo petrol engine is also quite capable, and for city driving, its 6-speed torque converter is smoother than the Carens’ DCT.
Overall, the Citroen Aircross X is the better bet. It makes a great everyday car, has superb suspension for bad roads, offers adequate power for hill driving, and is significantly cheaper than the Carens, which starts at around ₹19 lakh for the DCT variants and is over your budget.
