Both versions come with four levels of regenerative braking, including an i-Pedal mode designed for one-pedal driving.

The interior of the Carens Clavis EV feels premium and mostly uses high-quality materials. What are the features of the Kia Carens Clavis EV?
The electric MPV boasts a 26.6-inch panoramic display, seamlessly integrating two separate screens—one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment system.
It comes loaded with over 90 connected features, along with a host of premium amenities. These include Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, one-touch tumble functionality for the second-row seats, ventilated front seats, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, an air purifier, and more. How has the design of the Kia Carens Clavis Electric changed when compared to the ICE version?
The overall design of the electric Carens Clavis closely mirrors its ICE (internal combustion engine) counterpart, with subtle EV-specific alterations. Notably, the charging port is integrated into the sealed front grille, and sleek LED daytime running lights extend across the front fascia. The rest of the exterior remains largely unchanged, likely to maximise interior space and maintain practicality. The brand has also added fog lamps which are not available on the ICE version.
Distinctive 17-inch aero-style alloy wheels give the electric variant a unique visual identity. Additionally, the model is equipped with an underbody cover and active aeroflaps for improved aerodynamics.

Indian man offered $150K job in US questions relocating solely for kids' education: ‘Is it really worth it?'
An Indian man's dilemma over whether to relocate to the United States for his children's education has sparked a thoughtful discussion on Reddit. The post, shared by the user under the title 'Is it worth relocating to USA from India?', highlights his concerns about leaving behind a settled and financially secure life in India in pursuit of potential educational opportunities for his children in the US. An Indian man on Reddit sought advice on relocating to the US for his kids' education.(Representational image/Unsplash) 'Settled in India, but is it enough?' The man, who is in his 40s, shared that he has a homemaker wife and two children currently studying in the 9th and 7th grades. He revealed that his company has offered him an internal transfer to Dallas, USA, under the L1A/EB1 visa programme with a annual salary of $150,000. However, his decision isn't driven by money. 'I am thinking to take this opportunity to give better education for my kids (not money), however I am afraid, whether it really help the kids or it will create big problem in future,' he wrote. 'I settled in India with own house without any loans. Is it really worth to relocate purely for kids education only?' Mixed reactions from Reddit users The post, shared by user @Grouchy-Leg1641, prompted several responses from fellow Redditors, many of whom offered their own perspectives and shared similar personal experiences. One Redditor empathised with his uncertainty, saying, 'You're already living a stable life. Moving now is a gamble, especially when the kids are in their teens.' Another added, 'Education might be better there, but will your kids adjust? Teenagers hate change.' One user noted, 'The exposure and opportunities in the US are unmatched. If you can afford it without stress, why not?' Another pointed out, '$150K in Dallas is a solid income. With your background and no existing loans, you'll still have stability.' Some questioned the necessity of the move altogether. 'Indian education is not bad if you guide your kids well,' one user said. Another commented, 'Moving for education is noble, but think long term—social security, healthcare, family support.'

File photo: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman (Picture credit: PTI) Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said that sustaining economic growth in the face of global uncertainties remains India's foremost priority. She also underlined that the government will continue to rely on increased public capital expenditure as a major tool to drive development. Speaking at a book launch event in New Delhi, Sitharaman said, 'To maintain the growth is the topmost priority. Growth is the topmost, and therefore, it will have an overlap with how you create jobs…', as per news agency PTI. Her comments come at a time when India's economy is projected to grow at 6.5 per cent in FY25, the slowest pace in four years, down from 9.2 per cent growth in FY24. As per PTI, the Reserve Bank of India has trimmed its GDP growth forecast for the current financial year to 6.5 per cent, down from an earlier estimate of 6.7 per cent. The Economic Survey has pegged growth for FY26 in the range of 6.3 per cent to 6.8 per cent. The finance minister highlighted that capital investments by the government will continue to be central to economic momentum. 'Public investments have kept pace. It has been Prime Minister Narendra Modi's clear instruction that we have to have capital expenditure grow and grow significantly,' she said, adding that such investments are a 'primary driver of sustained economic growth'. Sitharaman also said that India must remain relevant globally and aim for a leadership role, especially by reshaping the voice of the Global South. At the same time, balancing domestic economic ambitions within the limits of fiscal responsibility is also a key area of focus, she noted. She further pointed to the government's efforts to attract more foreign investments, stressing the importance of a favourable FDI regime and highlighting the healthy competition among Indian states in luring global investors. On trade, Sitharaman indicated a shift towards bilateral deals over multilateral arrangements. 'We have seen bilateral agreements being signed in the last four to five years with Australia, UAE and the UK. Negotiations are progressing well with the United States as well as the European Union,' she said, as per PTI. Speaking on India's relations with China, she said that there were initial signs of improvement following external affairs minister S Jaishankar's recent visit. 'There is something, some kind of a beginning… how far it will go is something we will have to wait and see,' she remarked, while also stressing the need for 'a sense of caution'. The remarks were made during the release of the book 'A World in Flux: India's Economic Priorities.' Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
