For many urban buyers, the rear seat has become the primary place to spend time on the road rather than the driver’s seat. Traffic conditions, long commutes and rising preference for chauffeur-driven travel are shifting focus towards comfort, access and convenience in the second row. Automakers are responding with features such as reclining captain seats, improved legroom and added tech for passengers. Here are five current models that prioritise rear-seat usability across different price points:
1. Kia Carens Clavis
The Kia Carens Clavis is priced between ₹11.08 lakh and ₹18.69 lakh. It offers 6- and 7-seat layouts, with the 6-seater featuring captain seats that slide and recline. Higher variants include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and Level 2 ADAS. Engine options produce 113 bhp, 157.57 bhp and 114 bhp, giving buyers flexibility alongside cabin comfort.
