Everyday driving made better with intelligent regeneration
Transforming everyday driving, the Carens Clavis EV features innovative paddle shifters, a standout feature in the electric driving experience. Drivers can easily access four levels of regenerative braking using paddle shifters, tailoring energy recovery and deceleration to their preference, and driving conditions.
Selecting the highest setting, Level 4 Regeneration (also known as i-Pedal mode) enables true one-pedal driving especially useful in urban stop-and-go traffic. This mode delivers maximum regenerative braking, allowing the car to slow down and even come to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal.It reduces reliance on the physical brakes while enhancing overall efficiency and range.
For added convenience, the Auto Mode intelligently selects the optimal regeneration level (from 1 to 4) based on real-time driving conditions. This smart system prioritizes maximum energy recovery while ensuring a smooth and comfortable drive, adapting seamlessly to changing traffic and road conditions. These features offer real and practical benefits for everyday use.
