Kia Carens latest updates
What is the latest update on the Kia Carens?
The Kia Carens Gravity edition, based on the lower-spec Premium (O) trim, has been launched in India. Prices range from Rs 12.10 lakh to Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). The Gravity Edition brings in some new design elements and features to the Premium (O)’s offering, including a dashcam and a single-pane sunroof. The Kia Carens is also slated for a refresh in 2025.
How much is the Carens' price?
Kia has priced this MPV from Rs 10.52 lakh to Rs 19.94 lakh. Prices for the 1.5-litre petrol start at Rs 10.52 lakh, while the 1.5-litre diesel starts at Rs 12.67 lakh. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol prices start at Rs 12.56 lakh.
(All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi)
How many variants are there in the Kia Carens?
The Kia Carens is available in 11 broad variants: Premium, Premium (O), Prestige, Prestige (O), Prestige Plus, Prestige Plus (O), Luxury, Luxury (O), Luxury Plus, and X-Line. There’s also a new Gravity edition based on the Premium (O) trim that is available with multiple engine-gearbox options.
Which is the most value for money variant?
For the best value, the Kia Carens Prestige variant at Rs 12 lakh is ideal. It includes premium features like LED DRLs, auto headlamps, auto AC, and leather-fabric dual-tone upholstery. Additionally, it offers keyless entry, push-button start/stop, and optional second-row captain seats.
What features does the Carens get?
Key features of the Kia Carens include dual 10.25-inch screens (one for the touchscreen infotainment system and another for the digital instrument cluster), a 10.1-inch rear-seat entertainment system, an air purifier, a 64-colour ambient lighting setup, a single-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats, and electric one-touch folding second-row seats.
How spacious is it?
The Kia Carens offers ample space, comfortably seating two adults even in the last row. Depending on the variant, the Carens is available either as a 7-seater with a bench in the middle or as a 6-seater with individual captain seats in the middle. The seats are well-designed with good headroom and reclining backrests but users who are large in size may find the seats to be small. Entry is easy with the large rear door and tumble-forward seats. The boot provides 216 litres of space, expandable when seats are folded.
What engine and transmission options are available?
The Kia Carens offers three engine options:
-
A 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (115 PS/144 Nm) mated exclusively to a 6-speed manual transmission.
-
A 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (160 PS/253 Nm) paired with either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
-
A 1.5-litre diesel engine (116 PS/250 Nm) mated with either a 6-speed manual, 6-speed iMT or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
How safe is the Carens?
The Kia Carens' safety kit includes six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), front and rear parking sensors, and a dual-camera dashcam. Earlier, this MPV was tested in Global NCAP and had scored a 3-star crash safety rating in the tests.
How many colour options are there?
Kia offers the Carens in eight monotone colour options: Imperial Blue, Xclusive Matte Graphite, Sparkling Silver, Intense Red, Glacier White Pearl, Clear White, Gravity Grey, and Aurora Black Pearl.
We especially like: Among the colour options, the Imperial Blue because it exudes a sense of sophistication and elegance.
Should you buy the Kia Carens?
The Kia Carens is a strong contender for those seeking a spacious and well-equipped MPV. Its combination of multiple seating configurations, a variety of engine options, and a comprehensive list of features makes it a versatile choice for families.
What are my alternatives?
The Kia Carens competes with the Maruti Ertiga, Toyota Rumion, and Maruti XL6. It can also be regarded as a smaller but more affordable alternative to the Toyota Innova Hycross, Toyota Innova Crysta, and Maruti Invicto. The Renault Triber, which comes with a lower price tag is also an MPV that competes with the Carens, though the Kia is significantly better at seating more than 5 occupants.
What is the latest news on the Kia Carens EV?
The Kia Carens EV has been confirmed for India and will be launched in 2025 in India.
