Why consider Carens Luxury?

This variant comes with the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech, 64-colour ambient lighting, and LED lighting all around.

Why skip the Carens Luxury?
The Luxury trim is not available with an automatic transmission and the premium over the previous variant feels a bit steep. For a fully loaded experience of the Kia Carens combined with the convenience of an automatic gearbox with both petrol and diesel engines, you should be looking at the top-spec variant instead.
| Variant |
Verdict |
| Well-equipped for safety but lacks other basics, preferable to skip to the next variant. |
|
| Best variant with the 1.5-litre petrol-manual, worth considering on a tight budget. |
|
| Recommended for premium features that add value for the price. It is also the entry-level petrol-automatic option. |
|
| All the premium comforts you’d need but for a steep premium. |
|
| Buy for 6-seater layout and choice of diesel-automatic. |
