Why consider Carens Prestige?
The Carens Prestige is a better package than the base-spec model as it comes with a rearview camera, front parking sensors, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless connectivity). It is also the best-equipped variant you can have with the most affordable powertrain (1.5-litre petrol), making it a worthy option on a tight budget.

Why skip the Carens Prestige?
The Carens Prestige covers all the basics but does not offer a premium experience. Kia has a lot more to offer as a relatively premium brand and for those features, you need to look at the pricier variants of Carens MPV.
| 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. |
