The 1.5-litre diesel and 1.4-litre turbo-petrol (paired with a 6-speed manual) are standard. A 1.5-litre petrol engine (only offered with a 6-speed manual) is limited to the Premium and Prestige variants. Meanwhile, a 6-speed automatic option (with the 1.5-litre diesel) is reserved for the top-spec Luxury Plus, and a 7-speed DCT is available with the Prestige Plus and Luxury Plus trims (see table above).

The Kia Carens gets six airbags, all-around disc brakes, one-touch electric tumble for the second-row seats, a 7.5-inch digitised instrument cluster, and semi-leatherette seats.
