Latest Updates on Kia Carens

What's New on Kia Carens?

Introduction

  • The Kia Carens was introduced as a more polished MPV in the existing people-mover segment of cars in India.
  • It took care of evolving needs of Indian families while providing three-row comfort.
  • The Carens redefined this family mover segment with advance features and safety.
  • With the advent of the Carens Clavis, the number of Carens variants was reduced considerably to a few.
  • Apart from the petrol manual Premium (O) variant, there's a CNG version offered, though as a dealer-level fitment.

Exterior

  • The Kia Carens looked like a proper new-age car amid the existing few MPVs during its launch.
  • With DRLs, LED lighting setup, funky alloys, and connected tail lamp designs, it looked very modern.
  • Its proportions were also large but still not cumbersome to be used in the city.
  • The new Clavis, in fact, builds on these positive traits that made it a successful MPV.
  • The Carens made a statement with better looks than the Ertiga or any other MPV that was introduced in India.

Interior

  • Before the launch of the Kia Carens Clavis, the Carens had many variants including a fully-loaded X-Line.
  • The latter was a top-of-the-line X-Line variant only offered with an automatic petrol or diesel model.
  • But with the rejig in variants in 2025, and finally in 2026, the Carens gets these handful variants.
  • Even the CNG version is well-equipped in terms of features.
  • It gets an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
  • The latter supports both wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
  • Then, there's a 12.5-inch LCD instrument cluster, reverse camera with guidelines, five type-C charging ports, and TPMS.
  • Though it rides on 15-inch steel wheels with covers, the Carens boasts six airbags.

Powertrain

  • The Kia Carens is now only available in one petrol manual option.
  • Otherwise, it was offered in two petrol engine options with a naturally aspirated mill and a turbo unit.
  • Transmission choices included a six-speed manual, six-speed iMT, and a seven-speed DCT.
  • On the other hand, there was also a 1.5-litre diesel motor churning out 113bhp and 250Nm of torque.
  • So if you are in the used car market, the Carens can be had with either a six-speed manual, six-speed clutch-less manual (iMT), or a six-speed torque-converter (TC) automatic transmission.
  • Lest we forget, the latest addition of an alternate CNG version.
