When it comes to the Carens, Kia refer to it as a recreational vehicle. However, it will essentially be a three-row, multi-purpose car with SUV-like styling. It would be the first Kia automobile in India to feature the company’s new ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy. Kia’s new ‘Tiger Face design’ will be seen upfront, with sharp LED headlights and DRLs, toned bumpers, and dual-tone alloy wheels. LED tail-lights have been installed in the back, with an LED strip running the length of the boot.
The MPV boasts an all-new front face with sleek LED headlights and integrated DRLs, rather than the conventional “tiger-nose” front grille. A chrome line runs across the centre, and three-stack vertically positioned fog lamps and a chrome accent are added to the front bumper and massive air-intake grille. The car also gets LED lighting at the back, and it rides on sporty 16-inch alloy wheels.
A 10.25-inch HD touchscreen navigation with next-generation Kia Connect, Bose premium sound system with eight speakers, cabin surround 64-color ambient mood lighting, and smart pure air purifier with virus and bacteria protection are also included in the vehicle. Multi-Drive Modes (Sport/Eco/Normal) with ambient mood lighting, second-row seat, one-touch easy electric tumble, and skylight sunroof are all available.
The car will be available with both petrol and diesel engines, as well as manual and automatic gearbox options.
The 115-hp Smartstream 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol, the 140-hp Smartstream 1.4 T-GDi turbo-petrol, and 115-hp 1.5-litre CRDi VGT diesel will be available as powertrain options for the Kia Carens. The choice of manual and automatic gearbox options: a six-speed manual, a seven-speed dual-clutch auto and a six-speed automatic will be on offer.
