Kia Carens was unveiled few days ago in India and will be officially launched in the first quarter of 2022. The Kia Carens is spacious three-row seater with the longest wheelbase in its class. The car comes with a first in India Hi-Secure Safety Package as standard across all trims, which includes six airbags. The Kia Carens will be available in petrol and diesel powertrains combined with multiple transmission options, including the 7DCT and 6AT.
On the design front, the DRL in the headlamps is designed based on Kia’s new signature lighting concept – ‘The Star Map’. The horizontal chrome garnish in the upper grille and the frame-type chrome garnish in the lower bumper creates an impressive tiger face. At the rear, the combination lamp on the robust sections makes the Carens look wide and strong. The Star Map LED gives it a high-tech feel, and the three-dimensional chrome garnish adds to its sporty looks. Three new colours have been introduced on the Kia Carens – the mysterious Imperial Blue inspired by Azurite minerals; a low saturation Moss Brown for a unique look; and Sparkling Silver with metal particles that gives the paint a sense of vitality.

In addition to the optimum space and recline functions, the third-row seats can also be flattened in the boot to ensure maximum cargo space.
