The Kia Carens stands out in the Indian MPV market with its unique blend of bold SUV-inspired design, refined interiors, and smart family-focused features. It redefines what a modern multi-purpose vehicle can offer — combining the spacious practicality of a 7-seater with the flair of a crossover. From its signature tiger-nose grille to its sculpted lines and LED DRLs, the Carens delivers strong road presence while remaining practical for everyday use.

Inside, the Carens is thoughtfully crafted to prioritize space, flexibility, and comfort. Its three-row seating layout is available in both 6 and 7-seater configurations, making it ideal for joint families or long road trips. Premium materials, ambient lighting, and a clean dashboard design with an integrated 10.25-inch touchscreen create a plush and tech-savvy cabin. Ventilated front seats, rear AC vents, and foldable third-row seats further enhance comfort and utility.

Under the hood, the Carens comes with multiple powertrain options including a 1.5L petrol, a powerful 1.5L turbo-petrol, and a fuel-efficient 1.5L diesel engine — all paired with manual, iMT, IVT, or 6-speed automatic transmissions. This wide variety ensures there’s a Carens for every type of driver, whether you’re focused on mileage, performance, or smooth urban commutes. The suspension is well-tuned to Indian roads, offering a composed and comfortable ride quality.

Safety is also a major highlight of the Carens, with features like 6 airbags as standard, ESC, hill-start assist, TPMS, and all-wheel disc brakes across variants. With a 3-star Global NCAP safety rating and advanced driver aids in higher trims, it offers peace of mind for families.
