Kia carens is top notch vehicle in the segment when considered as 7 seater to buy. front seats and middle captain seats grown up man & last row can be used by kids or 2 avg mans with leg room is just a little tighter but can managed though.

I have rode this car in western ghat. Tested on very difficult turns and elevations. It was smooth as butter with electronic stability control feature. You will notice that engine is initially set for lower rpm (600 only) so you have to put little more throttle. However this gives good mileage (>15) if you use 5th and 6th gear for most of the journey. There is ample space in third row make is truly comfortable 7 seater MPV. better than XUV 700 for third row. Cost is bit higher for top end models but if you use MMM coating it looks more like a luxury car ! Go for it if you have big family (6-7 people)
