The Kia Carens is expected to go on sale in India this month.

The Korean carmaker recorded a healthy 147.77 per cent growth on month-on-month (MoM) basis, but that's primarily due to a low base in December 2021 as the company sold just 7,797 units, citing chip shortage as the major reason for the drop in volumes. The brand has sold around 3.9 lakh units in the last 30 months of sales operation in the country.
