The Carens MPV will sport an aggressive front end featuring a split lighting setup, signature LED DRLs, sleek LED headlamps, and a muscular bumper with large air intakes. It will also get alloy wheels, bold character lines and roof rails, sharp-looking wraparound LED taillamps, a sculpted tailgate and an aggressive rear bumper. On the inside, the cabin will see a minimalist design for the dashboard, horizontal air-con vents, multi-functional steering wheel, 10.25-inch Audio Video Navigation Telematics (AVNT) and more.
The upcoming Kia Carens MPV is also expected to carry over the engine options from the Seltos that could include the 1.5-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel. Transmission choices will also be the same. It needs to be seen if Kia introduces the 2.0-litre petrol seen on the Alcazar. When launched, the Kia Carens will take on the likes of the Toyota Innova Crysta, MG Hector Plus, and Hyundai Alcazar among others. It is expected to be launched in the price range of Rs. 16-22 lakh space (ex-showroom).
