These include the more affordable offerings like the 2022 Maruti Ertiga, 2022 Maruti XL6, and the Mahindra Marazzo while the other rivals include Mahindra XUV700, Toyota Innova Crysta, Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, and the Tata Safari. The Carens offers strong competition to the rivals with its VFM pricing, a feature-rich cabin, and sorted powertrain options. It is worth noting that the Maruti Ertiga is currently the best selling 7-seater MPV in the Indian market and with super aggressive pricing, Kia is making all the efforts to give a tough competition to the Ertiga. The XL6 too has been updated recently. In terms of sales, Kia Carens is doing well too and climbing the ladder of success. Overall, Kia Carens caters to the different buyers by offering multiple powertrain options.&nbsp;

The Carens enters a busy segment with ample SUV and MPV options. However, it has immediately become a very popular family vehicle .

<ul>
	<li>The Kia Carens presents a sleek and urban-cool design that is sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers. Built on the K1 platform, the Carens features a low-set hood and prominently placed LED headlights dominating the front fascia. While the side profile may not boast any standout features, the alloy wheel design is attractive, and the rear design aligns well with the overall aesthetic of the Carens.</li>
	<li>Chrome door handles, along with rear wipers, LED headlights, automatic headlamps, LED DRLs, and passive entry, are among the features offered. The car exhibits uniform panel gaps, contributing to its handsome styling. However, competitors may offer a more robust road presence and a SUV-like stance. Overall, Kia has succeeded in giving the Carens a modern and appealing design.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Similar to other Kia and Hyundai vehicles, the new Kia Carens boasts a premium, well-crafted, and feature-rich cabin. There&#39;s ample space inside, and the seats offer comfort and support. While the dashboard layout may resemble the more expensive Carnival, the Carens provides an impressive in-cabin experience for buyers. The fit and finish levels are among the best in the segment.</li>
	<li>The car offers a plethora of features, including the BOSE Premium Sound System with 8 speakers, a wireless charging pad with cooling function, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system, an air purifier, cruise control, front-seat ventilation, steering-mounted controls, a digital instrument console, 12v charging sockets, and 5 USB Type-C charging ports.

However, the light steering wheel does offer decent weight as speeds increase.</li>
	<li>While the high-speed stability is satisfactory, the car may struggle to maintain composure over sharp undulations at triple-digit speeds with a full load. Nevertheless, overall, the Carens is generally trouble-free, boasting respectable capabilities.</li>
</ul>

In all, this newly launched MPV is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and feature-loaded car. However, if you are looking for something that is more capable, strong, and powerful, the other rivals in the segment like the XUV700, Alcazar, and the Tata Safari might be a better bet. That said, the long waiting period will be a deterrent for a lot of buyers and the long-term update too is a question for now.&nbsp;
