• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Sharp, aggressive styling offers a strong road presence Longest in the segment, translating to generous cabin space and legroom The new platform and revised suspension deliver a comfortable ride quality Feature-rich from the base variant itself Strong safety kit offered across the range Well-laid-out, practical cabin with easy-to-reach controls Wide engine lineup: 1.5L NA petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel	It offers 3 fuel types to suit various needs The Carens offers a premium cabin feel with 6 & 7 seater option It comes with features like a ventilated seat, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment, an electric sunroof, wireless charging, automatic climate control and others The safety kit includes 6 airbags, all-4 disc brakes, ESP, ABS, VSM, and others The space inside the cabin is sufficient to carry big families The six-seater variant comes with second-row captain seats for enhanced comfort The ride quality of the Carens is impressive, despite being a long vehicle it gives normal car-like road manners The one-touch topple-down second-row seats give easy access to the third-row Availability of automatic transmission in all three powertrain options
  Cons	The diesel automatic lacks excitement behind the wheel Top variant misses premium features like an electric co-driver seat, powered tailgate, and rear seat ventilation Turbo-petrol misses a proper manual gearbox option The new design is a bit polarising and may not appeal to everyone. Excessive Number Variants can Confuse Buyers Rivals offers much more accurate handling	The pricing of the top-spec variant is too high Six-seater configuration is available in the top-spec variants only The third row feels a little crammed mostly suitable for kids The positioning of the air purifier eats up the kneeroom of the second-row passenger behind the driver The reliability of the DCT gearbox is a question It misses on some features such as a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and some others The diesel engine does not offer a proper manual gearbox, it comes with an iMT unit
