• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	It offers 3 engine options to suit various needs The Carens offers a premium cabin feel with 6 & 7 seater option It comes with features like a ventilated seat, 10.25-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	Feature-loaded with large touchscreen, ADAS and connected tech Plush ride quality ideal for long journeys Smooth and easy-to-drive engines (petrol and diesel) Spacious and comfortable cabin, especially the second row
  Cons	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	Not engaging to drive, soft dynamics at higher speeds Third row not ideal for adults No diesel automatic option available
