  • The lightweight and small dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre
  • The car offers many features. Such as a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, LED headlamps, cruise control, and headlamp washer.
  • The 4X4 hardware is standard across all trims
  • The 1.5-litre NA K15B engine is fuel efficient. It also comes with the option of a smooth torque converter automatic transmission.

  • 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
Cons
  • The 1.5-liter NA petrol engine with 103 bhp power isn't as enjoyable to drive as the engines in the Thar and Gurkha.
  • The small size doesn't give it a tough off-roader look
  • The steering isn't light; it feels firm
  • The 5-speed manual transmission has a heavy clutch
  • The footwell area is a bit cramped; tall drivers might find it uncomfortable
  • Strictly a 4-seater; fitting a 5th passenger will be difficult
  • It lacks some features like LED DRLs, TPMS, and auto wipers, among others
  • There's limited storage inside the cabin, and the boot space is only suitable for small bags
  • 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
