Pros & Cons of KIA Carens

• What we admire in this car

  • 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

• What could have been better

  • 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

  Smart Alternative
  • 
  I purchased this vehicle two years ago, and I’m fully satisfied with its features and performance. Whether it's a short trip or a long journey, there’s no need to worry about space or mileage — it handles both effortlessly. If you dream of owning a Toyota Innova but your budget doesn’t quite allow it, the Kia Carens is a fantastic alternative. It’s a proper 7-seater, budget-friendly, and delivers great value for the money. You can trust it without hesitation.
