New X-Line Variant Of The Popular MPV
The Carens X-Line variant brings a stylish Matte Graphite exterior color option and several eye-catching enhancements. These include a glossy black finish on the radiator grille, front and rear bumpers, ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors), skid plate, and side door garnish. In terms of the interior, the Carens X-Line boasts an exclusive "Xclusive Two-Tone Black and Splendid Sage Green" theme. The seats, armrests, steering wheel, and gear lever cover feature contrasting orange stitching.
Moreover, the X-Line variant comes with a unique rear seat entertainment package, setting it apart from other variants. This package offers access to a range of entertainment and news apps, including podcasts and screen mirroring. An interesting feature allows passengers to operate the rear screens using a smartphone app, enhancing the in-cabin entertainment experience.
The X-Line variant provides flexibility in powertrain choices, allowing customers to choose between the petrol or diesel engine. The petrol variant comes with a seven-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), while the diesel variant is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. Notably, the Carens X-Line is exclusively offered in the six-seater configuration.
Verdict
Kia Carens has cut down on colour options and this is a not so frequent but common course of action by manufacturers. This is an outcome of very low demand of the choice and hence the taken step. Meanwhile you still have a diverse choice of themes to select from.
