Kia Carens comes with all sorts of features you would expect in an MPV. Ambient lighting, one-touch tumble function for the 2nd row seats, premium 8-speaker system from Bose, and electric sunroof are among the most noticeable features of this car. More information about the fuel efficiency, comfort, and safety specifications of this car has been provided in the below sections.
The 1.5-litre NA petrol engine is available only with the 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.5-litre turbo petrol variants come with 6-speed manual, 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), and 6-speed iMT transmission options. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is paired with either the 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter (automatic) transmission.
The dual-tone Kia Carens interior, with a black and beige colour scheme and indigo accents, looks premium. The dashboard painted in indigo metal paint complements the overall interior colour scheme. The front seats come with the ventilated feature and the wireless charging is also integrated with the cooling function.
The petrol variants of Kia Carens claim a mileage of up to 16.66 km/l whereas the diesel variants claim a higher mileage of up to 19.54 km/l. However, the real-world mileage can be lower, especially while driving in the stop-and-go city traffic. The performance of Kia Carens seems to be balanced but the suspension is tuned on the softer side. This means that the comfort in the city will be up-to-the-mark but the ride quality might feel bumpy while cruising on the highway.
Rear parking sensors, central door lock, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and many other advanced safety features are integrated in this car. However, the 360-degree camera is missing even in the top-spec variants. Downhill Brake Control (DBC), Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), and Brakeforce Assist System (BAS) are some of the advanced safety specifications of Kia Carens.
Kia Carens is a huge vehicle with a long wheelbase. Therefore, there is plenty of legroom, headroom, and shoulder room for the rear occupants in this vehicle. The bootspace of 216 litres is available when all the seats are up. When the 3rd row seats are folded, the bootspace increases up to 600 litres. The 2nd row seats are equipped with the 60:40 split seat function whereas the ground clearance of this car is 195 mm which is quite good for the Indian road conditions.
