The Carens MPV from Kia has been updated with new powertrains, transmissions, and other features as standard. The new version replaces the former 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 160PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and a new iMT transmission. The Carens has priced between Rs. 10.45 lakh and Rs. 18.95 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), with all Turbo model variations except the base Premium seeing a price hike of Rs. 50,000.

With an iMT transmission option and a 1.5-litre engine that complies with BS6 Phase 2, Kia has revised its Carens diesel models. The diesel automatic combo offers only the top-spec Luxury Plus option, which costs between Rs 18.90 and Rs 18.95 lakh and includes a Rs 50,000 surcharge for BS6 Phase 2 compliance. The pricing difference between the diesel manual trims and the iMT variants is Rs 50,000.

More features are now standard on the Kia Carens MPV, including a 12.5-inch digitised instrument display and built-in Alexa connection. The higher-end Luxury trim also has a leather-wrapped gear knob, but the Prestige Plus trim also has it. The Carens also provides several high-end features, such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen, cruise control, electric second-row seats that can be folded down with just one touch, an electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, six airbags, and a rear parking camera. The Carens is positioned as a high-end alternative to other MPVs, including the Toyota Innova Crysta and some models of the Maruti Ertiga, and the XL6 and XL6.
