Kia Carens India Launch On February 15: Expected Price, Variants, Seats, Colours & More Details

The Kia Carens is available in 5 variants and 8 exterior colour options. Customers can choose between 6-seater and 7-seater configurations with the middle-row offered as captain chairs or a single bench seat. The 6-seat option is only available on the top-spec Luxury Plus trim.

Speaking about Kia Carens, the upcoming MPV looks very upmarket and stylish with its sleek split headlamps and Y-shaped DRLs. Moreover, its diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome elements add much essential 'Bling' to attract the Indian audience.

Like other Kia vehicles, expect the upcoming Kia Carens to be packed with all the latest features and the model also meets the expectations with inclusion of features such as the Kia's UVO connected car tech, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, electric sunroof, ambient lighting and many more.

Apart from that, the Kia Carens will also feature 6 USB-C ports, so all the occupants can charge their digital devices at the same time.

Powering the Kia Carens will be the same engine options that power the smaller Kia Seltos. This means the upcoming 7-seater Kia MPV will get the tried-and-tested 113bhp 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine, 114bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine and the punchy 138bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine.

The Kia Carens could also carry the same transmission options as the Kia Seltos, which means the Kia Carens may feature transmission options such as 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed DCT.

This segment is one of the most competitive segments in the country and customer demands are also high with good expectations for space, features, safety and punchy powertrains.

Moreover, Kia Motors has also rolled out the first batch of Kia Carens from its Anantapur facility in Andhra Pradesh and the South Korean brand has high expectations for the Kia Carens in the Indian automotive market.

Since the company is also one of the fastest-growing automobile brands in India, the company has planned to increase the annual capacity of its manufacturing plant in Andhra Pradesh.

To increase the production capacity at Kia's manufacturing plant in Anantapur, the South Korean automobile company is gearing up to do three shifts in its Anantapur facility to reach the maximum production capacity of 3 lakh units per year.
