Auto Expo 2023: Kia Carens Ambulance & Police Car – All Details Inside
The South Korean automaker Kia once again managed to attract media at the Auto Expo 2023 by showcasing the Ambulance and Police Car versions of the Carens MPV.
That being said, both the Kia Carens Ambulance and Police Car sported white exterior shade. However, the Kia Carens Ambulance came with additional yellow and red decals, whereas the Kia Carens Police Car wears red and blue decals.
Diving into details, the Ambulance version of the Kia Carens gets large Ambulance lettering on the front and rear of the vehicle. On top of that, the Kia Carens Ambulance also sported numerous changes on the outside and inside to be able to qualify as an Ambulance. However, the South Korean automaker is yet to reveal more details on it.
However, looking at the images, we can clearly see and identify some of the modifications done by Kia to convert the 7-seater MPV into an ambulance. This includes an emergency light bar on the top of the Carens Ambulance and we also expect this to be accompanied by a loud siren as well.
Stepping inside the Carens Ambulance, the second and third row seating has been completely replaced by a wheeled stretcher and a rear-ward facing seat along with a few other emergency medical equipment. Moreover, we expect Kia will be capable of providing more equipment if demanded.
Speaking about the Kia Carens Police Car, this version of the MPV also gets a roof-mounted light bar, but with red and blue lights. Moreover, this light bar seems to be a more advanced unit than the one in the Carens Ambulance as is seems to houses an emergency LED display with illuminated direction signs.
Also, Kia is yet to reveal the powertrain options for the Carens Ambulance and Carens Police Car. Moreover, looking at the images, we expect both these versions to be based on the base variant of the Carens MPV as both iterations come with fender-mounted turn indicators and halogen headlamps.
