The interior too has undergone a change for the X-Line variants of the Carens with the cabin sporting a two-tone Black and Splendid Sage Green theme. Also seen is orange contrast stitching on the seats, armrests, door cards, and steering wheel.
However, the biggest change in the cabin of the Kia Carens X-Line comes in the form of the Rear Seat Entertainment unit which allows for Podcasts, Screen Mirroring, Pinkfong, and a variety of other entertainment and news apps. The rear display can be controlled using a smartphone app.
Speaking about the Kia Carens X-Line launch, Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales and Business Officer - Kia India, said, "The distinctive identity of our products has helped us become an aspirational brand, and X-Line's popularity among new-age consumers has elevated it to the next level. We are seeing a lot of new-age buyers considering distinctive and exclusive products while making purchasing decisions, so we decided to extend this trim to our India Car of The Year - Kia Carens. We already have a growing Carens family of 100,000 customers, and the X-Line will significantly expand it."
