Kia has finally unveiled the price of the Carens in India. The car is the brand’s fourth offering in India after the Seltos, Carnival and Sonet. The car goes up against some of the most popular bages in India like the Toyota Innova Crysta. This means that the competition in the MPV is going to get a little more interesting. Hence, here’s how the car fairs against the ever-popular Toyota Innova Crysta on paper.
Kia Carens Design
Exterior design highlights of the new Kia Carens include full LED headlamps, LED DRLs, ice cube-shaped LED fog lights, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails, wrap-around LED tail lights, a spoiler with an integrated high-mounted stop lamp, and a large chrome insert for the rear bumper.

Toyota Innova Crysta Design
If one must compare the current-gen Innova with its predecessor, the new design takes the conception to a new level. The utilitarian image of the first-gen was completely changed into a much premium offering that people didn’t mind spending a lot. The Innova Crysta comes with sharp-looking headlights and taillights that give it a much premium appeal. Sitting in between the headlights are two chrome slats that add to the premium quotient.
Kia Carens Interior
The interiors of the 2022 Kia Carens will come equipped with an electric sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, a fully-digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging with cooling function, and ambient lighting. The model will be available in five variants.

Kia Carens Performance
In terms of powertrain, the Carens will come with the same options as the Seltos. This means that there will be 1.5-litre petrol, a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine.
