General information and overview

The Kia Carens CNG is an extension of the successful Carens model, designed to cater to the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles in India. It will be powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which is a departure from the usual naturally aspirated engines seen in CNG variants. This engine produces 140PS of power and 242Nm of torque, ensuring that performance is not significantly compromised. The Carens CNG will come with a 6-speed manual transmission and possibly an automatic gearbox option. The vehicle retains its premium interior and features, with the addition of a CNG tank in the boot, which still allows for usable boot space. With its competitive pricing, impressive mileage, and robust feature set, the Carens CNG is set to be a strong contender in the Indian MPV market.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Kia Carens CNG is a significant addition to the Indian automotive market, particularly in the 7-seater MPV segment, where the Maruti Ertiga and XL6 have held a strong grip. By introducing a CNG variant, Kia is strategically targeting the budget-conscious buyer who prioritizes fuel efficiency without compromising on features and interior quality. The decision to pair the CNG setup with the 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine is a bold move, as it offers a unique blend of performance and economy. While the power figures might drop slightly in CNG mode, the expected mileage of 23 to 24 kmkg is impressive. Overall, the Carens CNG is poised to be a compelling option for those seeking a feature-packed, fuel-efficient MPV.

Recent news and announcements

The Kia Carens CNG represents an interesting development in India's MPV segment, offering buyers a fuel-efficient alternative to conventional petrol variants. Having followed this model's evolution, I find the dealer-fitted CNG option particularly noteworthy, as it allows existing Carens owners to retrofit the system while maintaining warranty coverage. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine paired with the Lovato CNG kit delivers approximately 95-100 bhp in CNG mode, which represents a modest compromise from the petrol variant's 115 bhp. What impressed me is the pricing strategy, with the CNG variant costing just 77,900 rupees more than the Premium O petrol model, making it highly competitive at 11.77 lakh rupees ex-showroom. The claimed fuel efficiency of around 23-24 km/kg justifies this premium for cost-conscious buyers. The seven-seat layout remains intact, and the boot space reduction appears manageable for practical use. The three-year warranty on the CNG kit provides adequate peace of mind. This offering effectively broadens Carens' appeal to buyers prioritizing running costs without sacrificing the premium interior appointments and features that made the original model popular across Indian markets.

I've been tracking the Kia Carens CNG closely since its recent introduction in India, and it's a smart addition to the MPV segment for fuel-conscious families. Available exclusively in the Premium (O) variant with a dealer-fitted Lovato CNG kit on the 1.5-litre Smartstream petrol engine, it delivers 113.42 bhp at 6300 rpm and 144 Nm at 4500 rpm, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, making it responsive for city drives despite the dual-fuel setup. Priced at Rs 11.77 lakh ex-showroom in New Delhi, the on-road figure hits around Rs 13.62 lakh including RTO and insurance, just Rs 77,900 more than the equivalent petrol model, which feels like good value against rivals like the Maruti Ertiga ZXI (O) CNG. Key highlights include a touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear AC vents, one-touch tumble second-row seats, six airbags, ESC, and a rear camera, all in a spacious seven-seater layout with 216-litre boot space. The kit comes with a three-year or 1 lakh km third-party warranty, and while official ARAI mileage is listed at 12.6 km/kg, real-world figures should hover higher for highway runs. It's not factory-fitted, so check dealer reliability, but for premium features and economy in an MPV, this nails it perfectly for Indian roads.

I recently had the opportunity to explore Kia's latest offering in the Indian market, and I must say the Carens CNG variant presents an interesting proposition for budget-conscious family buyers. Launched as a dealer-fitted option rather than a factory installation, this CNG variant is priced at Rs 11.77 lakh ex-showroom, making it just Rs 77,900 more expensive than the petrol Premium O trim. What impressed me most is that Kia has managed to retain the seven-seat layout and key features including the eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, six airbags, and rear AC vents. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox maintains its 115 hp and 144 Nm of torque specifications, though actual performance figures with the CNG kit haven't been officially disclosed. The Lovato-supplied government-approved CNG kit comes with a reassuring three-year warranty covering up to one lakh kilometres. Available in six attractive color options, this variant addresses India's growing demand for cost-effective fuel alternatives while maintaining practicality for family usage. The on-road price in major cities hovers around Rs 13.5 lakh, making it competitive against similarly positioned alternatives in the MPV segment.
February 7, 2026
Kia India has rolled out the Carens CNG option exclusively on the Premium (O) variant, adding a Lovato-supplied dealer-fitted kit for an extra Rs 77,900 over the petrol model's Rs 10.99 lakh ex-showroom price, bringing the on-road figure around Rs 13.5 lakh in major cities. I find this a smart move for cost-conscious families eyeing fuel efficiency in the MPV segment, as it pairs the familiar 1.5-litre Smartstream petrol engine—115hp and 144Nm on petrol, dropping to roughly 95-100hp on CNG—with a six-speed manual gearbox and direct CNG start capability. The kit carries a third-party 3-year/1 lakh km warranty, retaining key features like the 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, roof AC vents, one-touch tumble second-row seats, six airbags, ESC, TPMS, and a 216-litre boot that might see minor reduction from the CNG tank. Available in six colors including Imperial Blue and Gravity Grey, it slots against rivals like the Maruti Ertiga CNG, offering premium touches without factory homologation hassles, though real-world mileage awaits confirmation beyond the claimed 12-17 km/kg range. This keeps the Carens relevant for fleet buyers and urban runs where CNG rules.
February 7, 2026
The Kia Carens CNG is expected to launch in India around December 2024, with a projected price range of Rs. 10.00 lakh to Rs. 17.50 lakh. This new variant will feature a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and will be available with both manual and automatic transmissions. The CNG version is anticipated to offer slightly less power than its petrol counterpart but will provide a more fuel-efficient option.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Kia Carens CNG is expected to be priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price is anticipated to range from 15.00 lakh to 17.50 lakh, depending on the variants. This pricing strategy positions the Carens CNG favorably against its competitors, the Maruti Ertiga CNG and XL6 CNG. On-road prices will likely be higher, adding registration, insurance, and other costs, but the estimated price hike of 80,000 to 90,000 over the petrol variants seems reasonable given the added benefit of CNG. This pricing makes the Carens CNG an attractive option for buyers looking for a balance between affordability and features.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Kia Carens CNG is a key selling point, with an estimated 23 to 24 kmkg in CNG mode. This is particularly appealing in a country where fuel costs are a significant concern. Although the ARAI has not yet tested the Carens CNG, the projected mileage is promising and aligns with the expectations from a CNG-powered vehicle. For buyers concerned about running costs, the Carens CNG offers a viable solution, combining good fuel efficiency with the practicality of a 7-seater MPV.
