Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Carens Diesel Luxury iMT is a compelling package that combines practicality, premium features, and robust performance, making it a strong contender in the MPV segment in India. The absence of a clutch pedal in the iMT variant adds a unique selling point, providing the convenience of an automatic with the engagement of a manual gearbox. The interior is well-built and practical, with features like a sunroof, ventilated seats, and wireless charging that enhance the premium feel. The 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine delivers smooth and predictable power, although there is a slight turbo-lag at lower RPMs. Overall, the Carens offers excellent value for money, especially in the mid and higher trims, making it a favourite among Indian consumers.

The Kia Carens Diesel Luxury iMT is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price in New Delhi is approximately Rs. 17.27 lakh.

This pricing positions the Carens favorably against its competitors, offering a rich feature list and advanced powertrain options that justify the cost. The EMI for this variant can be around Rs. 38,752 per month, making it a viable option for those seeking a premium MPV with extensive features.
