The Kia Carens Luxury Plus Diesel AT 6 STR is a compelling option in the Indian market, especially for those seeking a blend of luxury, comfort, and practicality. This variant stands out with its extensive list of features, including ventilated front seats, a sunroof, cruise control, and a premium 8-speaker Bose sound system. The cars interior is particularly impressive, with a dual-tone dashboard, ambient lighting in 64 colors, and leatherette-wrapped door trims. The driving experience is enhanced by the smooth 1.5-liter diesel engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, making it suitable for both city and highway driving.

Price

The Kia Carens Luxury Plus Diesel AT 6 STR is priced at Rs. 19.21 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which places it in a competitive segment. When you factor in the RTO and other costs, the on-road price in Delhi comes to around Rs. 22.64 lakh. This pricing makes it a viable option against competitors like the Tata Nexon Fearless Plus S Dark Diesel AMT and the Hyundai Creta SX (O) Diesel AT. The EMI for this variant would be approximately Rs. 41,309, making it a significant investment but one that is justified by the extensive features and comfort it offers. The price reflects the premium nature of the vehicle, and it is well-positioned in the market to attract buyers looking for a high-end MPV.
