Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Carens Petrol Premium is a solid choice for those seeking a comfortable and feature-rich MPV for family use. While it may not excel in terms of outright performance, particularly in mountainous regions or during overtaking, it shines in its smooth driving experience and effortless city navigation. The engine, though not the most powerful, is well-suited for relaxed driving and provides a comfortable ride. The car is well-equipped with safety features, including six airbags, electronic stability control, and hill hold assist, which are crucial for family safety. However, some users have reported issues with the clutch and mileage, so its important to weigh these factors. Overall, if your priority is comfort, practicality, and a smooth ride, the Kia Carens Petrol Premium is a viable option.

Price

The Kia Carens Petrol Premium variant is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price in New Delhi is approximately Rs. 10.52 lakh. When you factor in the additional costs such as RTO, insurance, and other charges, the on-road price comes to around Rs. 12.18 lakh. This pricing makes it an attractive option compared to other MPVs in its segment, offering a good balance of features and affordability. The monthly EMI for this variant can be around Rs. 23,198, making it manageable for many buyers. However, its always a good idea to check the latest prices and any ongoing offers or discounts that might be available.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 05 September 2024 04:43 PM Kia India has introduced a new variant of the Carens, the Gravity Edition, which is positioned above the Premium (O) variant. This new trim comes with additional premium and technological features such as a dash cam, sunroof, leatherette black upholstery, and a D-Cut leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Gravity Edition is available with three engine options: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel. I believe this upgrade will make the Carens even more appealing to those looking for a luxurious and feature-packed MPV.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 08:17 AM The mileage of the Kia Carens Petrol Premium is a mixed bag based on user reviews and tests. The official mileage is stated to be 15 kmpl, which is reasonable for an MPV of its size. However, real-world mileage can vary. Some users have reported mileage ranging from 9-11 kmpl in city driving, while others have achieved up to 16.5 kmpl on highways. Ideal driving conditions, particularly on highways, can fetch more than 20 kmpl, which is commendable. Its important to note that actual mileage will depend on driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance of the vehicle.
