Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Carens Turbo Petrol Luxury Plus iMT is a compelling package that caters to the needs of both enthusiasts and practical buyers. The new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, shared with the Hyundai Verna and Alcazar, delivers refined power and linear torque, making it smooth and effortless to drive, especially with a full load. The 6-speed iMT gearbox is well-tuned for city use, relieving the driver from the constant clutch pressing, although it leans more towards convenience than outright performance. The interior remains premium and well-built, with comfortable seating for all rows and a plethora of features like ventilated seats, wireless charging, and a sunroof. However, the lack of visual differentiators for the turbo-petrol engine and the iMT gearbox might be a minor drawback. Overall, its a people-pleaser, offering a great balance of power, comfort, and practicality.

Price

The Kia Carens Turbo Petrol Luxury Plus iMT is priced at around Rs. 17.82 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can go up to approximately Rs. 20-22 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Carens competitively in the MPV segment, offering a rich feature list and robust performance. Given the features and the performance it offers, the price seems justified, especially considering the convenience and refinement of the iMT gearbox. However, its always a good idea to check with local dealers for any ongoing offers or discounts that could make the deal even more attractive.
