Essentially an MPV with a family orientation, the X Line variant of the Kia Carens brings a more aggressive and sporty look to what is a family friendly vehicle. The exterior color is matte graphite, there are red accents and X Line badging that give it a more dynamic look than the standard Carens. Artificial leather seats with orange stitching and a more premium feel are to be found inside. However, this styling does give the Carens a good chance to stand out, and one has to wonder if an MPV requires such a sporty styling at all. Some say it gives an otherwise dull segment a bit of a thrill, others feel it’s trying too hard to be something it’s not. The Kia design approach to this MPV challenges the traditional definition of what an MPV should look like and how it should be marketed.
