This forthcoming car features the Korean brand’s “Opposites United” design language, which seems to be heavily inspired by the premium international-spec Kia SUVs. Built on Kia’s sophisticated technology, the new Carens has a bold front fascia with the brand’s signature Tiger Face design. The new MPV gets LED headlights with LED DRLs, which are divided by a small grille and chrome trim, while the rear air intake also comes with ample chrome embellishment. On the side profile, it sports thick cladding for the wheel arcades.
