Trending Questions on Kia Carens - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking for a 7-seater manual car which is easy to maintain. My budget is around ₹15 lakh. My annual running is 80% on the highway and 20% in the city. I am confused between two options: Carens or Clavis. Please advise which one I should pick and whether to go for a petrol manual or a diesel manual.
I am confused about whether to buy the petrol or diesel variant of the Kia Seltos. I always prefer to drive a manual transmission and am not interested in an automatic at all. I was owning a Kia Carens 1.5 Petrol MT previously and am now looking for a new SUV. Suggest which one to take, either petrol or diesel in the Seltos MT. Also considering the Skoda Kushaq, but afraid of the high maintenance cost in Skoda.
I am looking for a 7-seater with a budget of around ₹12+ lakhs. Occasional highway driving with limited city use. Not looking for the Maruti Ertiga.
Please suggest a 7-seater car within a budget of ₹16 lakh for a monthly running of 1,000 to 1,500 km.
You should consider the Kia Carens diesel. Since your running will be high, it makes sense to opt for the 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The Carens also has a spacious cabin for 7 people, and it comes with features such as an 8-inch touchscreen, a rear camera, TPMS, 6 airbags and more.
The Kia Carens diesel Premium (O) variant is available in a single variant priced at Rs 15.17 lakh (on-road, Delhi).
I’m looking to buy a new car within a budget of a maximum of ₹12-13 lakh. My daily commute to the office is approximately 20km, and sometimes I use my motorcycle as well. So, I usually commute by car about three days a week. Please suggest a car suitable for daily city use and occasional long drives of around 1,500km (to Goa), maybe 3-4 times a year. I need ample luggage space, good suspension, comfortable rear seats for elderly parents, and an efficient, reliable car with relaxed and worry-free ownership. I am considering the Kia Carens Clavis, Ertiga, or anything else that meets my needs. Please suggest an automatic, but not the AMT offered by Maruti.
Hi Team, I am planning to buy a 7-seater car with all the basic required features, great mileage, and easy maintenance. I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Petrol Smart Hybrid Manual and the Kia Carens Premium Optional Diesel Manual. Please advise which one I should pick.
The Kia Carens is a better pick between the two options you are considering. The Carens is a more modern and more spacious MPV compared to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It also has a more powerful and efficient 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine option.
The Kia Carens Premium (O) diesel comes with all necessary features like 6 airbags, TPMS, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a height-adjustable driver's seat and more. The Kia Carens Premium (O) diesel manual is priced at Rs 12.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Hi, I am looking to buy a new car. I already own a Kia Carens Turbo petrol manual and have clocked 30,000 km in three years without any issues. I want to buy another new car, preferably a compact SUV, to drive in Bangalore. I really like the new Seltos, and I’m confused between the 1.5 NA iVT and the 1.5 Turbo IMT. I’m a bit sceptical about the IMT since it was discontinued by Hyundai. My purchase decision will be based on long-term ownership. Kindly provide your thoughts on the same.
Since you already own a turbo-petrol Kia Carens, chances are that you might find the 1.5 NA Petrol's performance a touch lacklustre in comparison. However, since you are looking for a city car, the Seltos Petrol IVT will do the job just fine. This combination is smooth and refined, and the automatic is seamless in its operation. It is an ideal combination for the city, and one we can easily recommend.
The iMT, on the other hand, is paired to the turbo-petrol, and even though there is no clutch pedal, you still have to row through the gears manually. And while the gearshift action is smooth and effort-free, you don't get the absolute convenience of full automatic. So for an effort-free drive, go for the 1.5 Petrol IVT version instead.
Hello, I am looking for 7 seater car for my family which is good on mileage and drive comfort. I am looking for new car for my senior citizen parents and children below 10 years. My budget is around 15 lakh. Pls suggest good option
Considering your requirements, you should take a closer look at the Kia Carens petrol manual. The Carens has a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 7 people with ease, and it has a comfortable ride quality.
The Carens petrol is powered by a 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that's paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The Kia Carens mileage for the petrol-manual variant is 15.70kpl (claimed).
In terms of features, it comes with an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, a rear parking camera, 6 airbags and more. The Kia Carens Premium (O) petrol MT costs around Rs 13 lakh on-road.
Currently, I own a Celerio and am planning to buy an MPV. I’ve shortlisted the XL6, Kia Carens, and Hyundai Alcazar. Please suggest which one is best in terms of mileage and performance. I’ll mostly drive in the city, with 3-4 long rides per year of up to 1,200 km.
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 would best suit your requirements of mileage and performance. Against the others in your shortlist, the 1.5 litre petrol engine in the XL6 offers decent performance and refinement, but a noticeably better fuel efficiency. The engine has a mild-hybrid setup and, in our standard test cycle, returned a figure of 9.2kpl in the city and 17.0kpl on the highway.
We assume, of course, you are comparing petrol versions across the three MPVs in your shortlist, given that the XL6 comes with only a petrol engine. If not, the Kia Carens and Hyundai Alcazar also have diesel engines, and these versions would be more fuel efficient than the petrol XL6.
