South Korean automobile manufacturer Kia has recently unveiled Kia Carens for the global market. Based on the first impression we can figure it out that the Kia Carens will be a promisable car. This will be the fourth car that will be introduced by the company in India.
Some of the important features that the Kia Carens offers to its customers are mentioned below.
Seat alignment
Kia doesn’t categorize the Kia Carens as an SUV or an MPV. It will be rather a blend of SUV and MPV and will have three seats. Buyers will get an option of 6 or 7 seater variants. An ample amount of space is available for the buyers. The presence of one-touch tumble seats enables the second-row seat to make way for the third row.
Dimensions
In terms of dimensions, the Kia Carens will be as big as the Toyota Innova or the Alcazar. In terms of dimensions, the Kia Carens will be 4540mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1700mm in height. The wheelbase of the car is 2780mm, which is the longest in the segment. Roughly speaking, the whole family can travel at ease in the Kia Carens.
Design
The design of the Kia Carens seems to be similar to that of Kia Seltos. However, it is significantly longer than the Kia Sletos. The split headlamp is a head-turner while the large wheel arches, liberal touches of chrome, and LED lights, add to the beauty of the car.
