Kia Carens, the upcoming three-row car from the South Korean automaker, is ready to have world premiere on December 16, 2021. While its official details are yet to be revealed, the model is likely to be a 6/7-seater compact MPV that will challenge the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Carens (codenamed Kia KY) is currently in testing phase and it has been caught on camera multiple times. Based on the latest spy pictures, a digital rendering previews the upcoming Kia MPV in five bright colour schemes.
The rendered model features a large grille with a running chrome strip, dual-beam LED projector headlamps with DRLs and a wide air dam with a thin chrome trim on the front bumper. The side profile has been adorned with the black plastic claddings on the pronounced wheel arches and door sills, roof rails, blacked out pillars, window sills with chrome trim and bold shoulder creases. The MPV has been equipped with the 5-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels. The rendering doesn’t show its rear section.
Measuring around 4.5 meters in length, the Kia Carens will share its platform, features and components with the Seltos SUV. In fact, its engines are likely to be borrowed from its 5-seater SUV sibling. The MPV is reported to be offered with the 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbo diesel and 1.5L, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engines delivering power worth 113bhp with 250Nm and 244Nm respectively. Both motors might come with the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox options. Read – Kia Seltos To Get A New Diesel iMT Variant In 2022

It will also come with the segment-first electric button providing access to the third row seats. Other key highlights will include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the smartphone connectivity, a digital instrument cluster, a leather wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, Bose audio system, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and more.
