Why the Kia Carens is winning hearts part 2

Usually when carmaker’s talk about the last of seats on any car it’s usually lip service to the space on offer but not in the case of the Carens. Even the last row is surprisingly good in terms of space. Yes, admittedly taller folks will prefer the middle row but people who are around 5 feet 6 inches in height or less will be more than happy to spend time in there without too much fuss.

The middle row, especially on the version with the captain seats is spacious and the large glass area all around means that the cabin feels nice, bright and airy as well.

All rows of seats have good cushioning and support and even on long journeys that can last over 3 hours, passengers will be largely happy in these seats. What’s more to want when space is your number one priority.

The car is available with multiple engine and gearbox options. This opposed to the single petrol engine of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 gives buyers the opportunity to pick and choose the best variant for themselves. You can choose the base petrol trim with no sunroof and no alloy wheels but multiple airbags for safety or you can go for the X-line version with all the bells and whistles. The choice also extends to a diesel engine or a turbo petrol along with a naturally aspirated petrol on offer. Gearbox choices include automatics including dual clutch options as well. This flexibility is appreciated by car buyers.
