Kia India has revealed more details on the upcoming Carens. While the bookings are slated to open on 14 January, 2022, the carmaker has confirmed that the Carens will be offered in five variants and three engine options. We tell you more about the variants and the features on offer.

The Carens will be broadly available in five variants – Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury, and Luxury Plus. All the variants will be equipped with standard safety features like six airbags, all wheels with disc brakes, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX anchor points, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and more. The Carens can be had in eight exterior shades that include Imperial Blue, Intense Red, Gravity Grey, Aurora Black, Glacier White, Clear White, Moss Brown, and Sparkling Silver. 

Coming to the cabin, three interior themes are bifurcated based on the variant one chooses. The base Premium trim gets a two-tone black and beige theme with indigo accents while the mid-spec Prestige and Prestige Plus variants are adorned in a similar shade, sans the indigo inserts.
