The upcoming Carens facelift has been spotted testing on the Indian and global roads multiple times already. Now, the company is ready to take the cover off its new iteration in India on May 8.
As far as we know, the new Carens will have a revised design, which will fall in line with Kia’s current design philosophy. It will get a revised front fascia with new connected LED lights and a new bumper.
Similarly, the side profile will remain largely unchanged, except for the new alloy wheels and flush-type door handles. At the rear, a new set of connected LED lights and a revised bumper design will make their way.
On the inside, the majority of the cabin is expected to remain unchanged. However, it will feature new wireless smartphone features, which will be taken from the new Kia Syros. These will include the fast charging wireless pads, new voice commands, updated ambient lights, and a new cabin theme.
The facelift Kia Carens will also get the level 2 ADAS safety features, including the anti-front collision avoidance assist, lane monitoring and lane departure assist, adaptive cruise control, etc.
Powering the Carens facelift will be the current engine and transmission options. No change is expected in terms of performance and mileage of the new model.
The pricing of the new model is expected to get costlier by a few thousand rupees with the addition of new features.
