Moreover, it is the lightest model in the complete range, weighing 2,090 kg (kerb). Since the platform is unchanged, the RWD also supports the 270 kW fast charging. With the help of rapid charging, it can be charged from 10-80 per cent in just 18 minutes; equating to a range of 272 km in just 10 minutes of charging time. Customers can save up to Rs 87 lakh by opting for the RWD version instead of the Turbo top-spec trim. Also read: 2025 Kia Carens new model spotted testing again, launch soon?
