2025 Kia Carens
The facelift of the Kia Carens will bring several new cosmetic updates as well as new features inside, to match up with other Kia models, especially the Syros, which set the bar at an ultimate high. Although the fully camouflaged Carens has been spied several times, this time, the new images speak a lot of details. First of all, the LED headlights will be newly designed, and the placement of the LED DRLs will change, as visible from the photos.
The side profile features newly designed 16-inch crystal-cut alloys, quite similar to what we have seen in the Seltos. At the rear, the Carens might join the Sonet and Seltos in offering connecting LED DRLs, which have become the most-followed trend in the automotive industry. Now, on the features front, which were not available in the current model of the Carens:
At the front windshield, the camera placement is easily visible, making it the latest Kia car to get ADAS features. Also, we believe this will be Level 2, considering the current trend in the automotive industry, plus its hefty price tag, as only its top trims will get this, and those cost upwards of 20 lakh on-road. Moreover, a panoramic sunroof is included, a much-awaited feature, as Indians are crazy about it. The current model of this MPV features only a single-pane sunroof, so this addition is expected to attract more sales.
Other features that we believe this car would get are rear seat ventilation, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with OTA updates, Harman/Kardon speakers, a newly designed steering wheel, and new interior upholstery.
