The car comes with a 1600cc, 4-cylinder engine that produces 135 hp and 165 Nm of torque, and is mated to a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. It also comes with a 58-liter fuel tank. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds and is front-wheel drive. The Carens achieves a fuel consumption of 6.4 liters per 100 km. The top speed is 180 km/h.
The engine delivers good responsiveness and performance, but due to the vehicle's heavy weight of over a ton and a half, it struggles and makes a loud, noisy sound.
The transmission shifts well, and you don't feel the shifts too much. The transmission provides smooth shifting and is in perfect harmony with the vehicle's engine.
There are many complaints about the car's high fuel consumption due to its being a family car, but most owners confirm that consumption is average and not high except in cases of aggressive driving, where fuel consumption increases significantly.
The Kia Carens is a member of the MPV family. It's a large vehicle with seating for seven and ample storage space. The interior is well-suited for family use, with comfortable seating. It can also be used for various trips within cities and for commuting.
The Kia Carens is approximately 4,525 mm long and 1,805 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm and a total height including loading beams of 1,610 mm. The vehicle weighs 1,429 kg with a 492-liter trunk.
Thanks to its longer wheelbase and the latest interior design technologies, the Carens offers a spacious cabin with room for up to seven passengers, in addition to the trunk. The second-row seats can also slide forward 240 mm, providing easy access to the third-row seats.
For young people and those seeking driving pleasure, the Kia Carens doesn't offer this option, as it's primarily a family car, so this isn't a drawback.
The car offers good cabin insulation at both slow and high speeds, and the side glass areas are large, making it suitable for families.
It can be said that the car solved the problem of the driver's seat being too high in the previous generation, offering a better height in the third generation. This provides greater driver comfort and increased space in the second row, especially with the possibility of a dining table in the back of the front seats. The rest of the car's seats are comfortable and suitable for long trips.
The car's main drawback is its extremely narrow third row, which is only suitable for children in terms of space. Accessing and exiting the seats in this row is also extremely difficult.
Storage space in the car is considered poor when the third row is in place. However, when the third row is folded, the car provides ample storage space, especially since the loading sill is low, making loading easier, and there is a storage area under the floor. The luggage compartment capacity reaches 492 liters. There are also numerous storage spaces inside the car.
When all seven seats are occupied, the minimum cargo capacity is 103 liters. When the front and second row seats are in use, the cargo capacity increases to 492 liters. Up to 1,667 liters can be carried when the second and third rows are folded. A total of 13 storage spaces are also provided inside the cabin.
The car offers three steering wheel modes (standard, comfort, and sport), as well as steering wheel controls for the CD radio, cruise control, and Bluetooth.
The car is considered one of the few cars with faults, but as for spare parts, they can be considered a bit expensive, although they are available to a good extent, whether at the dealership or from importers.
The second-generation Kia Carens faced issues with rollover and body roll at high speeds and on fast curves. The third-generation model addressed this problem to some extent, but it didn't completely eliminate it. The model still experiences body roll during curves, and a loss of traction and oversteer can be felt, meaning the rear end rolls more than the front.
It can also be argued that the car's steering is disconnected from the driver's feel, and therefore may not be precise or quick, which is typical for this class of family car.
The car's ground clearance of 160 mm is average, and there are numerous complaints about its traction on bumps due to its weight, as the ground clearance is lower than the previous generation.
The car features a compact CTBA rear suspension system, which replaces the multi-link system in the previous model. Many people also confirm that the suspension is not comfortable and dry, and that this is due to the design of the suspension (torsion beam).The car lacks many of the basic safety features in this price range.
