Carens 1.5 base petrol

Buying experience was pretty okayish.Nothing much to crib or boast about. The engine's a little under powered given the size of the car. Good highway vehicle. It has one of the most useable 3rd row. My kids love the car. Mileage 11-12 city in summers with AC on and 13-14 in winters with no ac .18-19 when driven by the driver and I manage anything between 18-22 .Overall I'm quiet happy with the buy .

Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

First launched in 2020, followed by a refresh in 2023 with sharper styling, additional features, and an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) suite, the Honda City has landed a spot in our long-term fleet. Sedans are a rare breed here, so this widely popular choice piqued our interest, especially in the new ‘Obsidian Blue’ paint.

2023 Kia Carens Turbo-petrol DCT Review

By Ninad Ambre28 Aug 2023

The 2023 Kia Carens has been updated with engines that comply with Real Driving Emissions (RDE) and E20 (20 per cent ethanol mixed in petrol) fuel standards. The ex-showroom prices range between Rs. 10.45 lakh to Rs. 18.95 lakh. This MPV now gets a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine instead of the older 1.4-litre unit. Then, Kia has also replaced the six-speed manual gearbox with a six-speed iMT on the turbo-petrol and diesel variants. Although there are minor updates to the equipment list, the Carens remains unchanged cosmetically.
