Good Product Proposition but lot of improvement required

The car serves our purpose…overall product proposition is fantastic, saving us lot of money. Actual range is 200-220 km in full charge and not 325 km as claimed. But then Tata still needs to figure out the quality-related stuff…gaps in panels, panels coming off, roof rubber coming off…not expect this from such a large brand. Such minor issues impact the image of the brand.

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 .

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.
