Suitable for Indian Roads.

1. Kia has attempted to give the Carens a rugged look by giving it plastic cladding on the sides and roof-rails. However, it still looks like an MPV with the long rear door and smaller wheels. What will surprise many is that the Carens is 40mm longer than the Alcazar at 4540 mm and has a 20 mm longer wheelbase at 2780 mm. The wheelbase is 20mm longer than the Innova crysta. 2. I took a test drive of Kia Carens' top modal D1.5 today. I must say it is quite different experience than XL6. Pros: 1. Better look and features. XL6 is MPV but Kia give you feel of MPV + SUV mix. 2. Seats are more cushiony and ingress to 3rd row is amazing due to one click tumble in 2nd row. 3. Build quality also looks better than seltos and even with XL 6. Doors, Bonett felt heavier. 4. Less body roll than XL6 and handling on speed breakers was good. 5. Quite a big cabin 6. six airbags Cons: 1. Rear view was not so impressive also back chrome finish is only available in top model, without which it will not look better. 2. Seat were comfortable but ergonomic in position, especially the driver seat center hand rest is not slidable which means people like me with less height will find it difficult. Though, and manual adjustment outside of the market should work. 3. Since its window are wide, sun shades are not slidable  The distance between the central arm rest and gear was quite big. 5. Stability is not good. AT model gear shift is easily noticeable  The Center seat of the middle row in the seven-seater variant is not quite usable for adults as it is slightly bubbled. Though I am able to count above cons, I have booked Carens today due to other several advantages.
