The buying experience was good, delivered within 4 weeks after booking. Knowledgeable sales executive.
Just drove 150 km with only one long drive of 70 km till now so difficult to say about the wholesome drive experience.
But it is comfortable to drive, I don't feel I am driving a 7-seater even in the city. Nice road presence.
Great features, a nice music system.
Turbo petrol - good power delivery but with a lag
I test-drove Taigun And it also has a lag when you shift from 1st to 2nd so i think turbo comes with lag between lower gears. iMT is working fine, very easy to drive.
Only the reverse gear is sometimes clingy.
Ample space no doubt. Nice dual-tone interior.
The reverse camera is good.
Cons:
Even at this price 16+ lakhs
Headlights are not good( a simple halogen), Kia please replace those with LEDs in prestige model
Doors thud sound is not like tatas and Volkswagen honestly
No alloy wheels are big let down in the prestige model, only starts with prestige plus
Mileage - Not complaining but giving a heads-up that one should expect a very low mileage of under 10 in petrol with Carens, especially with Turbo engine within the city and 14-15 on highways
