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 .

Low price better comfort for Indian travelers

Ertiga car was good for mileage maintenance and excellent for middle-class people with big family ..it was more comfortable us to seat and travel all together. So it is better to use a battery-saver and super comfort car.

Impressive 1 year journey with triber

I recently completed a year with my Tiber, and it has exceeded all expectations. The standout feature has to be the remarkably fast car delivery, ensuring I hit the road in no time. Clocking 28k in just one year, it's proven to be the best companion for my daily commute. The dual-tone aesthetics add a touch of sophistication to its already appealing design. The car's sleek appearance turns heads wherever I go. What's even more commendable is the service cost, averaging around 1 rs per km. This cost-effectiveness has certainly made the ownership experience even more enjoyable. In summary, Tiber has not only delivered on its promise of speed but has also been a reliable and cost-efficient choice. Highly recommended for those seeking a stellar driving experience without breaking the bank.

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.
