Kia India has announced the prices of the 4th gen Carens that debuted in December 2021, which start at INR 899,900 (US$ 11,900), ex-showroom, Pan India. The MPV is available in five trims: Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury and Luxury Plus.
Apparently, the prices are introductory, which means there’s gonna be a price revision in a month or two. As standard, the Carens offers up to 7 seats, and it’s only the Luxury Plus trim that gives you a 6-seater option where the second-row will have two captain’s chairs as opposed to a bench seat in the standard 7-seater variant.
