Carens*
All Aboard
The powerful yet suprisingly refined Kia Carens is designed for adventurous and active lives. With an impressive five-year unlimited mileage warranty, the Carens is a family vehicle well equipped with all the thoughtful touches and safety features you'd expect.
The combination of comfort and versatility puts the Carens in a class of its own. Designed to hold enough space to seat adults, children and friends plus everybody's luggage, but small enough for city traffic and parking spaces. The Carens is available as a 5-seater or 7-seater and the practical flat-folding seats mean you can arrange the ideal configuration for every trip.
Inside the Carens is roomy and resourceful, combining practicality and comfort. With a modern centre fascia that brings all controls within reach and a commanding driving position for a clear all-round view, every trip is a pleasure. The gearshift knob is conveniently located in the middle console, where it's close to hand. For added comfort there is air conditioning, electrically adjustable door mirrors, front and rear electric windows and a CD audio with MP3 player.
Stretch Out
Sporting a long wheelbase and increased height, the interior of the Carens is more spacious than ever, translating into more head room, shoulder room and leg room than traditionally seen in the mid-sized MPV market. The Carens allows you to arrange the five or seven seats to suit your needs whether it's picking up a car full of children or a trip to the shopping centre. The easily adaptable seating configurations makes life easy.
With class-leading levels of versatility, the Carens features creative storage compartments that produce lots of additional space. Storage boxes and pockets throughout ensure that everything is neatly tucked away and within reach, no matter where you sit.
Complete Protection
The advanced safety features of the Carens embedded throughout the vehicle ensure driver and passenger protection at all times. Intensive research and development work has gone into ensuring that high levels of protection are built into the body shell, structure and chassis.
Standard safety features include twin front, twin side and full-length curtain airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners and active head-restraints to protect front passengers against whiplash injuries.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) help prevent wheel locking and give you more control of the vehicle whilst maximising stopping power.
Powerful Performance with Precision
Packed with power, yet quiet and fuel efficient - that is what drives the art and science of Kia's engine technology. The Carens range has a choice of three state-of-the-art engines; from the 1.6 litre petrol to the 1.6 litre derivative which is available in either a fuel-efficient petrol or diesel (CRDi) version.
All engines comply with Euro 4 emission regulations and the diesel engine is fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to reduce harmful exhaust gases without interfering with engine performance. The Carens is available with a 5-speed (petrol) or 6-speed manual transmission (diesel).
Its stiff body and strategically placed panels absorb vibrations and reduce the noise of the engine inside. A fully independant suspension system and Macpherson struts in the front mean the car responds even more precisely for a confident, gentle ride - no matter how bumpy the road ahead.
