  • The diesel-manual combination is obviously the most fuel efficient, followed by the diesel-AT. 

  • The turbo-petrol engine is more efficient than the naturally aspirated petrol engine. Although, there’s hardly any difference (0.5kmpl to 0.8 kmpl). 

  • The DCT variants are slightly more efficient than the turbo-petrol’s manual variants. 

While acceleration in an MPV is not important, you can still see the turbo-petrol manual combination is the quickest here. It can complete the 0-100kmph sprint in 10 seconds, while the DCT completes the same in 10.2 seconds. 

The Carens borrows the Seltos’ 140PS 1.4-litre turbo-petrol and 115PS 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines. A 6-speed manual will be standard and the automatic options will only come with the diesel (6-speed AT) and the turbo-petrol mill (7-speed DCT). 

The Kia Carens is offered in 6 and 7-seater configurations. You’ll have five variants to choose from: Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury, and Luxury Plus.
