Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard in most variants, while top trims also offer a Bose 8-speaker audio system. Wireless charging is included, with a cooling pad to prevent phone overheating, and the Kia Connect app lets you remotely track your car, turn on the AC, or check driving history.
Comfort Features – Built for Indian Families
This car is built with Indian family comfort in mind. You get ventilated front seats that make a huge difference in the summer, and dual-zone climate control with rear AC vents ensures passengers in all rows are comfortable.
The electric sunroof brings in natural light and makes the cabin feel airy. There’s a push-button start with smart key access, and multiple drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—depending on the engine variant you choose.
Safety Features – Standard and Smart
Kia hasn’t compromised on safety. Every variant of the Carens now comes with six airbags as standard. The car is also equipped with essential safety systems like ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control, Hill-Start Assist, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
ADAS – Advanced Driver Assistance System (Top Variants Only)
In its higher trims, the Kia Carens 2025 includes Level-2 ADAS, which is a big deal in this segment. Features like Forward Collision Warning and Avoidance, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Blind Spot Monitoring help reduce the risk of accidents.
Engine Options – Petrol, Diesel, and All-Rounders
The Carens is available in three engine options. First, there’s a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine that delivers 115 PS with a smooth 6-speed manual transmission. Then comes the more powerful 1.5L turbo-petrol engine, which puts out 160 PS and can be paired with either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT automatic.
Finally, for those who prefer diesel, the 1.5L CRDi engine delivers 116 PS and comes with either a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Fuel efficiency across the range stays solid, between 16 to 20 km/l depending on the variant.
