Kia Carens costs रु 1,05,000 less ex-showroom. Carens has 6.5 PS more power.
At Rs 48.90 lakh, Premium is the more attainable Carens, but it only makes sense if you want a 7-seat Kia badge and can live with the likely basic trim. Buyers focused on equipment-per-rupee will probably want the Prestige or a rival SUV/MPV.
Balances safety with extra features like alloys, ESP and fog lamps. Good choice for buyers wanting more kit than W4 without W8 pricing.
