Spy shots confirm Kia's 3-row model to be called Carens

The Kia Carens will be officially unveiled on December 16, 2021.

The latest spy images of Kia's upcoming 3-row model have confirmed that the car will be called Carens.

Earlier, Kia had filed a trademark application for the 'Carens' nametag. It had led to speculations that it could be the name given to the new 3-row model. Now, spy images have revealed the car's 3-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel featuring the 'Carens' logo.

The Kia Carens is expected to share its platform with the Seltos and could use the same 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines. In the Seltos, the 1.5-litre petrol engine puts out 113 BHP and 144 Nm, while the 1.5-litre diesel makes 113 BHP and 250 Nm. While the petrol engine comes paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT, the diesel gets a 6-speed manual transmission only.
