2025 Kia Carens facelift launch timeline

As per a latest media report by Autocar India, the Kia Carens facelift launch is all set to take place in April 2025. We expect Kia India dealerships to soon begin accepting unofficial bookings, ahead of the official bookings commencement. It is worth mentioning that Kia India is said to keep the current Carens on sale alongside the upcoming facelift, in order to create a distinction between commercial and private buyers, with the new Carens focusing on more premium positioning.

2025 Kia Carens features

As we are on the topic of 2025 Kia Carens features, prior spy shots gave us a sneak peek into what we can expect from the update. The highlight, of course, is the presence of a panoramic sunroof, making it one of very few affordable MPVs to offer a dual-pane unit. Another notable feature is the ADAS module, as seen in the images, that should enable Level-2 ADAS features in the 2025 Carens. Other upcoming Kia Carens facelift features could include a larger connected binnacle for the 12.3-inch infotainment system as well as instrument cluster, front and rear ventilated seats, surround-view camera, powered driver’s seat and more.

2025 Kia Carens design

Moving on to the way the new Carens would look, there would be plenty of changes in terms of design. The new spy shots of the 2025 Kia Carens design reveal significant changes made to front and rear profiles. Up front, it is going to get vertically-stacked LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs, similar to what we get in the Kia Syros. Other changes at the front could include a reprofiled bumper as well as a tweaked grille design. Around the side, the only perceptible change is going to be a new set of machined alloy wheels while the rear will get new connected LED tail lights and a new bumper. Expect the new Carens design to be EV-like since the same model, at some point, will be also available as an EV.

2025 Kia Carens engine options

The upcoming 2025 Kia Carens engine options are likely to be the same as the current model. These engine options include a 115PS 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 6-speed manual, a 115PS 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission and a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT. 

Kia Carens facelift expected price

Going by the information that the new Carens facelift will be positioned above the current Carens, it is obvious to think that it will be priced higher than the current model too, with certain middle-variants rubbing shoulders with the current top-spec Carens. The top variants of the Kia Carens facelift could command around Rs 1 lakh additional premium over the current top-spec Carens. The Kia Carens currently retails between Rs 10.59 lakh and 19.49 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.

In case you are on a lookout for a Kia Carens at an attractive price point, make sure to consider choosing from a range of certified used Kia Carens MPVs that offer an unmatched value and promise an hassle-free experience.
