Kia has been selling roughly 5,000 units of the Carens every month. The Carens has been doing quite well for the South Korean automaker. Launched in 2022, it was Kia’s fourth offering in the Indian market, after the hot-selling Kia Seltos, Kia Carnival and Kia Sonet. A camouflaged Kia Carens was recently spied testing, which hints at Kia launching a facelift of the MPV in the near future. Read more about it down below.

Kia Carens Facelift Spied

The Carens facelift that was spied featured new alloy wheels and hinted at a refreshed exterior design. We might also get to see redesigned bumpers, new headlights, and tail lights on the facelifted Kia Carens, similar to the ones that are seen on Kia’s newer models. The powertrains are likely to be retained from the current model range. There’s no information about the interior or features yet, but we do expect an upgrade on these fronts as well. It is reasonable to expect ADAS functionalities and a 360-degree camera setup at the least.
