New Delhi. Major automobile companies have so far launched very few models in the early months of 2025. Now, with the beginning of the new financial year, large brands will try to attract the Indian auto market with new models. In this sequence, today we will take a look at a new Kia 7-seater which is coming to compete the Mahindra XUV700 next month.
Kia has told us that the new model will be different from the current model. At first we hoped that this would be just a facelift, but with this new information, the new model can also get a new name. This new Kia 7-seater will be launched next month and will be expensive than the current Carens.
Spot done during testing
The new model has been seen several times during testing on Indian roads. Its silhouette may be similar to existing carans, but the new model may see some new changes such as new alloy wheels, modified roof rails, and new LED headlamps and taulamps. This model will be more premium and will provide features such as 360-degree camera with 7-seater, rear parking sensor, panoramic sunroof, front and middle row ventilated seats and big screens. Apart from this, it can also contain adas and safety features that will improve its safety ratings and equipment.
Engine and power
Talking about Povertrain, the engine options of Carens MPV in the new Kia 7-seater can be retained. This will include a 1.5-liter petrol engine (113 bhp and 144 Nm), 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine (158 bhp and 253 Nm) and 1.5-liter turbo diesel engine (113 bhp and 250 nm). The responsibility of transmission is given in this car, IMT and DCT gearbox. Apart from this new 7-seater, Kia will also launch an electric version of Carens by June 2025. More information about this upcoming KIA EV will be shared as soon as it comes close to launch.
