Kia India has launched the much-anticipated Kia Carens Facelift 2025, enhancing its popular 6- and 7-seater MPV with a bolder design, advanced ADAS safety features, and an upgraded turbocharged powertrain. Priced from ₹10.89 lakh (ex-showroom), the refreshed Carens is aimed at families who want space, comfort, and cutting-edge features in one versatile package.
New Front Design and Premium Road Presence
The 2025 facelift brings a stylish new front grille, LED DRLs with a revised headlamp setup, and a more sculpted bumper that adds depth to its stance. The alloy wheels have also received a sportier design, and the rear has been tweaked with connected LED tail lamps and a sharper bumper line. With new dual-tone color schemes and refreshed accents, the Carens now feels more mature and SUV-like on the road.
Modern Interior with Tech-First Experience
Inside the Carens 2025, the dashboard has been refined with a horizontal layout, larger touchscreen interface, and soft-touch surfaces for a more premium feel. The updated infotainment system now supports over-the-air updates, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Ambient lighting, a powered driver seat, rear sunblinds, and roof-mounted rear A/C vents make the cabin comfortable and tech-savvy across all three rows.
Now Equipped with ADAS for Safer Journeys
One of the biggest upgrades in the facelift is the addition of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). The Carens now features lane keep assist, forward collision warning, high-beam assist, driver attention alert, and leading vehicle departure warning. This puts the Carens ahead in its segment when it comes to family safety, offering peace of mind on highways and in city traffic alike.
Turbocharged Performance and Mileage
The Carens 2025 is powered by a refined 1.5L turbo petrol engine that produces 160 PS and is paired with a smooth 7-speed DCT. It also continues to offer a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.5L diesel engine, giving buyers options based on driving needs. Kia claims improved mileage across all variants, with the turbo petrol delivering up to 18.4 kmpl and the diesel offering over 21 kmpl, making the Carens one of the most efficient large family cars in India.
Variants and Pricing
The Carens is offered in multiple trims including Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury, and Luxury Plus. Buyers can choose between 6- and 7-seater configurations. Prices range from ₹10.89 lakh for the base petrol manual to ₹18.49 lakh for the top-spec turbo automatic with ADAS. Bookings are open online and at Kia dealerships across India.
Conclusion
With the Carens Facelift 2025, Kia has reinforced its position in the Indian MPV market by offering a vehicle that’s not just spacious but also smart, safe, and stylish. The combination of bold design, turbocharged performance, ADAS features, and three-row comfort makes it a top choice for modern families looking for a premium yet practical ride.
