About this generation

The fourth generation of the Kia Carens cross-MPV built on K2 platform featuring Opposites United design. The model combines proven engineering reliability, refined ergonomics, and great comfort.

The fourth-generation Kia Carens (KY) officially debuted in December 2021 in India. Built on Hyundai-Kia's versatile K2 platform with a 2,780 mm wheelbase and 195 mm ground clearance, it was transformed into a stylish 3-row family cross-MPV seating 6 or 7 passengers in executive comfort. This generation of the Carens (KY) was in production since 2022 and offered in minivan body styles. Built on an engineered platform, it features strong structural rigidity, refined aerodynamics, and advanced occupant safety engineering. The generous wheelbase and clever interior packaging ensure superior passenger accommodation and ergonomic comfort for long travel.

Engines include 1.5L atmospheric (115 hp), 1.4L/1.5L T-GDI turbo petrol units (140-160 hp), and a 1.5L CRDi diesel (115-116 hp). The powertrain lineup features modern engines optimized for thermal efficiency, balancing responsive acceleration with economical fuel consumption. Power is delivered through reliable manual or automatic transmissions. Mid-cycle updates introduced modernized LED lighting graphics, premium cabin materials, and enhanced active driver assistance suites. The model achieved strong global commercial success thanks to its balanced blend of versatility, efficiency, and owner value.
