Kia Carens โ€“ Exterior Design

Sharing its underpinnings with the Seltos SUV, the Carnes has a more MPV-like stance and lacks the aggressiveness of an SUV. It debuts the brandโ€™s global โ€˜Opposites Unitedโ€™ design language in India, featuring Kiaโ€™s latest iteration of the tiger-nose grille up front, flanked by Y-shaped LED daytime running lamps with a split headlamp setup underneath. The Recreational Vehicle (RV) also gets body cladding all around the car, giving it a slightly rugged appearance.
