Kia Carens Now Available In Only Premium (O) Variant

Kia India has silently delisted all the variants of the Carens except for the one-above-base Premium (O) trim, ahead of the launch of the new Carens Clavis, which is essentially a facelift version of the MPV. The Clavis will be sold alongside the existing model.

Interestingly, the Kia Carens Premium (O) trim is available in all three engine options. It comes only in a 7-seater configuration.
