Kia Carens

With Carens, 'mid-sized MPV' doesn't mean middle-of-the-road. This little mover packs a real punch – and a whole load of shopping too. From £14,305 OTR

Choose from petrol or diesel, manual or automatic. All models feature twin airbags, remote locking and air conditioning, so the Carens scores highly on safety and comfort too. And its generous boot gives you oodles of space. Pile in the bikes, picnic, camping gear and the dog – and you’ll still have bags of room for the kids.

  • 5 or 7 flexible seats available
  • Choice of 1.6L petrol or diesel
  • Comprehensive safety system
  • RDS Radio / CD Audio with MP3 Disc Compatibility
