Detailed analysis of the KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi VGT 85 kW (115 CV) Concept Eco-Dynamics 7 plazas · 115 CV (2015-2017)
General description
The 2013 KIA Carens was presented as a breath of fresh air in the MPV segment, a vehicle designed from the heart for families. This version with the 1.7 CRDi 115 HP diesel engine and 7 seats is the embodiment of practicality and efficiency, a travel companion that promises space and economy without sacrificing a design that captivates at first sight.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Carens conveys a deep sense of calm and control. Its 115 horsepower engine doesn't aim for speed records but offers a smooth and constant response from very low revs, ideal for daily hustle and long highway trips. It feels poised and secure, with a suspension that gently filters out road imperfections, prioritizing the comfort of all occupants. It's a car that doesn't ask for a fight but invites you to enjoy the journey, to create memories with every kilometer.
Design and aesthetics
Far from the boxy shapes of its predecessors, the Carens' design is fluid, modern, and has a distinct personality. Its interior is its true sanctuary: an incredibly versatile and bright space, where every corner is designed to make life easier. The third row of seats, though compact, is a treasure for large families. The materials are honest and durable, built to withstand the unstoppable pace of children and family adventures, creating a cozy and functional atmosphere.
Technology and features
The technology on board the Carens Concept is discreet but effective, focused on what's truly important. Elements like the Stop & Start system or the electric power steering work in the background to improve efficiency and driving comfort. It doesn't overwhelm with screens or complex functions but offers a logical and easy-to-use set of features, proving that the best technology is the one that serves people without complications.
Competition
In its time, the Carens faced giants like the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, the Renault Grand Scénic, or the Ford Grand C-MAX. While its rivals opted for bolder designs or a greater technological display, the KIA found its place by offering a nearly perfect balance between generous interior space, rock-solid reliability backed by its warranty, and a price that made it one of the smartest and most rational purchases on the market.
Conclusion
The KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi is much more than just an MPV; it's another member of the family. A vehicle that understands the real needs of daily life, offering solutions instead of problems. Its low consumption, its enormous versatility, and the peace of mind it provides make it a choice that is valued more and more over time. It's a purchase of the heart and the head, a refuge on wheels where the most important thing is the journey and the company.
