Detailed analysis of the KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi VGT 115 CV Concept Eco-Dynamics 7 plazas (neumáticos Michelin) (2015-2016)
General description
The 2013 KIA Carens presents itself as the ideal travel companion for the modern family. A minivan that understands the needs for space and versatility, offering seven seats in a compact format and with a diesel heart designed to devour kilometers without hurting the wallet. It's more than a car; it's a promise of shared adventures and everyday comfort.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Carens conveys a deep sense of calm and control. Its 115-horsepower diesel engine, though modest in acceleration figures, pushes smoothly and decisively from low revs thanks to its generous torque. It doesn't seek thrills, but rather offers a serene and predictable journey. The suspension effectively filters out irregularities, and the power steering makes the city its natural habitat. It's a car that takes care of you, making every trip a moment of tranquility, with fuel consumption so low it invites you to never stop traveling.
Design and aesthetics
Its elegant and fluid exterior design broke with the more functional aesthetic of its predecessors, proving that a family car can also be attractive. But it's inside where the Carens truly captivates. Space is the absolute protagonist, with intelligent modularity that allows the cabin to be adapted to any need. The materials are honest and durable, designed to withstand the pace of family life, creating a cozy and practical atmosphere.
Technology and features
The technology on board the Carens Concept focuses on the essentials to make life easier and more efficient. The 'Eco-Dynamics' Stop & Start system is a clear example of its commitment to fuel savings in the urban environment. Although it didn't dazzle with giant screens or state-of-the-art assistants, it more than delivered by offering essential comfort and safety features for its time, proving that the most valuable technology is the one that works invisibly to enhance the travel experience.
Competition
In a highly competitive segment, the KIA Carens faced giants like the Citroën C4 Grand Picasso, the Renault Grand Scénic, and the Ford Grand C-MAX. Against them, the Carens played its best cards: an almost unbeatable space-to-price ratio, outstanding interior versatility, and KIA's solid 7-year warranty, an argument that conveyed a confidence and peace of mind that few rivals could match.
Conclusion
The KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi is the definition of a smart and emotional purchase for a family. It is a vehicle that more than fulfills its promise of space, comfort, and economy of use. It may not quicken the pulse, but it certainly warms the heart by proving to be another member of the family, reliable and always ready to create new memories. A perfect choice for those who value practicality and tranquility above all else.
