Hyderabad: Carens, Kia India’s flagship vehicle, has achieved a remarkable milestone by crossing 1.5 lakh domestic sales since its launch in February 2022. The vehicle has revolutionized the family mover segment with its sleek design and cutting-edge tech features, becoming a preferred mobility choice for new-age customers with extended families. Impressively, 50 per cent of the consumers prefer the top and mid trims of this popular family mover, which has features like Sunroof, Multi Drive Modes, Ventilated Seats and Kia Connect to name a few.

Among the various options, the petrol powertrain has emerged as the top choice, accounting for 57 per cent of demand, followed by the diesel powertrain with 43 per cent. Additionally, manual transmission continues to be highly preferred, with 62 per cent of customers opting for it. Recently in April 2024, the company re-launched the 6-seater variant of Carens which has received a good response.

Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales & Business Officer, Kia India, said, “Carens has become a favourite among Indian families, offering them style and peace of mind on every journey. It now accounts for approximately 15 per cent of our monthly domestic sales, and we are confident that its popularity will only grow in the coming years.
