KIA CARENS
READY FOR ANYTHING
Life is about compromises. Or is it? The new Carens gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want.
The styling has a fresh and contemporary perspective. Body coloured bumpers, door handles and mirrors, multi-reflector light clusters and chunky roof rails all create a reassuring feeling of solidity and security. Open the door and you get another perspective - a remarkably roomy interior. Available with a choice of either 5 or 7 seats the Carens is a highly flexible compact MPV that easily adapts to your changing life........the school run.............a family trip out........bringing home that flat pack furniture for your next project. And as you'd expect from Kia, the Carens is packed full of safety features.
The Carens now also comes with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, a 6-year anti-perforation warranty and a KIAssist roadside assistance package provided by the RAC (which even covers mainland Europe). You can also take advantage of our free insurance++ for the first seven days.
