Kia Carens Facelift: Exterior & Interior

The test mule of the facelifted Carens was partly visible from the front. It showed refreshed headlights connected by the LED light bar that works as the DRL. The rear section of the test mule was heavily camouflaged. However, it could hint at some of its design elements such as revised tail lights and new LED elements, similar to the Kia EV9. The alloy wheels also featured a fresh design, however, the wheel size is most probably the same as before. There was also the presence of cameras on the ORVMs.

Although the Interior of the Carens facelift could not be spotted, we can expect black fabric upholstery with a seat ventilation feature. Apart from this, it will continue with its current 6-seater and 7-seater layout and single-pane sunroof as the outgoing model. We expect the new Carens to feature Sonet-like dashboard layout with twin display for infotainment and digital instrument console.
