2022 4th Generation Kia Carens

[Carbon82]

After a long hiatus, a new compact / mid size MPV is coming from Kia finally, which will be officially unveiled in another 10 days time. This shall be a strong challenger to the BMW 2GT, Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer, Honda Freed, Peugoet 5008, Renault Grand Scenic, Toyota Sienta and VW Touran.

Kia has officially announced the return of the Carens nameplate in a brand new minivan that will be unveiled on December 16. The teaser video published by the Korean automaker gives us a glimpse of the Carens which is rumored to share its underpinnings with the Seltos SUV.

The fourth-generation Carens appears to adopt a more SUV-like appearance instead of the outdated one-box MPV silhouette of its predecessors. It also inherits Kia’s latest design language with thin LED headlights and full-width taillights similar to the ones on the new Sportage.

The new Carens will likely be longer and taller than the Seltos in order to provide more interior space and practicality. The tall roofline will also allow for a third row of seats making it a seven-seater like its predecessor. After its world premiere on December 16, the model will roll out in India, follow by other markets at a later date.

New teaser from Kia. Very SUVish...

kia design looks futuristic unlike jap

[teomingern]

I think I like the previous model better... the shape was quite unique...

[Carbon82]

Disappointing outlook. If just by looking at the side profile, I would thought that is a refreshed Mitsubishi Outlander... 

[Hamburger]

Yup. Side profile cmi. 

Uninspiring at best. 

[Spring]

Very boxy look which is so yesteryear. Disappointing considering Kia’s recent models all with nice designs n the right curves. 

[teomingern]

Fat stodgy side profile... very much like a box on wheels... like the Toyota Innova... fail...

Very obvious their best designers were all assigned to design their EVs 😁
