Let’s delve into this Kia car’s anticipated features, specifications, and other aspects.
The Carens facelift shall come with similar engine and transmission configurations. It should come with the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine in three trims – two petrol trims and one diesel. The petrol engines shall develop a maximum power of 130-158bhp and an utmost torque of 144-158 Nm. The diesel engine variants shall deliver up to 113bhp of power and 250 Nm of torque. The car shall come with either a six-speed manual or an automatic transmission system. The petrol variants should come with a seven-speed DCT transmission option too.
The mileage of the Carens facelift should be similar to the current iteration, somewhere around 17.50 km/l.
There is no change expected in the suspension and braking system of this Kia SUV. It shall continue to have a McPherson front strut and a coupled torsion beam axle (CTBA) in the rear. Both suspensions should incorporate coil springs too. The car is envisaged to ride on 16 or 17-inch alloy wheels wearing 205-215mm wide radial tyres. The braking setup must incorporate all discs, providing optimum control and stopping power.
The dimensions of the Carens 2025 are anticipated to remain unchanged. It shall have a length of 4540mm, a width of 1800mm, and a height of 1708mm. The ground clearance could be slightly higher than the current 195mm. The wheelbase should remain 2780mm.
The spy pictures suggest that the exterior design of the 2025 Kia Carens flaunts sleek daytime running lights and updated headlamps. The alloy wheels seem to have been redesigned while the bumpers have also been tweaked a bit. It further exhibits dual-tone outer rear-view mirrors with integrated blinkers and black window surround.

An antilock braking system, an electronic brake-force distribution system, and an electronic stability program, is quite likely to be included.
