Kia Carens MPV


Kia Carens MPV has only two 2.0-litre engines, 142bhp petrol and a 138bhp turbodiesel.
Its diesel is powerful enough, and its superior fuel economy makes it perfome better, but a rather narrow powerband does hamper flexibility. Both Kia Carens MPV engines come with a manual gearbox which is five-speed in the petrol and six in the diesel and either can be specified with a four-speed automatic car.
Kia Carens MPV is not had to drive, the Carens is neither as supple over scarred urban surfaces nor as composed through corners as the best compact MPVs. The ride improves with speed but it can still crash over bigger bumps. Kia Carens MPV steering is short on feel and there’s a fair amount of body sway.
Kia Carens MPV diesel engine is quiet at a steady motorway cruise, but sounds rather coarse under acceleration or around town. Kia Carens MPV petrol is a little more refined when worked, but it’s still not the quietest. Some wind and road noise in Australia intrude at speed. Kia Carens MPV has light gearshift is short on accuracy.
