The Kia Carens has recently received an all-new variant for its range and it has now started to reach dealerships across India with a starting ex-showroom price of ₹12.10 lakh. With the new trim, the three-row MPV gets certain cosmetic enhancements alongside feature additions. The South Korean automaker recently released the new 'Gravity' variant to commemorate its fifth anniversary, during which it reached the milestone of one million unit sales in India.
The new variant will be available across Kia India's ICE-powered SUV lineup, including the Kia Seltos and the Kia Sonet. It includes exclusive leatherette seats, new alloy wheel options, dash cams, and a sunroof for all three models. Additional accessibility features include adjustable headrests, armrests with cupholders, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
It is important to note that features included in the Kia Carens Gravity trim will not necessarily be present in the other two models, with certain features being exclusive to a specific car.
