What owners and experts like about the Kia Carens
Third row usability
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“room on offer is not too bad as you can see space is quite decent... overall roominess is not too bad compared to the xl6 though it does feel a tad larger and with dedicated AC vents with two type c ports it is the better third row here”
Air conditioning
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“AC quality is good; it reaches the third row and even the third-row passenger doesn't complain of heat; a 5'8"-5'9" passenger in the back to Haridwar asked to turn it down (translated from Hindi)”

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews
