[@rajkumarms4672]

Which one is better 1.5 petrol manual or 1.5 Diesel Manual ?

[@Kushal-xs3qo]

0-100 in 9.7sec in petrol & 10.6sec in diesel, that too in an MPV, it's amazing, awesome, supperb❤️😍

[@deepakrenjith369]

i20 N line claims a 0 to 100 under 10 secs which none of them tested could achieve.. Overtakes german rivals in their own claimed paper figures and not in practical world

[@avh6374]

10.1 diesel

[@abhinavsingh.92]

Is releasing the first impressions video in two parts due to some kind of embargo on the part of Kia? If not, then it would have been better if you guys released a single video. Also, where is the 1.5 L petrol? Is there a third video coming? 🤔

[@WondrousExplorer]

Agree, manual turbo is better choice over DCT. I read numerous complaints abt DCT on different forums. Across all makes, DCT technology seems to be unreliable and may impact longevity of vehicle. I changed my booking from Turbo DCT to Turbo manual.

[@smithkumar88]

@renuka , need your suggestion I am presently riding an xuv 500 diesel, and have booked the turbo petrol manual for carens, my only concern is that whether carens will be able to climb uphills on AC as I love riding in hilly terrains. This is the only point of concern for me and also a reason why I booked a manual instead of DCT. I never got a chance to test drive it on hills coz i live in Delhi neither the dealers near hills are having this model for TD. Presently my xuv does this flawlessly and i expect something similar with this

[@namitnagar5340]

I was waiting for Manual transmission's review. Thank you so much.

[@Telugu_Vlogs_Off]

I've seen Kia Caren in showroom it's simply awesome tough competition to Innova ertiga , fortuner,

[@kushagrgoyal9614]

how's the paddle shifter in the car? would love to know some thoughts on it

[@EtherealMisconduct]

Not a bad car at all, hoping to see it selling well in India after its official launch.

[@srinivaschavan9002]

it should not sell well it should go down well

[@sheikhmohsin57]

Kia is killing it!

[@harshaokin8064]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find that front end to be INCREDIBLY UGLY AND DISGUSTING?

[@hardyk2010]

I'm surprised they didn't give it the iMT as standard.

[@SG-yx5dv]

Waiting to see carens vs ertiga or xl6 review, when is that expected ?

[@anjoesebastian5135]

Pls do a review on the Prestige Plus Model(Manual)

[@meph1sth0]

Do all the passengers in the middle row bench seat get a 3-point seat belt? If no, it is a big omission for the product in this segment.

[@bharathm8007]

Was expecting to see how the manual performs with 7 people

[@kartikranpise3953]

Is the driving seat a commanding seat for tall person, I'm 6ft and want to know is the head room and legroom enough

[@vishnuputhenparampil2190]

Kia proved that in this price range comfortable and spacious third row seats can be made...... Kudos👍🥳

[@vframed]

First of all, thank you team for listening. Good to see the "healthy adult" in the 3rd row. Still, if the pricing ain't right, this ain't gonna sell. Let's wait and see. Till then, everyone should stay safe, cheerful and healthy like our "healthy adult". Cheers Team!...

[@manpasand2006]

It's alcazar only clever marketing can not save this model unless u increase its length to accomodate cng cylinder

[@ad1kurniawan]

Would be happy if this car come to indonesia 👍👍

[@senthilaaru]

Is the Tyre pressure monitor on the Karen’s buggy as in selitos . Shows 29psi in this video at a glance , curious to know if it was showing alert

[@kvellayaraj358]

Kindly give me a feedback about steering feel in both petrol and diesel versions.

[@MrLanmx]

It is noticeably heavy at low and high speed in comparison with say the Taigun or Astor. Of course they are on different platforms but the sake of comparison, I will not pick this car because of the handling. But take a test drive and see for yourself.

[@abhijitmarfatia1848]

Impressive 3rd row

[@itsgodzagain]

HAs the price been revealed?

[@shobhitshekharx]

Nice space management done by kia motors.

[@KK-wk1id]

I think it would start from 11-12 Lakh.

[@telugutravellersonofgodsubbu]

Most best version waiting is over

[@harishsiddarameswara2802]

Miss Renuka, How can u fit "Mr . Nikil" - the small guy over the third row, Well its good for review, agree, but also had a LOL moment

[@sarfaraz5097]

3rd row me space h visit kia showroom

[@orange5485]

What if 7 ppl are seated with ac on . Will I be able make it up the hill ?

[@mohamedilliyasmohamedelias8640]

What price ?

[@evinod]

How is the base petrol?

[@inderpalsingh973]

Front look wagonr or back look Honda brv mixture lagti hai or taxi bhi

[@techvlogs7187]

Looks wonderful😍

[@pawankumarjain6964]

Please tell me petrol manual actual mileage in City

[@kunwarprateeksingh3403]

I think it would make more sense if KIA Carens was available with the IMT as an option..... If Automatic was more fuel efficient than manual transmission..... PPL would never buy manuals.... Indian customers have always been sold cheap stuff otherwise Why would u sell a manual transmission that's difficult to learn to drive at first, not at all convenient, prone to stall in a country that's full of b2b traffic, potholes, hazards. No body drive manuals overseas except an enthusiast who loves the stick and have quantity roads to enjoy the power band.

[@asfanahmed2812]

It should've got the 1.6 letre diesel which would've made more sense and 125 to 130 hp

[@sscmathsvault]

How is cabin noise Is it loud ??

[@adityakaran6622]

It's not an ev

[@harir1]

So who got the better turbo petrol engine 1.4 tgdi or 1.5 tsi???

[@SuyashKaul]

Tsi has cylinder deactivation and more pull near redline whereas t-gdi is more responsive in everyday driving and to me, is more refined

[@abhaykumar-vv7jt]

Anyone knows the safety rating of this car?

[@manishmehta9736]

Middle row is definitely not for 3... Ertiga has much better middle and third row to accommodate 5 easily and 6 with some congestion... This can at best accommodate only 5 with congestion in middle row while third row is out of question for 3

[@csharathkumar4160]

Thanks for sharing the detailed information, I think 3rd is really not god for tall person.

[@vksdvda]

What about 1.5 petrol manual

[@asfanahmed2812]

Who will actually buy a manual for such a big car at this price point and in the city changing gears in congested traffic

[@bhyreshbhyresh847]

Future is amazing

[@lensonpinto8437]

Compare with gloster or mahindra XUV700

[@azharsa11]

3rd row is more spacious than innova. But 1.5 ltr diesel engine is littl small. Atleast 2 ltr above 120 bhp makes sense

[@RakeshRakesh-zo6nq]

I like this car.

[@hemanthkumar-zd6rj]

Side profile looks like mini MG Gloster,,, especially that window line from the Orvm untill the C pillar!!!

[@prasadmurugesan8615]

what is the price of the base model?? anyone knows

[@SuyashKaul]

12lkhs ex showroom

[@mrsingamsivam]

Wat about in hill drive

[@itsmeee7364]

i wish pricing won't increase more then a lakh in a year unlike greedy mahindra launched marazzo for 11.5l onroad now it's costs 15l+ onroad then people thought lesson to mahindra and marazzo failed in sales

[@venkeythekey2happiness]

Seems Gud Bt At Da Price Point I Think Marazzo Would B A Better Diesel Option

[@ankurborah4988]

This car is going to sell very well

[@ArunVinayakc]

This is Facelift of XL6 i think

[@deepanshjawrani]

Don’t think.

[@phanindra2930]

@@deepanshjawrani 😆

[@shaileshdecca86]

Panaromic sunroof missing ☹

[@jsb04]

Seats lenght feels short on back support

[@abhipatabhi]

Looks like a great car (MPV)... But the Safety Ratings must be out to purchase 🙄 PS - This is the FIRST COMMENT of this video

[@balasuriyar1711]

if u r looking for safety rating then this is the mpv for u . u can go with marazzo. this is made with sonet platform and build quality is a problem

[@EtherealMisconduct]

Kia’s aiming for at least a 4 star rating for all its upcoming cars, so let’s hope for the best.

[@advocatewalia4316]

Why no time stamps!

[@Anbu_chandru]

I think engine should be tested with atleast 5 people in car in these people movers....

[@MasterKrakenSunken]

can anyone tell me the name of the music please.

[@ashwinsuresh761]

Nice ❤❤

[@kishandewangan]

You can see in video that armrest is of no use to her. Clearly visible. @Autocare India, can you ask Kia to fix this in the delivery model. #AutocarIndia

[@Kiran.Nair.]

Kia XL6

[@Naveenkumar-of7cw]

Nice one

[@f1pro910]

it looks out of proportions. looks like design team spent more time on front part and just added box as they run out if time.

[@sarfaraz5097]

4.18 Arjun Kapoor 🙂👍 entry

[@karanghosh3352]

Hope soo the price of carens should be aggressive 😅.

[@sandeepkandiraju]

Korian brothers are fooling Indian car buyers with big cars and no power ....same engine across the catogory

[@rajeshnair2143]

100 kmph, 1900 rpm and 6th gear!!! Does not sound right

[@SuyashKaul]

What's wrong in it?

[@rickyparab3572]

10.09 for the diesel seems totally unrealistic...even the much lighter verna with the same engine takes 10.5sec...

[@Justin-nv]

Torque & Transmission 💨

[@sureshg2885]

Was ok

[@jishnubhattacharyya4458]

HEELO BRO 🙏🙏

[@Rameshchandra-ip8wc]

best car within 15 lakhs

[@samprithpatel6578]

Design is disappointing

[@nk2023]

👍

[@anandyahamdi]

Imo this new Carens in not as good looking as the previous.

[@DrDre-sy2kv]

6 airbags under 10 lakhs ? Who gives that ?????

[@mohamedhussain1113]

#Mindofmoto

[@adaniji4431]

Tyre size does not suit its body

[@bhimeshjetty7092]

It's still not an EV

[@dhirenderkumarcarandgadget5520]

Don't buy Hyundai anymore

[@saurabhsood8268]

Marrazo is larger

[@sakthi34]

First failure car from kia

[@sharadarya725]

Car like feel, low rpm drivability, comfortable third row leaving ample boot space all these features were already there in Honda Mobilio using it since 2014. Kia just copied Honda's elegance nothing more to offer in 2022. Big disappointment!!! P.S : Honda Mobilio diesal roars like a lion on highways! #relaunchmobilio

[@pessimistic_optimism]

looks like wagonR

[@Carsimps]

First

[@rockyngangom]

I dont want this car
