Kia Carens 2025 – Exterior Design Updates

Although the spy shots show a heavily camouflaged test mule of the Carens facelift, the images suggest significant changes to the front and rear fascias. The front is expected to feature redesigned lighting elements, potentially incorporating Kia’s signature “Starmap” LED design with triangular headlights, similar to the EV5. The side profile will likely see fewer changes apart from new alloy wheel designs. The rear is expected to receive vertically stacked taillamps, possibly connected by an LED light strip, and a refreshed bumper.

Kia Carens 2025 – Interior Enhancements And Features

Inside, the 2025 Carens facelift is expected to receive a substantial upgrade in terms of features. A key addition is a panoramic sunroof, visible in the latest spy photos, though lower variants might get a single-pane sunroof. The interior could also see the introduction of Kia’s “Trinity” panoramic display, similar to the Syros SUV, comprising a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-inch LCD instrument cluster, and a separate 5-inch display for climate control. Existing features like ventilated front seats are expected to be carried over, while Kia could potentially add ventilated 2nd-row seats to enhance the Carens’ luxury factor.

Kia Carens 2025 To Get ADAS

A major highlight of the Carens test mule is the inclusion of ADAS, evidenced by the sensor modules placed on the test vehicle’s windshield and a front-facing camera lower down in the bumper. This addition will put the Carens on par with its Hyundai cousin, the 2025 Alcazar, and enhance its competitive edge against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki XL6. Other safety features, such as a 360-degree camera, 6 airbags, vehicle stability management (VSM), electronic stability control (ESC), hill start assist control, rear parking sensors and camera, downhill brake control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), are likely to be retained.

Powertrain Options

The 2025 Kia Carens is expected to retain its existing powertrain options. These include the following:

1.5-litre normal petrol (115PS, 144Nm) with a 6-speed manual transmission.
1.5-litre turbo petrol (160PS, 253Nm) with 6ACMT and 7DCT transmission options.
1.5-litre diesel (116PS, 250Nm) with 6MT and 6AT transmission options.

A Carens EV is also reportedly in development, expected to launch after the ICE facelift.
