Kia’s popular MPV, Carens, is about to get a refresh soon. The Korean automaker has confirmed the launch of the 2025 Carens on May 8, 2025. Along with an updated fascia, the vehicle will feature several design-related changes, including new lighting elements, a new color scheme, and revamped alloys.

2025 Kia Carens Price (Expected)

The current version of Kia Carens starts at Rs. 10.59 lakhs (ex-showroom). However, the upcoming version is expected to arrive with a slight hike in price. As a result, we expect the 2025 Kia Carens to start at Rs. 11 lakhs (ex-showroom).

On the front, the new Kia Carens is said to feature a new fascia, including new LED headlights, LED daytime running lights (DRLs) inspired by the company’s EV lineup, and a revamped bumper.

Inside, the 2025 Kia Carens is expected to feature a new dashboard with redesigned air vents, a center console, updated seat upholstery, and more soft-touch materials than the current generation. Furthermore, the vehicle could feature two 12.3-inch screens— one for the instrument cluster and one for the infotainment system — dual-zone automatic climate control, and powered driver’s seats.
