Detailed analysis of the KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi VGT 136 CV Drive 5 plazas (2013-2015)
General description
The 2013 KIA Carens burst onto the market as a breath of fresh air for families looking for more than just a means of transport. This minivan not only promised space and versatility, but it embodied KIA's incredible transformation, offering a well-rounded, mature product with a heart designed for everyday life, a true home on wheels.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Carens conveys a sense of calm and control. Its 136-horsepower diesel engine responds competently, without sporty pretensions but with the necessary power to travel fully loaded with complete peace of mind. The suspension filters out road imperfections with a smoothness that is appreciated on long journeys, turning every trip into a comfortable and relaxed experience. It's a car that takes care of you, makes the difficult easy, and feels safe and poised on the road, a faithful companion for family adventures.
Design and aesthetics
Visually, this generation of the Carens was a revolution. It abandoned the bland shapes of its predecessors to embrace an elegant and dynamic European design, the work of master Peter Schreyer. Its front end with the 'tiger-nose' grille gives it an unmistakable personality. Inside, the leap in quality is palpable in every corner. Space is the real luxury, with exceptional modularity, a bright cabin, and a gigantic 536-liter trunk that seems bottomless, ready to accommodate the dreams and luggage of the whole family.
Technology and features
For its time, the Carens in Drive trim offered a very complete equipment package that made life on board easier and more pleasant. It included features like climate control, cruise control, and Bluetooth connectivity, technologies that, although they may seem standard today, were a great added value in its segment in 2013. Its electric power steering and safety systems contributed to a sense of modernity and protection, proving that useful technology didn't have to be expensive.
Competition
In a segment as competitive as compact minivans, the KIA Carens faced titans like the Ford C-MAX, the Citroën C4 Picasso, and the Renault Scénic. However, it managed to carve its own path. It played its cards masterfully, offering superior interior space, generous equipment, and, above all, the brand's unbeatable 7-year warranty, arguments that won over many families looking for a smart and surprise-free purchase.
Conclusion
The KIA Carens 1.7 CRDi is much more than a car; it is a brilliant solution to the needs of a modern family. It is the rational purchase that also appeals to the heart for its honesty and its ability to make life easier. It doesn't win you over with its speed, but with its loyalty, its immense space, and the peace of mind it provides. It is a vehicle that more than fulfills its purpose, a haven of comfort and practicality that leaves a mark of pleasant memories with every kilometer traveled.
