Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Looks unique, in a good way.
- Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
- Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
- Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
- Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- Automatic transmission option with both engines
Nissan Kicks
- Quality interior: Quality of material, fit & finish inside the cabin is better than other cars in this segment
- Noise insulation: Engine noise, road noise not as audible inside as in siblings (Captur, Duster, Terrano); lifts cabin experience up
- Mature ride: The ride is supple, but not bouncy. It can handle small and large road uncertainties at any speeds with aplomb
- 360-degree parking assist: Cameras at the front, rear, and both sides give an all-around view to ease parking; segment-first feature
- Powerful new 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine makes 156PS/254Nm

Kia Carens
- Missing some premium features
- Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
- 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile
Nissan Kicks
- Ergonomic issues: Driver’s seat set a little high; particularly uncomfortable for tall drivers. Footwell is too cramped
- Feature misses: No light for passenger vanity mirror. Top variant misses out on auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, powered driver seat and sunroof
- No diesel engine option
