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
Tata Altroz
- Sharp looking - the redesigned grille, flush-fitting door handles, and connected tail lights give it a clean and modern look.
- Great rear seat experience - raised under thigh support and ample legroom offers great space for two average sized adults.
- Feature rich - 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and an electric sunroof make it a well-equipped hatchback.
- No compromise safety - 6 standard airbags, 360-degree camera, and an already established 5-star safety rating makes it a safe option.
- Only diesel engine option in the segment makes it more appealing to buyers who prioritize fuel efficiency.

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
Tata Altroz
- Fit and finish - many panel gaps on the outside and some flimsy elements inside break the cabin quality’s consistency.
- No diesel automatic option on sale and the diesel is limited to the one-below-top variant.
- Petrol engine gets too noisy under load and has more vibrations than expected.
- Turbo-petrol engine not offered with the facelifted version.
