Kia Carens news

The hybrid-only Maruti Invicto MPV undercuts the hybrid variants of the Innova Hycross, but that’s just a part of the bigger picture

The past week witnessed a teaser and a recall from Kia, while we also got an update on 5-door Mahindra Thar’s unveil

This is the second recall for the Kia Carens since its launch

The Carens offers a whole lot more features for the price, that’s a given. But what do you really miss if you chose a base-spec Innova HyCross instead?

The new Luxury (O) trim is placed between Luxury and Luxury Plus trims

Hyundai and Kia made headlines again this week, while Citroen's hatchback and Toyota's premium pickup truck both saw price revisions

The MPV also gets RDE and BS6 Phase 2-compliant petrol and diesel engines with an iMT option for the latter

Defence personnel can now have the Carens, Seltos, Sonet, or Carnival at almost their ex-showroom prices

The past week’s updates majorly related to Hyundai cars while we also got a fresh set of spy shots of the 2024 Tata Nexon

A majority of the updates fall under the safety department, the most important one being the introduction of the three-point seatbelt for the rear middle passenger

However, this seating option could just be limited to the base-spec variant

This engine’s output is rated at an impressive 160PS in the Hyundai Alcazar

The diesel-manual combo will be replaced by the six-speed iMT (clutchless manual) option presently found on the turbo-petrol variants of the Sonet

The MPV has become one of India’s top premium offerings with nearly 77,000 units sold in its first year

It is the first MPV to ever win this prestigious automotive award
