2023 Kia Carens: Now More City-Friendly with iMT

The 2023 Kia Carens has made a strong mark in India’s MPV segment, thanks to its smart combination of practicality, premium features, and a sleek modern design. Kia has now added even more flexibility to the lineup by introducing a new variant equipped with iMT (intelligent Manual Transmission), making it an even better fit for urban driving.

Priced between ₹12.65 lakh and ₹18 lakh (ex-showroom), the Carens continues to deliver solid value with a range of engine and transmission options—including this new clutchless semi-automatic setup.

iMT: A Blend of Convenience and Engagement

The iMT version is ideal for buyers who want the ease of an automatic but still enjoy the hands-on feel of a manual gearbox. Now available with the 1.5-liter diesel engine, the iMT option enhances the driving experience by offering smoother city drives and better fuel economy—without the hassle of a clutch pedal.

Design Overview: Familiar Yet Functional

Visually, the Carens maintains its SUV-inspired design from previous models. While there are no major styling changes in the iMT variant, it does feature a subtle iMT badge on the tailgate to distinguish it. The overall design remains clean and functional, appealing to both families and urban commuters.
