New Kia Carens gets new range-topper – the Carens 3 Sat Nav

The new Kia Carens, Kia’s 7-seat MPV, was revealed in May, but Kia is already adding a new range-topper with the 3 SatNav.

The new Kia Carens was revealed by Kia in April in the UK, and it’s a decent effort from the Koreans to make the Carens a more stylish and appealing MPV for families.

Despite being slightly shorter than the old Carens, the new Carens manages to have a longer wheelbase for more passenger room – and offers 7-seats across the range – as well as being a lot better looking and better equipped.

But it seems Kia’s customers are shouting out for something that offers more standard equipment than the regular, not very inventive, trim levels of 1, 2 and 3, so Kia has decided to add a fourth option – the Kia Carens 3 Sat Nav to the range.

The Carens 3 already comes with a decent enough spec – including panoramic roof, 17″ alloys, leather, heated seats, second row sun blinds and colour reversing camera – but the 3 Sat Nav adds a 7″ touchscreen SatNav and new audio system with 8-channel amp and sub woofer offering a better sound experience for all occupants.

The Carens 3 Sat Nav is only available with Kia’s 134bhp 1.7 litre CRDI with 6-speed manual ‘box and costs from £24,845.
