The Kia Carens is a compact MPV (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the South Korean marque Kia. It has been in production since 1999, and has a total of 4 generations. This vehicle is also known as Kia Rondo.
The first generation Kia Carens went on sale in 1999 worldwide, and underwent a major redesign in 2002.
In 2006, the second generation was released, which was sold in North America under the name Kia Rondo. The finishes and quality improved significantly. In fact, the vehicle beat all sales predictions in the United States.
The third generation was introduced in 2012, going on sale a year later. It was offered in 5- and 7-seat configurations. This model was marketed in Canada but not in the United States.
The fourth and current generation of the Kia Carens has undergone significant changes. It was presented at the end of 2021, and is no longer a minivan. This model is based on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform, and based on the Hyundai Creta. Kia does not sell it as an SUV, but as a ‘recreational vehicle’, making it a fusion between a minivan and a crossover. For the time being, this model is only manufactured and marketed in India.
