Kia launches Exclusive Carens X-Line trim in India

Kia on Tuesday (October 3, 2023) launched its latest addition to the Carens lineup, the exclusive X-Line trim. Starting at a base price of 18.94 lakh, the new variant of Kia Carens offers two options: Petrol 7DCT and Diesel 6AT. Both variants are configured as 6 seaters, with price tags of Rs 18,94,900 and Rs 19,44,900, respectively.

This positions it approximately Rs 54,000 higher than its equivalent Luxury Plus counterparts.

One standout feature of the X-Line models is the rear-seat entertainment package, which offers access to podcasts, screen mirroring, and a range of entertainment and news apps.
