The MK3 Carens model has proved to be a useful step forward for Kia in the compact 7-seat MPV market segment and this revised version usefully refreshes the Korean maker's offering in this sector. Buy one and you get the same strong build quality, reliability and long warranty you had before but now wrapped up in a more effective, desirable and efficient package. Yes, also a pricier one, but the value proposition still remains strong in comparison with obvious rivals. Strong enough to deliver what Kia craves with this MK3 model - conquest buyers? Perhaps. You certainly get a lot more for your money here than rivals from brands like Ford, Renault and Citroen can offer. For the money you'd give to these makers for a five-seat compact MPV, Kia provides a seven-seater design that's better equipped, just as efficient and, to some eyes at least, even arguably better looking. Overall, it's not hard to make a case for it.
