    South Korean automaker Kia Motors will finally launch its Carens SUV in India this February. In the latest development, mass production of the vehicle has commenced.

    Why does this story matter?

    Kia Carens broke cover in December last year and is offered in Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury, and Luxury Plus variants. It will be the brand's fourth model in India after the Seltos, Carnival, and the Sonet. The four-wheeler should be priced competitively and will rival the Hyundai ALCAZAR, Mahindra Marazzo, MG Hector Plus, Toyota Innova Crysta, Tata Safari, and Mahindra XUV700.

It is available in eight colors, including Imperial Blue, Sparkling Silver, Gravity Gray, Clear White, and Intense Red.
