2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

I asked at Kia Cebu and the price range for the gas engine is 800K-900K
The CRDi is ranging from 800K-1M
The Carens looks good and seats seven ana not to mention the irresistable CRDi engine

that is indeed great since i get only 7km/liter during city driving since i haven't brought my carens to any out-of-town trips yet, carens nga ba or innova?

Company minivan namin dati sa UK was the Kia Carens back in 2004 pa. Ok naman siya pero syempre talo pa rin siya sa bigger brethen niya yun Carnival.

Does anybody know if the 2.0L Gas version of the carens uses a timing belt or timing chain? Sa manual kasi walang nakalagay. Ang meron lang is timing belt change interval for "Diesel" versions. So i assume timing chain ang gamit nitong gas version. i haven't asked the dealer yet.

I also saw a carens display in one of the mall in Tarlac City and i was in love at first sight.

i personally prefer the 2.0 CRDI model due to high power rating (if the brochure data is true).
but one thing i dont like is the low ground clearance at 156mm.
medyo, delikado sa baha.

hmmm... but it is a very good option to the innova!

That`s right i would rathar bear with the lower ground clearance than gamble with innova d4d. Can anyone post the interior of carens since i am in the province of northern luzon and nearest kia dealer is miles away.Thank you.
