2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

5 speed M/T right?

Carens CRDi M/T are 6 speed

[snake888]

Guys, please stop day dreaming and go back to reality... We are here to give accurate information to the readers and future car buyers like me.

From the specs and even the reviews around the world, the top speed of Kia Carens whether 5 speed or 6 speed M/T is only up to 190kph...

Even the Fortuner 3.0L with 163hp is only getting 180kph max speed. I tried this one already. For Carens, with its smaller body, I can only believe that it will reach 190kph considering 6 speed M/T with 140hp.

If you still don't believe me, then try this link. You can also browse the web for more reviews.

Peace to everyone!

In reality, bro... you can go faster than what is on the speedometer. It's not because the limit on the speedometer is 190, you can't go faster. If you reached the limit, you can still feel the added acceleration. Although I haven't tried this on my Carens... I have experienced this on a box type GSR Lancer. The limit was only 180 on the Lancer but we overtook a Mercedes Benz driven by another friend who was already running at 200.
Drive safe guys....

question is, ano ba speed rating ng stock tires ng carens? i hope for safety reasons they're up to speed. delikado na at high speeds kung mangyayari. :D

[SIZE=2]If there are some modifications then this is nonsense. Of course it will go even faster if there are some modifications which increase the hp.

[SIZE=2]On papers, it is clearly written the top speed of Carens so I prefer in believing on what is written in papers rather than those who is trying to show off the capabilities of their rides. Sorry if I offended someone. Peace out! And drive safely na lang.[/SIZE]

I think its there is no doubt IMO that the fortuner can go further beyond its top speed of 180kph, but i think the question is kaya ba ng dibdib mo to go further beyond its top speed. There are some issues you have to think before you try to go beyond the top speed of the fortuner and one of them is the high center of gravity, dont know but ako medyo takot ako pag medyo mataas ang isang sasakyan, yung papasok sa isip ko ay mag roll over ito, but the carens is different, lower center of gravity...and low center of gravity means less wind drag and maybe...and i said maybe...a little percent na mag roll over, that is my opinion lang

a purely stock carens can manage 200kph+, go over the previous pages and see for yourself a carens at 200kph with six adults on board paging sir schumi

IMO, manufacturer's specs are not always accurate, you simply cannot take it hook, line,and sinker. To erase the doubts that you have, take a carens for a spin..peace bro

On a different note, a carens will smoke a fortuner 3.0 anytime on the highway. I have proven this not once but twice, with modesty aside.

just to comment....

sabi naman ni sir Mschumacker "...I think carens can go as fast as 230+ kph." di naman nya sinabi that his carens reached that speed. And I agree with him 100%. Why? because I've driven our carens at 160++ and I can feel that the engine can still give more. Will I dare try 230 hell no, my heart can't take that, but on the theory that it can reach 230... I agree.

while manufacturer listed 190 as top speed, that engine will not stop when pushed harder to reach more. wala naman siguro intention mga tao dito to mislead the reader.. excited lang sila (kami pala) sa power ng carens.

peace po!

My advice, don't believe everything in the brochure...

Anyways, some carens sightings....

Last Sunday, a grey (?) one with Z**-710 was trailing us along Annapolis in Greenhills around 2PM. Ganda mags. I love the color!

Yesterday, a red CRDI EX blew past me along NLEX northbound. ZKF-614. Beauty! Was on my way to Subic then in my old jelopy...
