2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[jeanpierre]

just to add:

LX has keyless entry also...

i dont think LX or EX has ABS...checked the instrument panel for ABS light as mentioned in the manual, none shows up...

EX has body colored side mirrors and chrome door handles...

and yes, there is not enough room for luggage behind the third row seat...

just got mine last tue and drove it 300kms already...so far so good... ;)

Congrats June T for your new ride. Any fuel consumption figure yet? Actually, talked to one of my indonesian friend who owns a carens too. He claims that he's gettting 8-9 km/liter inspite of the traffic condition in Jakarta.

around 7-8km/liter, mostly highway driving sa nlex...break in period pa lang siguro and medyo mabigat paa ko sa accelerator eh... ;)

hopefully, gumanda pa FC, otherwise, pang coding na lang hehehe...

LX ba yung Carens mo?

LX A/T

JuneT, kamusta build quality ng carens mo? Medyo malakas sa gas ano? I also get around 6-7km/liter city driving on my sportage (same tayo engine).

anyway, happy ako sa Kia ko.

ok lang naman... serves its purpose, confortable seating for my family, not to big a car...and not to mentioned, the surprised looks you get on the road when they see carens' behind...

hirap lang hanap kia accessories, san ba meron?

might change mags/tires to 225/50 R17

Try to ask sa casa regarding the accessories. I would recommend that you see the Korean site for your reference. KDM. mas ok keysa sa USDM or Euro.

wala pa sa casa eh... medyo matagal tagal na antayan siguro and depende on the sales volume the carens will generate... saw some sa koreanautoimports.com...

thanks!

sorry kung medyo confusing...

when I used on highway, city driving, heavy traffic (combination), logged around 8.35km/liter....

when used plainly within the city (antipolo-eastwood-antipolo), it logged around 6-7km/liter. medyo traffic yun during rush hours.

as of now, 1K pa lang natatakbo ko, hopefully, mag-improve yun fuel consumption...balitaan kita.

in time magkakaruon din yan. Medyo kukulitin molang. I'll tell this to the kia guys pag nagkita kami. . nagtatrabaho lang sa columbia. I finally saw the Carens kanina sa Kia Pasay. 818k for entry level. But hindi naman mukhang entry level. I like the interior.

Hi! Can anyone confirm the differences between EX and LX? Haven't had the time to visit a dealer and the last time I did, the salesman was no help at all.

Does it come with grey or black interior instead of beige?

How's the space and ride comfort compared to say, an Innova? I'm planning to get a spare car later this year and somehow, except for badge which affects resale alot in this market, I think the Carens is better overall than an Innova.

Thanks!

Requesting for confirmation (if possible)...

Tuloy pa ba yung launching ng diesel units nito sa June/July of this year?

I asked the sales guy (during MIAS 07) about it and he said yes pero I just want to ask again (just to be sure).

Thanks
