    I own a Kia Carens Petrol, and I believe it's the best value-for-money 7-seater with a petrol automatic. Here's why: - Great value in the 7-seater MUV segment - Spacious across all three rows - Smooth 1.5L DCT petrol engine with No lag - Full safety features included even in the base variant—something even Toyota Hycross doesn't offer across all trims.

    The KIA Carens reason I like this car is because it provides a perfect balance of good features, the right price point and travel comfort. It fulfills my needs of ensuring that my family of 5 (including my pet dog) is able to travel comfortably whenever we take a vacation and the journey is enjoyable for everyone and Not tiring at all. The powerful engine makes driving on highways a breeze even with full load. The infotainment system is just right and the on steering controls help me get all the information just when I need it. In the 3 years that I have owned this car, it has Nothing but a pleasure to go around. While there may be much better cars out there for me this is the absolute best.
