Behind the wheel of the Kia Carens
As for performance, the allnew Carens delivers a refined and composed journey.
It boasts a range of sturdy powertrains, from the Smartstream G1.5 8AT to the 1.5L CRDi VGT 6MT.
The Bruneian team had a chance to test out the 1.5L CRDi VGT 6AT that provides the ample amount of power for our drive from the Kafe De’Kopi at Tungku Link to the Katok Highway,
The versatile G1.5 with its six-speed auto transmission produces 115ps at 4,000rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm
We spent most of our time in the busy Gadong area moving along effortlessly with the cars around us turning heads.
Moreover, along with the twist and turns of the tight roads at Kg Katok, the responsive steering and handling are good and there was minimal body roll.
Throughout the journey, the Kia Carens was perfectly stable and planted which inspired confidence from behind the wheel.
The overall impression is that the Kia Carens satisfies both in its style and everyday practicality. It is comfortable, versatile and easy to drive, perfect for long journeys with a big family.
