The new Carens MPV will come in five- and seven-seat variants. Both will be called Carens: unlike rivals
such as the Renault Grand Scenic and Ford Grand C-Max, Kia has no plans to rename the bigger-capacity version.
The Carens is expected to share many of its mechanical parts with the latest Ceed. It's likely to offer a similar range of engines, including 1.6-litre diesel and petrol units.
Kia will reveal full pricing and specification details for the new Carens closer to its March 2013 on-sale date. It is expected to start at around £16,000.
Hyundai is expected to launch a closely related MPV - based on the i30 - at around the same time. It could be called ix30, but there are no details as yet.
