The horsepower of the Kia Carens is 152 hp or 124 hp. The Kia Carens is equipped with two engines: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. It features front dual airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, ESP and ABS systems, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and a steering wheel audio control system. The dimensions of the Kia Carens are 4545mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1650mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The top speed of the vehicle is 181 km/h, and the maximum torque of the engine is 189 Nm. The tire specification is 205/60R16.
I often go on road trips, so I have a good feel for the Kia Carens' performance. Most versions come with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, delivering around 155 horsepower, which is quite suitable for city driving—smooth starts and adequate acceleration on highways. Compared to the Honda Odyssey's 160 horsepower, the Carens isn't the most powerful, but the engine is designed with comfort in mind, offering low noise levels and reasonable fuel consumption, averaging 8-9 liters per 100 km. Friends have shared that even when fully loaded with family or luggage, the engine doesn’t struggle, and the CVT transmission ensures smooth gear shifts. In terms of maintenance, this engine is quite durable—just stick to regular oil changes, and you won’t have to worry about it failing under heavy loads.
