All 4 Kia Carens Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
The Carens Clavis EV isn't just another trim - it's Kia's very first electric vehicle built in India.
Kia pulled the plug on selling the third-gen Carens (badged Rondo) in the US entirely — Canada was the only North American market that still got it.
This Carens' V6 was the end of an era for Kia: the last engine the brand ever built with a timing belt before switching to chains for good.
Kia's first Carens — the RS — wasn't a clean-sheet MPV at all. It rode on the same platform as the Kia Sephia sedan.
