Kia Announces Factory-Fitted CNG Versions of Carens and Carens Clavis MPVs
Kia is set to launch factory-fitted CNG versions of its Carens and Carens Clavis MPVs in India, marking its entry into the factory-fitted CNG passenger vehicle market. Both models feature a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine adapted for CNG, producing around 93-96 hp and 123 Nm torque. A 60-litre CNG tank is installed beneath the boot floor, reducing luggage space but retaining the spare wheel under the vehicle. Prices and variant details will be announced by late September or early October.
