2022 Kia Carens officially announced: Naza Citra Rondo is resurrected, will it be introduced to the local market in the future?

Some friends should remember the Naza Citra Rondo, right? Recently, the prototype of this car was officially released overseas. What is different from the previous model is that the 2022 Kia Carens has changed from the original MPV to an SUV. Because of the demand for 7-seater cars in Southeast Asia, The chance of introducing local is very high!

In the past, Naza OEM many of Kia's models in the form of OEM production, Carens is one of them, you should not know the Carens directly, but when it comes to Citra Rondo, everyone should have an impression! At that time, the local price of this car started from RM 84,888. Although the visibility was not as good as that of the Citra of the year, it was considered a Naza car with good sales!

However, due to market strategy issues, the previous generation of Carens did not introduce to the local market, but this car has a good sales record abroad. As the rare Korean MPV currently on the market, a major facelift model will also meet with us recently. , But the exterior design of this car has changed from a traditional MPV to an SUV in order to better meet the needs of the current market!

The new generation of Carens has a body size of 4,540 mm X 1,800 mm X 1,700 mm and a wheelbase of 2,780 mm. It can be said to stand out among the same class of cars! In addition, Kia also adopted the design of extraordinary times to create a new generation of Carens, for example, the front face has split headlights, and the rear is equipped with 3D continuous LED taillights, plus in order to highlight the "SUV" element, so The new car uses a lot of scratch-resistant materials, so the overall look is very public!

The interior part continues the high-quality design of Kia. The touch screen host attached to the center console and the digital instrumentation are very technological. In addition, the interior of the new car has an atmosphere light design and comes in 64 colors. Switch, but this design alone will add a lot of points! However, there is no further official map to point out the seat configuration of this car, so we will update it as soon as we have further news in the future!

For the engine, the new Carens offers three engine configurations, namely 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (115 Hp/144 Nm), 1.4L turbocharged engine (140 Hp/242 Nm) and 1.5L diesel Turbocharged engine (115 Hp/250 Nm), the matching gearbox is a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

In terms of body size, the closest rival of the new generation of Carens is the revamped Avanza . Therefore, it is believed that the original factory will introduce this car in Southeast Asia and other markets in the future. In addition, Kia Malaysia announced earlier that China will become a regional center . I believe this car will be planned, because 7-seater models still have a certain market for the Southeast Asian market, we are looking forward to it, there will be 7-seater models in addition to the Japanese ones!
