Product Overview

Kia Carens 2 (chassis code UN) is an affordable mid-size minivan in production from 2006 to 2013. It was available with a range of petrol and diesel inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.7 liters.
Also sold as Kia Rondo, the Mk2 Carens has an uninspiring exterior styling. While its drivetrain has proven to be solid and its suspension setup decent, it occupied a market segment where enthusiasm has always been lacking.
Utility-minded owners will love the 2106L (74cu-ft) cargo space.
