Kia Carens or new Mahindra Scorpio-N: which to buy?

June 19, 2022

Kia Carens front quarter

We are planning to buy the Luxury+ variant of the new Kia Carens with the 1.4-litre petrol engine mated to the 7 DCT gearbox. I have heard that there are many issues with the car, including a bad air conditioner, among others. We are also concerned about the safety rating. Should we cancel it and book the new Mahindra Scorpio-N?

Autocar India says: We are currently running a long-term Carens with the 7-speed DCT and have faced no issues with the aircon in Mumbaiā€™s heat. On the safety aspect, there are a lot of misconceptions on how safe a car is, and it is usually based on a single GNCAP rating, which, though important, is not the only measure of safety. The Carens comes with some useful safety features like a TPMS, which other cars donā€™t get. We donā€™t think itā€™s an unsafe car in an overall safety rating context. Our advice is to hang on to your booking as the Carens is great value for money despite the recent price increase.
