Kia Carens X-Line exterior 

The Kia Carens X-Line gets an exclusive Matte Graphite paint scheme on the outside, and while certain elements like the front radiator grille garnish and the trim below the windows are finished in chrome, other elements like the radiator grille, front and rear bumper edges and the roof rails get a glossy black finish. The MPV runs on 16-inch crystal cut alloys, which is the same as other variants, but it gets a glossy black outline and a blacked-out centre cap. The X-Line also gets front brake callipers in a silver finish.

On the inside, the Kia Carens X-Line gets a sage green and black colour theme with orange stitching on certain elements. Unlike the standard Carens, this variant is available exclusively in a 6-seater configuration with second-row captain seats. The highlight on the inside, however, is the new 10.1-inch infotainment unit that is placed behind the front passenger seat. The unit gets a screen mirroring function and other news and educational apps, with a remote control mobile app that can be used to control the rear infotainment screen.
