Kia officially unveiled the new Carens, a compact MPV model which is ready to enter the European market somewhere next spring.

The South Korean model gets a modern exterior appearance with the brand’s new front grille, large optical blocks, fog lights integrated into the bumper, large multi-spoke alloy wheels, turn signals placed in the side mirrors and more.
