Despite being the haven for 7-seaters, the all-new 2022 Kia Carens made its global debut in India in late-2021 instead of Indonesia. The all-new 7-seater sheds its family-friendly MPV image for a trendy, SUV look but is proven to be a success in the subcontinent. Could that success be repeated in Indonesia? Well, the Carens isn’t launched in the archipelago yet. Instead, Kia’s Indonesia distributor, PT Kreta Indo Artha (PT KIA), is showcasing the all-new 7-seater crossover at the ongoing Gaikind

The Kia Carens was a well-known car among Malaysian families as it laid the foundation for the popular Naza Citra but this all-new model which made its global debut in India is anything but an MPV. Instead, Kia is calling it a recreational vehicle (RV) in a bid to confuse buyers and salespeople. As the design sketches teased, the all-new Carens combines the chunky looks of an SUV with the silhouette of an MPV. It resembles that of the Mitsubishi Xpander, Toyota Avanza, Honda BR-V, and Perodua Ar

Those asinine staff in the marketing departments of carmakers are solely responsible for the cesspool that are fluffed up definition of bodystyles for vehicles. Four-door coupes, sports activity vehicles soon devolved into “fluid” body styles that could be anything we wanted them to be. The new Kia Carens wasn’t spared either. Much like how Kia labelled the new Carnival last year a “Grand Utility Vehicle,” they’re refraining from referring to the new Carens as a minivan. Instead, to appeal to al

The 12-day-long Thailand International Motor Expo – the largest annual car sales event in Southeast Asia – is the automotive equivalent of an Asian football cup. All major brands operating in the region see the event as a final all-or-nothing push to clear their inventory and hit annual sales targets before the year ends. Last year’s event was a rude awakening for many Japanese brands. BYD, Aion, MG, Deepal, and GWM leapfrogged Nissan, Isuzu, Mazda, and Mitsubishi. Honda struggled to stay ahead

The past week (or months) hasn’t been kind to Neta. In China, Neta is facing severe financial difficulties and has reportedly stopped production at its Yichun and Nanning plants. It received some reprieve when the Chinese state-owned Nanning Industrial Investment Group stepped in to provide financial support. Just as Neta found life support, it was torpedo-ed by ASEAN NCAP’s test results for the Neta V, which earned tragically comedic ‘Zero Star’ rating. As a Global NCAP-affiliated organization

Mercedes-AMG’s 45 series has always been about taking something everyday – be it a hatchback, sedan, or in this case, a crossover – and turning it into something extraordinary.
