Kia Carens Engines and Transmissions

Every Kia Carens engine in this generation is a gasoline four-cylinder sending power to the front wheels, a simple drivetrain that keeps the floor flat and servicing affordable. Examples include the 1.8 with a manual or automatic transmission, and the 2.0 with an automatic, which pulls more easily when the van is fully loaded.
