Subsequent to last week’s initial teaser, Kia has provided another glimpse of the 2022 Carens / Rondo. The latest sketches shared by the Korean company reveal the more crossover-y design of the new generation minivan, which is due next week.
The overall muscular stance is defined by the new front end, which has a more upright design. A new interpretation of the tiger nose grille is visible, together with the slim headlights, DRLs, and big lower air intake in the bumper.
Further back, we can see that the windscreen is less raked than before and that the roofline, which is still slightly arched toward the rear, has a sharper styling. Muscular wheel arches, big side skirts, and black plastic cladding, together with the bigger wheels, and more generous ground clearance contribute to the new feel.
Out back, the 2022 Carens looks nothing like its predecessor and appears to have been inspired by Hyundai’s latest crossover lineup. It has sharper lines, thinner taillamps, joined together by a light strip, more aggressive-looking diffuser trim, smaller reflectors, and new corporate logo on the tailgate, between the lighting units.
Kia was kind enough to preview the interior design as well, which has three rows of seats, new dashboard panel, 10.25-inch infotainment system mounted in the middle, redesigned center console, and new three-spoke steering wheel.
Understood to share its construction with the Seltos subcompact crossover, the 2022 Kia Carens, which will be unveiled on December 16, might share some of its engines too. It will probably feature, depending on the market, manual, automatic, dual-clutch, and CVT transmissions as well, directing the power to the front wheels. The minivan will launch in India first, and from there, it should make its way to other regions of the globe, though the automaker has yet to say anything about the availability.
