KIA will be unveiling it’s new 2007 Kia Carens 7-seater MPVat the 2006 Salon International del Automovil de Madrid (Madrid International Auto Salon) from May 25 2006 onwards.

The new 2007 Kia Carens will be longer, wider and taller than the Kia Carens II it replaces. In our local market, the Kia Carens has been badge-engineered by Naza as the Naza Citra. The sporty sketches remind me of the Lotus APX concept which was revealed by Lotus not too long ago.

Spyshots of the new 2007 Kia Carens on the test undergoing tests are also available below, and you get to check out the new interior. The gear shift lever is integrated into the dashboard console as with most MPVs. Round air conditioning vents seems to be the in thing these days.

    Is the illustration the same car as the real pix??

    The real pix look hideous while the illustration is very very sporty…

    Are you sure the both the same? Even the side rear window looks different…

    How come I feel that the design of Kia is getting better compare to Hyundai, even Hyundai owns Kia???

    Hyundai and Kia has different design direction. Kia targets a much younger buyer crowd.

    Concept pics are so, so, so attractive. But when it comes to the real stuff, it somehow diminishes the attractiveness like what happens here.

    The new Caren's shape still looks like the one it replaces. But it seems to be growing fat. Or maybe it's those puny wheels….

    Will see…
