Het is dus een lange uitvoering van de India-spec Kia Seltos (die afwijkt van de internationale Seltos; iets korter en met minder verstevigingen in de bodemplaat, waardoor de auto minder stevig is tijdens een botsing). Op dezelfde manier is de Hyundai Alcazar een lange India-spec Creta, het Hyundai-zustermodel van de Seltos.

Vind het een spuuglelijke auto trouwens. De proporties zijn lelijk en het front en de achterkant zien er ook niet uit. Dan zie ik liever een echte MPV (Suzuki Ertiga of Mahindra Marazzo in India).
 
Vind het van achteren eerder een Hyundai: https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/427nA/s3/2021-hyundai-santa-fe-exterior-rear-quarter.jpg

Misschien door de flanklijn en vorm van de achterlichten van opzij gezien Santa Fe-achtig? De achterkant deed me juist aan de nieuwe Sportage denken.
 
De vernieuwde Kia Carens heet Kia Carens Clavis. Het uiterlijk is grondig herzien en het dashboard is op de middenconsole na nieuw ontworpen.
