THE CONTEMPORARY INDIAN CAR customer is beginning to value vehicle safety as they rightly should. This is a welcome move because when it comes to road travel, safety must always take precedence. While drivers should always be trained well, cautious, and drive safely, their vehicles should also include specific safety features to be of help to passengers in case of an accident.

Kia India appear to be paying attention to this specific need of Indian buyers. Their latest model, the Carens, comes standard with a comprehensive list of safety equipment. The Carens not only presents itself as a capable Recreational Vehicle, the most spacious six- or seven-seater in its class, but also offers the most extensive safety net in terms of both active and passive safety.
