    Prime model 

    Hello today we visited to view carens prestige manual model it's cost around rs1480000 to rs 1500000 but our budget around 1350000 so we came little disappointed then salewomen took us to view the premium model which is base variant and she treats us very good, She convince us with great move bc the prime model was luxury comparing to competative company and three row was more comfortable then any other car which is in this rate it has recline option 4 to 5 shift and seat also move with that move so the space is too good we did expect that much comfort for the three row and ac vent are available for three rows in base model itself.If you are search for 7 seater with budget around 1350000rs my opinion once visit carens premium model, Go and see all car which you decide to see but see the carens at late then you will decide to buy carens 100% worth it.
