Recently Asked User Questions
Q. Which option is better in terms of comfort and mileage? Petrol AT or Petrol MT?
- If you'll be driving more in heavy city traffic then we suggest you opt for Automatic Transmission which is easier to use and more comfortable for the driver, and mileage is better than MT variant, while Manual Transmission vehicles are less expensive more involved and are more fun to drive on highways. And we would suggest you take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city and brand for dealership details.
Q. What's the differnce between Carens and Alcazar?
- Selecting the right car would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. Alcazar will feel homely if you’ve experienced the Creta’s cabin. The layout is easy to navigate and get familiar with as well. There isn’t a difference in quality, fit or finish, and it feels well-built and premium. On the other hand, The Kia Carens recently launched in the Indian market on 15 February. The surprising bit is that the Carens is larger than its cousin, the Hyundai Alcazar, in every dimension. The wheelbase is longer by 20mm, much of which has been added after the B-pillar as is made obvious by the long rear doors. This, along with a taller roofline, change the proportions subtly but surely, resulting in an MPV-like look. The 16” wheels, when compared to the 18” on the Alcazar, temper the stance too. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
- It's just that alcazar comes with a bigger engine of 2000cc while carens commes with a 1500cc, same one as in creta, this adds to giving more mileage in cares and also very quiet cabin, also, a small engine doesn't mean the car is laging in power..... The carens can do quite a bit of off roaring too(if you are careful enough) although what I'd miss in my carens when compared to alcazar is the projector headlamp setup that lits up the road very well ahead of your alcazar.... But on the contrary, the carens gets a halogen 50 watt setup on all its models other than the top trim where it gets an led/hid setup.... Although you could replace the halogen bulbs with an aftermarket relay an 100/120 watt bulb combo or get the osram CBI pro projector bulbs or hid bulbs from any aftermarket car accessories shop..... These were certain observations i made while buying the carens and comparing it to the alcazar in the showrooms...... Youre welcome...😁
- Carens is best
Q. Which one to choose diesel or petrol?
- Selecting the right fuel type depends on your utility and the average running of the car. If you drive less than 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially than the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it a feasible purchase. Diesel cars are more fuel-efficient and provide more torque, therefore, are preferred for a person who drives more than 50km. Whereas, petrol engine has a low service cost, more life span, generally have a well-controlled NVH level and are cheaper in cost than the diesel engines. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
