Although we don’t need a table to compare the dimensions of both MPVs because it is clear from the above picture that the Innova Crysta is a larger MPV than the Kia Carens, I have mentioned a table above and by analysing the table we can easily say that the Innova is a bigger car than cars in every way except the Wheelbase.
Kia Carens has the longest wheelbase in the segment, which is a plus. However, this does not imply that the Kia Carens has a larger cabin than the Toyota Innova. However, it is unquestionably a genuine 7-seater, similar to the Innova Crysta, rather than a 5+2-seater.
Kia Carens vs Toyota Innova Crysta : Engine

The iconic Toyota Innova MPV is known for having the best engine options in its class. It is extremely reliable when it comes to engines and provides excellent performance as well. It comes with two engines: 2.7-litre petrol and a 2.4-litre diesel. The petrol variant produces 166 PS and 245 Nm, while the diesel produces 150 PS and 360 Nm. It has a five-speed manual transmission and a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Kia Carens, on the other hand, provides a diverse range of engine and transmission options, which is its primary advantage. It has three engines: 1.5-litre petrol, a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel. The 1.5-litre petrol engine produces 113bhp and 144Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the turbo-petrol engine produces 138bhp and 242Nm and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed DCT unit. The diesel variant produces 113bhp and 250Nm of torque and is available with a six-speed manual or a torque converter automatic transmission.

In terms of features, Cars from Kia or Hyundai are always the best in the segment, and Carens is no exception. In terms of features, it is even better than the Innova crysta.

When it comes to the Innova, it is also a feature-rich MPV, but not as much as Kia vehicles. LED projector headlamps, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, automatic AC, cruise control, perforated leather seats and USB fast charging port, eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, easy-slid passenger seat, Camel Tan perforated leather seats, and seven airbags are among the highlights of the Innova.

From the comparison above, it is clear that we cannot say these two are perfect rivals because the pricing, engine performance, and features are quite different, but one thing we can definitely conclude is that the Kia Carens could be a good alternative to the Toyota Innova if one wants an affordable car with great safety features from the base variant.
