For the second time this summer, Kia is teasing the upcoming Carens compact MPV with a set of sketches that were released in advance of the car's world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September.
These three drawings outline the shape of the actual minivan and include realistic depictions of the lights and the front grille, all of which remind us of the Cee'd compact, which forms the base for the new Carens and will also lend its engine lineup of 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter petrol and diesel engines.
For now, Kia remains tight-lipped about the details surrounding the Carens, with some questions including whether it will be offered in a 5- and/or 7-seat interior layout and if it will replace the Rondo minivan, which was available in its North American lineup up until 2010, in overseas markets.
Thanks for the tip J. Bartos!

Tail light looks like the one from Ford B-max...
yes... moreover the front end looks like a BMW, and from the side it looks like Opel Zafira.
What's the point of this? I understand teasing with a halo car, a sports car, a new design language, hell even the bread and butter volume car from your range, but this...
It would be a good toe in the water for the Cee'd into the Australian market, especially after the leaked high performance stuff recently, KIA needs some sporty models over here.
Very nice body shape. So far, the ideal of the small MPV class was the Ford C Max. But the new Kia Carens beats him.
