Kia Launches Factory-Fitted CNG Carens Models In India
Kia has added CNG versions of two cars in India.
They are called the Carens and Carens Clavis.
The starting price is Rs 12.11 lakh before other charges.
CNG is a fuel option that can be used instead of regular petrol or diesel in some cars.
These systems are installed by Kia at the factory.
This is different from having a dealer install a kit after the car is made.
Factory-installed systems typically come with crash-testing and warranty coverage.
Kia’s launch comes shortly after its Sorento launch.
Other car companies are also adding factory-fitted CNG models.
