Kia has added a 2.0-litre petrol LS derivative to its Carens MPV range.

The 2.0 litre 142bhp petrol unit comes linked to either a five speed manual or four speed automatic transmission.

Pricing starts from £15,050 for the manual and £16,050 for the automatic and both come with a five year unlimited mileage warranty.

Paul Philpott, managing director of Kia Motors (UK), said: “It is an excellent addition to our ever expanding range and I am pleased that we are able to offer our customers a wider variety of choice.”
