2018 Kia Carens 1.7 CRDi 3 Euro 6 5-door MPV Diesel Manual

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2018 Kia Carens CRDi 3 for a few years now, and honestly, it’s been a solid workhorse. It’s got that 1.7L diesel engine — frugal, quiet, and doesn’t make a fuss. The car’s been kept well, only 35k miles on it, so it’s still in great shape.

I’ve had it mostly in Romsey, Test Valley, and it’s been perfect for family trips — seven seats, plenty of space, and the boot’s big enough for a couple of suitcases or a picnic. The heated front seats are a godsend when it’s cold, and I’ve actually used Apple CarPlay and Android Auto quite a bit — keeps me connected without having to fumble with a phone.

It’s got rear parking sensors, Bluetooth with voice control, and automatic headlight adjustment. The fuel economy is actually pretty good — I’m talking 63 mpg — so I don’t have to worry about the tank running dry too often. It’s also got a decent 0-60 in 10 seconds, which isn’t flashy but gives it a bit of pep when you need it.

I’ve got the ESP, parking sensors, and safety belt pretensioners — all standard, nothing fancy, just solid safety stuff. And the CO2 emissions are low, so it’s not exactly bad for the planet either.

It’s been a reliable daily driver, and now I’m selling it — just because I’ve found a new one I like better. It’s still in good nick, runs smooth, and I’ve kept it well-maintained. Price is £7,641, which I think is fair given how low the mileage is and how efficient it is.

If you’re looking for a practical, quiet, and reasonably efficient diesel MPV, this one’s been a real gem.
