A new car made by Rana Motors Limited and targeted towards Ghanaian families, 'KIA Carens', has just been introduced to the market in Ghana.

The vehicle has seven seats and a 1.5-liter engine.

It has the necessary room and features for a family car, including 10 strong safety features including six airbags, ABS, ESC, HAC, VSM, DBC (Downhill Brake Control), BAS, all-wheel disc brakes, TPMS Highline, and rear parking sensors, among others.

Speaking to reporters at the introduction on July 4, 2023, Rana Motors' Chief Operating Officer Kassem Odaymat said the car has features that are safe and easy for families.

“The KIA Carens is one of the first 7-seater cars which we have launched and is affordable, low on fuel consumption with a good output and is filled with convenience such as leather seats, 8-inch screen with Android Auto and Apple Car Play,” Odaymat said.

He continued, “It also comes with a remote engine which can be switched on from a distance, collapsible seats, sunshade curtains for the backseats, enough storage and utility spacing among other features for the day-to-day convenience of the family”

In terms of the price range, Kassem Odaymat explained it is positioned between the KIA Celtos and KIA Sportage models and comes with a cheaper price range.

“So, a customer will be having 7-seater family car full of good features of convenience and safety which is being priced cheaper and less than the KIA Sportage model,” the COO disclosed.
