Honda WR-V 2020-2023 vs Kia Carens Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Honda WR-V 2020-2023 starts at ₹9.11 L and the Kia Carens at ₹11.02 L, a difference of ₹1.91 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹2.12 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Honda WR-V 2020-2023 number is for the Diesel/Petrol Manual and the Kia Carens number is for the Diesel/Petrol/CNG Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Only the Kia Carens comes with a factory CNG option at 12.6 kmpl, which is the cheapest way to run either car in the city.

What one gives that the other does not: The Honda WR-V 2020-2023 adds Power Door Locks, Passenger Side Rear View Mirror, Rear Seat Belts, Adjustable Seats and Crash Sensor. The Kia Carens adds Brake Assist, Anti-Theft Alarm, Side Airbag, Curtain Airbag and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Honda WR-V 2020-2023 if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹1.91 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Kia Carens if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Honda WR-V 2020-2023 offers Power Door Locks.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
