Gearbox: 6-MT (Sole Option for Standard Carens)
In a strategic shift for 2026, the standard Carens is now offered exclusively with a 6-speed Manual Transmission. Enthusiasts seeking the 7-speed DCT or the 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic are now directed toward the Carens Clavis variants. The manual setup remains front-wheel drive (FWD) with a light clutch action optimized for city traffic.
