A palace on wheels. If comfort is your thing.. Family is your first.. Look no further. Carnival is miles ahead of the nearest option. It is soft, quiet, easy and extremely suave. Could it have been sportier, yes but its not for the driver. But the diesel engine does pack a punch and can't be easily left behind.

Kia carnival does feel a tad bouncy over bad roads, But on the whole ride comfort and handling stay satisfactory even on this car.You have the same engine on the turbo variants of the hyundai venue, Grand i10 nios, Aura and verna.There too, The focus was on sporty performance.This engine definitely has a sportier feel over the diesel, And the 7-speed dct (dual-clutch auto) would be quicker on the shifts.

Questions & Answers on Kia Carnival 2020-2023

Answered by Zigwheels Expert

Latest
Most Relevant

Q. What safety features are offered in Kia Carnival?

In terms of passenger safety, it has up to six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), cornering brake control and hill assist.

Q. How many colours are available in Kia Carnival?

Kia Carnival is available in 3 colours: Steel Silver, Glacier White Pearl and Aurora Black Pearl.

Q. Kia Carnival is available in manual transmission?

The Kia Carnival comes with a 2.2-litre CRDI diesel engine. It puts out 200PS of power and 440Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Unlike the Innova Crysta, the Carnival is a front-wheel drive vehicle.

Q. For such a long car, is the ground clearance of 180mm sufficient to smoothly ride over speed breakers?

The engine feels refined and remains rather quiet, even while going hard on the throttle. It's easy to drive in the city and the power delivery is smooth and jerk-free. There is an initial firmness to the setup, which can be expected for a car weighing possibly over two tonnes but it never gets uncomfortable. There is independent suspension on all four corners (McPherson strut in front and multi-link at the back) to cushion you well over the usual speed breakers and broken patched in tarmac. Even on highways, the ride doesn’t feel bouncy and it can keep the occupants comfortable over long journeys. The size only becomes a bother when you try and get into tight parking spots. However, the Carnival gets a handy turning radius and can make turns sharply. The steering though feels a bit heavy while making low-speed u-turns. The reverse camera and the front parking sensors help you avoid scratching the expensive paint finish of the car. Let's get one thing straight -- this is a big car and needs to be driven like one. The front is pretty flat and stable while going through corners. The steering is on the heavier side, which keeps the confidence up. But, as expected, there is a body roll. However, it's surprising how controlled it is. Change a lane like a good citizen and it is hardly felt in the cabin. Even on twisty roads, the cabin remains pretty stable and the body roll isn’t as bad as its tall body would suggest. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision.
