Kia Carnival Car Latest Updates

Kia has discontinued the Carnival's base-spec Premium 8-seater and the mid-spec Prestige 9-seater variants. The luxury MPV is now available in four broad trims: Premium 7-seater, Prestige 6-Seater, Limousine and Limousine Plus. Besides, the carmaker has said it will reduce the production of the base-spec Premium 7-seater and mid-spec Prestige 6-seater variants. While the exact reason is not yet announced, we believe it's due to the poor demand.


Kia Carnival Engine

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. Kia claims a fuel economy of 13.9kmpl for the Carnival. It also comes with a boot space of 540 litres.

Kia Carnival Variants

The MPV is available in three variants: Prestige, Premium and Limousine, with the option of 7, 8 or 9 seats. All three variants are available with the 2.2-litre diesel engine. The limousine variant is a 7-seater version with luxurious armchairs for the middle row. The Prestige variant is available as a 7- or 9-seater. The entry-level Premium trim is available as a 7- or 8-seater. Three colour options on offer are Glacier White Pearl, Steel Silver, Aurora Black Pearl.

Kia Carnival Features

Some standout features in the Carnival include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charger, rear electric sliding doors, rear entertainment screens as well as tri-zone climate control. Safety features on offer are 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera as well as electronic stability control. The top-spec variants also get UVO connected car (free for 3 years), Harman/Kardon premium 8-speaker sound system and 10.1-inch dual touchscreen rear seat entertainment system, 10-way power driver seat, driver seat ventilation, wireless charger and smartwatch connectivity.

Kia Carnival Competitors

The Carnival has no direct competitors as such but it will go up against the Toyota Innova Crysta in India.

What is good and bad in Carnival Car?

    Big and imposing, spacious and comfortable, feature-loaded and well built - the Carnival has a lot going for it. However, there are some things that it really aces. Comfort levels, both in terms of ride quality and space, is really good across all three rows of seats (in the 7 VIP, 7 and 8 seat variants).

  • Carnival Negatives

    It may be a bit too big for some parking lots. Also, if you opt for the 9 seat option, you'll have to make a compromise between luggage space or passenger comfort.

  • Expert's Conclusion

    If you love to travel with your extended family on long road trips, then the Carnival will ensure that you can seat everyone in absolute comfort. There's more than enough cool features to ensure that the journey is as fun as the destination too.

    On the surface it gives the appearance of a family car but do not let its looks deceive you, Under the good this car is a beast.12 kmpl mileage on highway and 9 kmpl in city if you drive like a gentleman.Kia after sales experience has been very pleasant, Transparent and prompt dealing.Handling of the vehicle is responsive despite the steering wheel being lightweight.Sliding doors may give issues in winters but kia service can take care of that during regular maintenance.Also, There should be feature to disable the left sliding door when fuel lid is open.If not careful, Something could go wrong during refueling.8 seater configuration with dual sunroof variant would have made it a perfect family car.But sadly, 8 seater is discontinued.10k-15k average maintenance cost.Other than that if you're considering something like innova crysta top model, Stretch your budget and choose carnival, You won't be disappointed.

  • Good Choice For The Family

    On the surface, it gives the appearance of a family car but do not let its looks deceive you. It gives good mileage on the highways as well as in the city if you drive like a gentleman. Kia's after-sales experience has been very pleasant, transparent, and prompt dealing. The handling of the vehicle is responsive despite the steering wheel being lightweight. Sliding doors may give issues in winter but Kia service can take care of that during regular maintenance. Also, there should be a feature to disable the left sliding door when the fuel lid is open. If not careful, something could go wrong during refueling. 8 seater configuration with a dual sunroof variant would have made it a perfect family car. But sadly, 8-seaters are discontinued. 10k-15k average maintenance cost. Other than that if you're considering something like Innova Crysta top model, Stretch your budget, and choose Carnival, You won't be disappointed.

  • Review on my kia carnival limousine

    What i really like about my carnival limousine is that it is really easy to drive considering the length of the car, Engine performance is really good(197 hp and 440nm).The cabin is extremely spacious with comfortable captain seats in the middle row.The harmon kardon speakers is so good.Having the car for more than one year there are positive and negatives are there.The ground clearance is a bit low have to be careful on speed breakers.Be careful of buying this car from which dealerships in chennai.Don't consider to buy your carnival or any kia car from svm dealer you can go for kun/capital, Because the service is not good, We have complained them a lot for poor service.Things which could have been better is that they could have given some more features like ventilated seat for co passenger seat as well, The touchscreen could have been bigger, Ground clearance could have been improved and more features expected at this price point.

    Good 7 Seater

    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.

    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.
