Kia Motors India is all set to launch the Carnival on February 5 at Auto Expo 2020. It’s Kia’s second product for India after the successful Seltos. The Kia Carnival is a premium MPV which sits above the Innova Crysta. Here’s a closer look at the upcoming MPV in detailed images.
The Carnival’s fascia comes with Kia’s trademark design elements like the ‘tiger nose’ grille, projector headlamps and Ice Cube LED foglamps.
In profile, the Carnival’s silhouette looks like a typical MPV. Other highlights include a shoulder line that runs through the profile.
The Kia Carnival sits on 235/60 R18 10-spoke chrome-plated alloy wheels.
At the rear, highlights include split-LED tail lamps and a thin chrome strip above the number plate housing.
