In Pics: Kia Carnival New Generation MPV Model Unveiled At Auto Expo 2023

The current Carnival has been around for a long time and hence, the new generation model is much bigger and packed with a lot of new features as well. Design wise, the new Carnival gets a bolder look and looks less like an MPV now with a sleeker face while the visual bulk is disguised well.

The new Carnival is now one of the longest cars in India with a length of 5156mm and that is a lot more than the current generation model. All that has been translated to a lot more space on the inside with captain seats and multiple seating configurations. The dashboard has dual 12.3-inch screens and a rotary drive selector while the design along with quality is more luxurious now too.

The sliding powered doors are a hallmark of the new Carnival while space inside is huge with a more luxurious upholstery being used. There is a lot more on offer in regards to features now including ADAS features and more comfort focused amenities like 3-zone climate control and more. The new gen Carnival will continue with a large diesel engine along with an automatic gearbox while abroad the new Carnival gets a large petrol engine too.

For India, the new generation Carnival will be carrying a higher price-tag with the amount of luxury on-board plus the size hence, it is more of a rival to the likes of the Toyota Vellfire rather than the Innova Hycross though the top-end Hycross and the Carnival will somewhat be expected to have a similar price-point.

Premium MPVS have seen a huge demand in terms of luxury and need to travel more, hence, the Carnival fits right in. (All Images Credit: Somnath Chatterjee))
