Kia is set to launch the new Carnival in India next month, and some dealerships have reportedly started taking unofficial bookings, with a refundable deposit of Rs 1 lakh.
The new Carnival will arrive as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and is expected to be available in a single, fully loaded variant, priced around Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom).
This updated model is equipped with several features, including dual 12.3-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system, a rear-seat entertainment package, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a head-up display, and 8 airbags.
In India, the MPV is anticipated to come with a 2.2-litre diesel engine generating 191 BHP and 441 Nm of torque, paired with an automatic transmission — the same as the previous version.
The new Kia Carnival is scheduled to launch alongside the EV9 electric SUV on October 3, 2024.
