2024 Kia Carnival Review - Expensive Family Car But Still Worth It?

[@arunshenoy-n7t]

Clarifications from Kia: 1. Only the body is imported from Vietnam. The rest of the kit comes in from South Korea. 2. The rear climate control interface is on the driver’s side because the vehicle is primarily sold in LHD markets. 3. The second row screens were always an accessory for the previous generation. It was simply offered complimentary. Rear entertainment screens will eventually be offered as an accessory for the new Carnival.

Also, I made an error. The Carnival has a 12-speaker sound system and not an 8-speaker.

Saw Tushar in faisal’s vlog. Aise hi vlog mein ghus Jaya kro. Maza aayega ❤

That price is smart and dumb at the same time lol

[@zigwheels]

😂 kind of. The Carnival and EV9 are “branding” products. Essentially showcasing what Kia does internationally. These cars aren’t brought in with high volume expectations though bookings for the Carnival have been good, considering the high price

[@pacificsword1632]

The price is weird. But i guess they want to sell to uber rich and movie stars that can't afford a vellfire or v class. Also tushar is happy because a car is finally built to his size. Finally enough legroom for him

@Tushar. Looking for a decent 7 str automatic next summer. Budget around 30 lacs. Need automatic for Bangalore's mad traffic. About 200 to 300 city and 400 highway a month. Need a safe, practical, hassle free car for 5 adults and 2 kids. Trying to see if I can also stay fuel efficient. Besides xuv, which I want really, and want to avoid innova, is there a choice? Pls share your thoughts about xuv petrol AT.

[@zigwheels]

The XUV700 will fit the bill but you have to be wary of the low fuel efficiency with the petrol. In peak traffic, 6-7kmpl.

​@zigwheels for my use is diesel recommended? I am unsure if I want to deal with def issues etc. Any other decent 7 strs st all?

Is it better to get carnival over the new e class

[@zigwheels]

The key advantages (purely from a chauffeur driven car perspective) for the Carnival are the near lie flat “relax mode” seating position and the seat ventilation and heating. There’s also a lot more legroom of course. The E Class has a richer interior, better noise insulation and it’s more comfortable in a regular seating positioning.

[@PranithShetty-l3c]

@@zigwheels what about ride quality is it better in Carnival ?
