Pros Cons of Isuzu MU-X

Pros

  • Ride Quality
  • Spacious
  • Powerful Engines

Cons

  • Unattractive
  • Lacks Modern Features
  • Lacks Variants

Verdict

The MU-X is a likeable bloke and while it does have its drawbacks, it is definitely a massive step-up from the MU-7. Of course, the MU-X falls short on features, power, equipment when compared to its immediate rivals such as the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner, but with the 2WD prices at ₹ 23.99 lakh and the 4WD prices at ₹ 25.99 lakh, it is almost ₹ 5-6 lakh cheaper than the top-of-the-line models of its competition. So, keeping that in mind, it makes for a good proposition.

Pros Cons of Kia Carnival

Pros

  • Captain Seats In Limousine Variant Is A Must Buy
  • Great Ride Quality
  • Diesel-Automatic Combination Is Great

Cons

  • Poor Safety On Lower Variants
  • Low Ground Clearance
  • 9-Seater Variant Offers Little Practicality

Verdict

The Carnival comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down kit, and while it has all the makings of a benchmark MPV, its higher price tag and the fact that Kia is still a relatively new brand is making a lot of MPV buyers shy away from the product. That said, it is undoubtedly a solid product and if you are out looking for a large, premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle, that can also double up as a family car or maybe a workplace on wheels, then you must consider the Kia Carnival.
