Pros
Cons
Verdict
The Hector Plus extends the offerings of the standard Hector by introducing a three-row configuration, providing a bit more in terms of passenger capacity. Despite this addition, it maintains the same overall size as the regular Hector but differentiates itself with a more subtle design approach, particularly by forgoing the thick chrome edge.
Pros
Cons
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.
