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.

Pros Cons of Lexus LX

Pros

  • Dated Cabin Design
  • Subpar Fit And Finish
  • Not Very Engaging To Drive

Cons

  • Fuel Economy Is Very Poor
  • A Bit Too Expensive
  • Fit And Finish Could Be Better

Verdict

The Lexus LX, priced at Rs 2.82 crore ex-showroom, occupies a unique position in the luxury SUV market, particularly in India. The LX's price tag is reflective not just of the vehicle itself, but of the exclusivity and prestige associated with the Lexus brand, especially in a niche segment where these attributes are highly valued. It's more than just an SUV; it's a symbol of luxury and status.
