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 Maruti Suzuki XL6

Pros

  • Affordability
  • Comfortable Seats
  • Improved Safety Kit

Cons

  • No Diesel On Offer
  • Lacks Outright Grunt
  • 3Rd-Row Isn'T For Everyone

Verdict

The XL6 is a welcome addition to the Maruti Suzuki family. Could it have been better? Yes. But it is still a car I see plenty of families and individuals adopting. The pricing is fairly attractive sitting just a bit higher than the Ertiga's but with a good chunk of equipment as standard. It may not be as big as the Innova, and perhaps remains a tad lower on premiumness. But its ride quality and feature list, plus its styling and pricing will get people in to check out Nexa's first 3-row car.
