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
- Stunning Looks & Design
- High On Features And Tech
- Offered In Both Petrol And Diesel Options
Cons
- Petrol Engine Feels Just About Adequate
- Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
- Gets Faux Leather Seats Instead Of Real Leather
Verdict
The cabin of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is more spacious. On the inside you certainly get a sense of the 'Baby S' tag, perhaps more than the outside, because of a superior material quality and design layout. The sense of luxury that you get is more heightened. The C-Class isn't still the best drivers' car - the BMW 3 Series has still got that covered. But in terms of style, space, luxury and comfort, the new C-Class is compelling and pushes the envelope far.
