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 Volvo XC90

Pros

  • Sharp Exterior Design
  • Comfortable Cabin
  • Loaded On The Feature Front

Cons

  • Climate Control Option Is Confusing
  • Touchscreen Takes Effort
  • Lacks Outright Performance

Verdict

The Volvo delivers an impressive performance without directly contesting the V6 or V8 SUVs. Its combined output of 400bhp, sourced from the electric motor and the 4-cylinder engine, is commendably robust. The vehicle operates smoothly and, when switched to Pure Mode, can cover slightly over 40 kilometres solely on electric power. Additionally, it offers instant torque, thanks to the electric motor's ability to provide maximum torque from a standstill, ensuring responsive and dynamic acceleration right from the get-go.
