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 Isuzu MU-X
Pros
- Ride Quality
- Spacious
- Powerful Engines
Cons
- Unattractive
- Lacks Modern Features
- Lacks Variants
Verdict
The MU-X is a likeable bloke and while it does have its drawbacks, it is definitely a massive step-up from the MU-7. Of course, the MU-X falls short on features, power, equipment when compared to its immediate rivals such as the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner, but with the 2WD prices at ₹ 23.99 lakh and the 4WD prices at ₹ 25.99 lakh, it is almost ₹ 5-6 lakh cheaper than the top-of-the-line models of its competition. So, keeping that in mind, it makes for a good proposition.
