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.
