Exterior

• The Carnival’s tall plus wide face with a big patterned grille and sharp lights give it a confident look amongst boxy MPVs.
• Then, the slim LED headlights offer bright visibility during night drives.
• From the side, it looks long and stretched out, with large doors and big windows.
• Its size in itself makes it clear that it is built to carry several people comfortably.
• Then, pillars around the windows are partly blacked out, so the roof seems to float above the glass.
• The rear looks neat and upright, with a wide tailgate that opens to reveal a big boot.
• Slim LED tail lamps run across the back, giving it a clean and modern look.
  It has large alloy wheels that fill the wheel arches, complementing the premium design.
• Furthermore, the side doors are sliding doors, powered to open and close at the touch of a button.
• At the back, the boot door is also powered, so it can lift itself automatically.
• Moreover, the luxury MPV also gets roof rails, a sleek little shark fin antenna, and a dual sunroof in other variants.
