Kia Motors India entered India with a bang with the launch of the Seltos compact SUV and the automaker's next product for the Indian market will be the Carnival MPV. The Kia Carnival is a Toyota Innova Crysta rival and we already told you that the model is slated to make its way to the Indian market next year. Now, Kia India has confirmed that production of the upcoming MPV will begin by early 2020 at the Anantapur facility in Andhra Pradesh. The plant built with an investment of $1.1 billion is now fully operational and already produces the Seltos for domestic and export markets. The Kia Carnival will be the second offering to be manufactured at the facility and will be showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo.

The key reason for discontinuing the model is because it does not comply with the BS6 phase 2 emissions norms, which came into effect from April 2023.

Actor Subodh Bhave, known for films like Balgandharva, Katyar Kaljat Ghusali and Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar, recently brought home a brand new Kia Carnival MPV.

Sonu Nigam recently took the keys to his brand new Kia Carnival MPV. The singer was snapped at a dealership in Mumbai receiving his brand new car with his close ones in attendance.

Kia India has made subtle cosmetic updates in the design of the new Carnival and has added a new variant to the range in our market.
