Kia Carnival Receives 3,000+ Bookings, Waiting Period Crosses 6 Months

Kia India has received 3,350 bookings for the Carnival MPV, marking a rise from 2,796 bookings at its October 2024 launch. Priced at Rs 63.90 lakh (ex-showroom), the fully-loaded variant has a waiting period of over six months, with 400 units already delivered.

The redesigned Kia Carnival brings a bold, SUV-inspired look, setting it apart in the luxury MPV segment. Measuring 5,155mm in length, 1,995mm in width, and 1,775mm in height (including roof rails), with a generous 3,090mm wheelbase, the Carnival exudes a commanding road presence. The front is highlighted by a larger grille, vertically stacked LED headlights, and distinctive L-shaped daytime running lights. Adding to its appeal are 18-inch alloy wheels that enhance its premium styling.

Inside, the Carnival offers a spacious 7-seat configuration in a practical 2+2+3 layout, blending comfort with luxury. The cabin features high-quality materials and modern touches, with different interior themes depending on the variant. The Limousine trim sports a dark blue and grey combination, while the Limousine Plus variant adds sophistication with a brown and black scheme.

Packed with features, the MPV includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 11-inch head-up display, a digital driver’s display, dual electric sunroofs, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system. Additional highlights like powered ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, sliding doors, and three-zone climate control ensure a comfortable and high-tech experience for all passengers.

Kia Carnival, powered by a 190 bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine, offers standard three-row seating with individual captain seats in the second row for enhanced comfort. Available in black and white colour options, both variants have seen equal demand from customers. Kia is now preparing to introduce its next model for India, the Syros SUV, which has been teased extensively ahead of its official debut on December 19.

The Carnival is equipped with a Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), offering features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot collision warning, forward collision avoidance, and lane keep assist. These advanced technologies enhance safety, making it an ideal choice for both families and adventure enthusiasts.
