About the Kia Carnival
Kia's luxury limousine MPV with lounge-style seating, in diesel and hybrid form.
The Carnival is a large luxury MPV aimed at chauffeur-driven use and premium families. You can have a 2.2-litre diesel or a hybrid that combines electric and diesel, making around 190 bhp, in roomy seven-seat and chauffeur-focused layouts. Prices run from ₹56 lakh to ₹59.45 lakh, which puts it firmly in premium people-mover territory.
The highlights are reclining captain's chairs, dual sunroofs, large infotainment and rear-entertainment screens, powered sliding doors and a long features list. It goes up against the Toyota Vellfire, the top Innova Hycross trims and some luxury SUVs. It suits buyers and businesses who want limousine-grade rear-seat comfort with the practicality of a van-based MPV.

“The Carnival is built for families who need space, comfort and safety in equal measure. Its 2.2L turbocharged diesel delivers solid performance while the cabin tech and safety suite feel properly thought-out for the segment. Efficiency and ride quality are adequate rather than exceptional, but this is a car that knows what it is: a premium people-mover with genuine substance.
