Auto Expo 2020 Live - Kia Carnival launched in India, priced from INR 24.95 lakh

The Kia Carnival has been launched in India at Auto Expo 2020 for a starting price of INR 24.95 lakh*. The premium MPV is available in our market in three trims and seating layouts but with only one powertrain.

The Indian-spec Kia Carnival is powered by a BS-VI 2.2-litre diesel engine that is linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine is capable of producing 200 PS of maximum power and 440 Nm of peak torque.

The Kia Carnival can be had in India as a 7-seater, an 8-seater or a 9-seater. While the 7-seater variant has captain seats in the second row and three sinking seats in the third row, the 8-seater version replaces the captain seats in the second row with sinking seats for three people abreast. The 9-seater version, on the other hand, comes with four-row seats, with captain seats in the second and third rows and three sinking seats in the fourth one.
