Kia India has recently launched the Carnival Limousine at a starting price of Rs 63.9 lakh (ex-showroom). In less than 20 days since its launch, the premium people mover has gathered over 3,000 bookings. As a result, the MPV is now reportedly commanding a waiting period of nearly 1 year.
This is a huge achievement for Kia considering the fact that the previous-gen MPV recorded only 3500 units in India. Also, it is notable that the new Carnival comes at a much higher price than its predecessor.
