- Kia India has stopped receiving bookings for the Carnival in India and even removed it from its official website, indicating its discontinuation from the Indian market.
- For those who aren’t aware, the Carnival was launched in India in 2020 as a more premium alternative to the Toyota Innova Crysta and proved to be an impressive people mover for its price tag.
- Initially available in various seating configurations, including a 9-seater option, the Carnival was eventually limited to the 6 and 7-seater variants before being discontinued.
- Powering the Carnival was a 2.2-litre diesel engine (200PS/440Nm), mated to an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
- Before discontinuation, this Korean MPV was priced between Rs 30.99 lakh to Rs 35.49 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It was locally assembled from CKD kits.
New-Gen Kia Carnival Under Consideration
- Kia India showcased the facelift version of the 4th-gen Carnival at the 2023 Auto Expo dubbed as KA4. It was bigger in size and boasted a completely revamped design and a new set of features, including the ADAS suite.
- Currently, it is still being evaluated for potential launch in India.
In other news, Kia India is all set to unveil the facelifted Seltos on July 4, 2023.
