Launched in October 2024, the new Kia Carnival Limousine has received an overwhelming response in India, amassing over 3350 bookings. The brand has now successfully delivered 400 units of this new MPV within two months of delivery commencement. Currently, the Carnival Limousine has a waiting period of roughly six months.
To jog your memory, Kia offers the new Carnival in a sole Limousine variant via the CBU route. It has been priced at Rs 63.90 lakh (ex-showroom), making it Rs 32.92 lakh more expensive than the top-spec variant of the Toyota Innova Hycross. It comes in a 7-seater configuration, featuring two caption seats in the 2nd row with ventilation and leg support. The other notable features of this Korean people mover include: –

Powering the 2024 Kia Carnival is a 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 192PS of max power and 441Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox that powers the front wheels of the car.
The Kia Carnival Limousine has a direct rival in the Indian market. It can be seen as an affordable alternative to the Toyota Vellfire.
