Kia has launched the facelifted Carnival MPV for the Indian market. While Kia will launch the facelifted MPV on October 3, the model is now open for bookings at a price of just Rs 2 lakh. As part of the facelift, the fourth-generation Kia Carnival gets a newly designed exterior, premium dashboard design, and additional features.
Firstly, the facelifted Kia Carnival gets a revised front end that features a larger tiger-nose grille and vertically stacked LED headlights with “star chart” LED running lights. While the new MPV retains the power sliding door feature from the previous generation, it features a set of redesigned 18-inch alloy wheels on the sides and connected LED taillights at the rear. The upcoming Carnival will be available in two trims (Limousine and Limousine Plus) and one seating configuration (7-seater) when it goes on sale.

The facelifted Kia Carnival is likely to enter our country through CBU (completely built vehicle), with plans to assemble it locally later. As a fully imported model, the facelifted MPV is likely to be priced between Rs 3.2 million and Rs 4 million (ex-factory). The new Carnival will not have direct competitors when it is launched, but it can serve as an alternative to the Toyota Innova Hycross.
