Expert opinion and recommendation

The Kia Carnival Premium 8 is a standout in the Indian market for its unparalleled comfort, spaciousness, and luxurious features. While it has made significant strides in design, interior quality, and overall driving experience, the hefty price hike is a notable concern. The vehicle boasts a commanding presence with its futuristic design, ample space for up to eight passengers, and premium features like leather upholstery, ventilated seats, and reclining second-row captains chairs. The 2.2-litre diesel engine, though not the most powerful, provides sufficient power for a brisk pace and excellent fuel economy. However, the lack of tumble-down function for the middle seats and the increased engine noise are minor drawbacks. Overall, it delivers a business-class experience, but the price may deter some potential buyers.

The 2024 Kia Carnival stands out with its striking road presence, measuring 5,155 mm in length, 1,995 mm in width, and 1,775 mm in height. Its modern design language, including a wider grille and vertically stacked LED headlights, gives it an SUV-like appearance. The MPV also features massive sliding second doors and a unique quarter glass design. I believe this new design will appeal to those looking for a statement vehicle.

The 2024 Kia Carnival has been launched in India with a single fully-loaded Limousine Plus variant, priced at Rs 63.90 lakh. This premium MPV boasts a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 193PS and 440 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The new Carnival is 40mm longer and 10mm wider than its predecessor, with a wheelbase of 3,090mm. It features Level-2 ADAS, 360-degree cameras, dual-pane sunroof, and heated and ventilated seats for all rows. I think the extensive feature list justifies the premium pricing to some extent.
October 26, 2024
The interior of the 2024 Kia Carnival is significantly upgraded, featuring a new cabin design with brown leatherette fabric, improved fit and finish, and dual 12.3-inch displays. The MPV includes premium features such as heated and ventilated seats for the first and second rows, a 360-degree camera, and an 11-inch heads-up display. The third row is spacious with adjustable headrests and dedicated charging ports. I think the cabin experience is now more luxurious than ever.
October 22, 2024
The 2024 Kia Carnival offers exceptional space in all three rows and extensive boot space, even with all rows up. The boot space stands at 627 litres, and the loading lip is deep, though this can make loading heavy luggage challenging. The MPV also features a spare wheel placed underneath the second row. I believe this makes it ideal for long road trips.

The 2024 Kia Carnivals powertrain consists of a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 193PS and 440 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The MPV offers a smooth and effortless drive, capable of cruising at high speeds comfortably. It features four drive modes - Eco, Normal, Sport, and Smart - though it is best suited for calm drives rather than adrenaline-seeking expeditions. I believe the engine and transmission combo works well for its intended use.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Kia Carnival Premium 8 comes with a significant price tag, starting at Rs 63.9 lakh ex-showroom. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can easily exceed Rs 75 lakh. This price hike, compared to the previous model, feels excessive, especially considering the local assembly and the existing market dynamics. While Kia has positioned the Carnival as a luxury MPV, the price places it in a niche segment where buyers are willing to spend more for premium features and comfort. However, for many Indian customers, this price point may be a barrier, making it essential to weigh the value proposition against the cost.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Kia Carnival Premium 8 offers respectable mileage, with an ARAI-certified figure of 14.85 kmpl. In real-world conditions, you can expect around 10-11 kmpl, which is commendable given the vehicles size and luxury features. This makes it a viable option for those concerned about running costs, especially for long family trips or frequent use.
