Kia Carnival: Party on wheels
India TodayThe Carnival is an MPV but with a contemporary and stylish design. A large rear overhang also adds for even more space on the inside as well as a standard split bench seat at the last row that can be folded flat inside a well at the rear means that there is plenty of boot space even if the rear-most bench seat is being used in the seven and eight seater variants. Kia Carnival FEATURES & EQUIPMENT Three-zone air-conditioning, dual sun-roofs, an in-built air-purifier, an 8-speaker 400W Harman-Kardon system are the highlights of an extensive features and equipment list. Kia Carnival ENGINE The Carnival is powered by a 2.2-litre BS6 compliant diesel engine that produces max power of 200bhp and peak torque of 440Nm that is available from a low 1,500rpm. Kia Carnival THE DRIVE EXPERIENCE We drove the car around Hyderabad and although the long Carnival is quite manoeuvrable in city traffic, what counts against it is its sheer size and low ground clearance.
