Good Things	Premium people mover Spacious interiors Impressive ride quality	Excellent ride quality. Most-affordable in its segment. Spacious cabin.
Could be Better	Cumbersome to drive in city Unimpressive steering feel Brakes could do with more bite	Unfashionable exterior and interior design. Low on features. Engine lacks refinement.

Only Features doesn't support the car Safety Shud Be tho most priority!

If you are spending 30 Lakhs on the car at least u want the safety of level of 30 lakhs, not 3 Lakh! Totally disappointed on safety. Base model shud behave more safety features, for safety concern u have to buy higher variant, Features are not concerned it has all features which anyone wants but it's not right car according to the price.

Great

It's been a year since I bought the 4wd version of Isuzu MU-X. I am satiated by the car. I got a free five-year warranty, and the service is free of cost. The comfort level is amazing. Also, getting good power in this vehicle.Nice SUV best in driving, comfort , very good suspension . Worth in this cost I will suggest it to buy. If any one can buy new SUV . Better to buy it compare to any other SUV. Best in on road and off road drive. Maintenance cost very less. I drive it 500 km non stop and found it Excellent.

Kia Carnival real-world fuel efficiency figures revealed

By Ninad Ambre7 months ago

Kia Motors launched the Carnival in India to offer a luxurious yet practical MPV for our market. It's powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine with power rated at 197bhp and 440Nm of torque. This VGT motor comes mated to an eight-speed ‘sportsmatic’ transmission. Looking at this MPV's mammoth-like proportions, a prospective buyer knows he/she might not be able to duplicate its ARAI figures of 13.9kmpl in the real world. And, it's still quite understandable if one wants a good fuel economy from his/her vehicle with fuel costs rising again and again. For letting you know how much fuel economy the Kia Carnival gives in actual driving conditions, here's our report from its fuel efficiency tests.
