Too expensive. Innova is better

Not worth that much, initially I booked it thinking it to be on par with Innova, when the pricing cane up was high disappointed it was more than the Toyota Fortuner or the Ford endeavour. Not worth

Tata Safari Red Dark Edition Review

Is the Red Dark Edition worth buying over the standard version of the Safari?

Kia Carnival real-world fuel efficiency figures revealed

By Ninad Ambre2 years 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.
