Kia Carnival Price in Tumkur

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.

The MPV segment is growing by the day, and surprisingly, every carmaker has a unique offering at different price points. The Kia Carnival is no different, as it appeals to a discerning set of buyers looking for a premium MPV to upgrade from the Toyota Innova Crysta. It is available in seven, eight and nine seating configurations with a single diesel powertrain. And for this road test, we’ve driven the top-spec Limousine trim that’s only available as a seven-seater. We have done an in-depth analysis of how the Carnival performs in the real world along with facts and figures. Read on!

Here's a quick recap of all the cars we reviewed at the start of this year.
