    Carnival Engine Specifications

    3.0Expert Rating
    |
    3.1User Rating (34)

    Positives:

    • It is powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 190bhp and 441Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
    • It offers smooth gear shifts and ample pulling power for both city and highway driving, ideal for long-distance cruising.
    • The three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – alter responses for either a more dynamic drive experience or improved fuel efficiency.
    • The light steering and well-judged handling make U-turns and high-speed driving easier.
    • The Kia Carnival has a comfortable ride quality and efficient soundproofing minimises noise within the cabin.

    Negatives:

    • This engine can feel underpowered at times, especially when fully loaded and driving up a steep incline.
    • We suspect the ground clearance may be low (with full load) on rough roads due to the underbody spare wheel placement.
    • Its fuel efficiency is lower than expected, with real-world numbers often under 10kmpl in city driving.

    Negatives:

    • The second-row passengers miss out on tray tables or personal rear screens, which are found in cars at a lower price point.
    • The seat adjustments can get confusing as the controls are found on either side of the second-row seats.

    • Kia Carnival Limousine Plus review
      No Value for Money. It's like kidding us. For this type of car, we can give a maximum of 45 lakhs on road price. Even though the exterior styling is appealing. The interior is still old & outdated. I still didn't understand what this car was trying to say to us in a huge price tag. Space is too much inside. We expected a good engine upgrade & waiting for the new generation carnival but they made us sad. Will try for a better option of value for money.

    • Best car in the market
      Super luxury car. Worth the price. Beats all Mercedes / BMW cars. Highly recommended. Eye catcher. All those complaining about the car being expensive have no experience. Finest car in the Indian market.

    • Should be manufactured in India
      No value for money. Should be manufactured in India and should be priced around 50L not more than that. On road price, many good options are there. After investing around 75L people prefer brand value. Can go for xc60 around 70L on the road

    • Pricing dosent make sense
      Absurd pricing would have won the market if the road had been around 50-55 lac, had booked, but canceled the booking. I don't know what the Kia team was thinking when they were pricing the car. Such a good car will flop due to pricing.
