- The Toyota Innova may rule the MPV roost, but if you want a more luxurious MPV, it's a long stretch to the Mercedes-Benz V-class. Kia has identified this gap in the market and will soon launch the Kia Carnival. What can you expect from this big people mover? Renuka Kirpalani tells you just that.

Viewers! What do you think about the Kia Carnival? Is it worth a premium over the Toyota Innova? And could it be the MPV that finally dethrones it? Let us know in the comments. #TeamAutocar
Impressed with it ♥️😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙
price the limo version below 30 l and I am sold 😁
Anytime it outclasses innova,kia is doing a great work in india and many other companies from korea I wish we had the same technologies and companies like these chinese/U.S./japanese/korean for more opportunities in automotive industry😕
With a slight increase in height and length you could have a real limousine with comfortable seating in second and third row.
Kia nailed it with carnival
hope it sell like hot cake like seltos
Price ane do iska..
This is definitely a higher segment than innova...such a complete car but have to see how a monocoque chasis works out for this class of vehicle
WOW! Great looking through.
What are monocoque chasis??
saurabh @ yes but Toyota engine is unique . By feature it’s higher model but doubt on efficiency to prove on Indian territory
@@JaspreetSingh-hf3rz Innova is a body on frame type of construction, it means the car's body is on a frame type chassis. It makes the car very tough but it's not as as stable as a monocoque which is a the body of the car and the frame of the car integrated into one solid piece monocoques are more stable and have less body roll
The monocoque chassis fails to impress
I'm disappointed by Indian car makers,why can't they read Indian consumers mind like kia do 🙏
Tata is coming up with Gravitas which will be launched this year
Because we don't spend on the R and D.
Unknown D true I understand that point dear bcoz in Indian car maker giving good things in abroad & from making from India only
Go and check Toyota vellfire.
Then edit your comment
It's good
But the best is TOYOTA VELLFIRE
Now there is someone who thinks smart. While everyone was competing for a segment below Innova, KIA saw the whole vacant space above it. Now we have to see if it worked for them. The vehicle is definitely looks good.
but its very costly
While everyone was competing for a segment below Innova, KIA saw the whole vacant space above it.
Cant agree more!
I agree with all other than looks....it could have a better design
Whole trend changing...family like go vaction more often then before times..carnival is a definite answer for that.... I was looking for Kia Telluride...a power horse from Kia, but after seeing...carnival.... Choose between power drive or family drive..😃😃
9 seat configuration is just phenomenal, Kia managed to put in those 9 seats so well. Not to forget @ 06:35 the novel idea of stand up 2nd row seats in 7 seater trim for easy ingress and egress. 🔥
ajaykumar konkati 9 way seats is terrible my Range Rover has 20 way adjustable seats
I've actually driven this car love it 😍😘, we went on a trip with the friends here in Aus, It's very easy to drive. Lots of features, love to see this car coming to India. Great job Kia.
Since I'm living in South Korea & CARNIVAL is the most common SUV/MPV there, Koreans get surprised if they got to know that we are doing review on it!! Still Kudos to this Carnival 😊
SHAYANT NANDI the Innova is the most common here and we still review it. 🤷🏽♂️
Driven it in Australia for 1600km...One of the best people movers, which allowed all the passengers in the vehicle feel at home on every single mile.🤩
Ha ha
How many seater car you have
Same I also drived this in melbourne .....its a great vehicle....too much comfortable than innova
@@Anonymous-nq2ku your English is pathetic
Finally a worthy opponent for Toyota Innova.
How ?
Better than Innova
This is the review for the top end variant of this car which might be much more expensive than top end innova
Nah.
It's more expensive than Innova
"Power Goes Solely to the Front Wheels" 11:04 You lost prospective customers in J&K, Uttarakhand, Himachal and the Northeast there Kia.
That’s true. But MUVs seldom have 4*4 configuration like a German wagon.
Tata hexa has four by four
@@tourstravelsvlogs6908 Please read my reply to Ashvin
Tata hexa 4X4 is the answer ..bro ..
Front whrel drive 😂😂😂
KIA tuney KYA KIA 😂😂😂😂
Will the rear doors open quickly in case of an emergency and passengers need to get out quickly?
This is how you make a good looking MUV
This car looks clean... Love it.
5 years to go to see where they grow as Toyota or end like chevy
They are crushing Toyota and Jeep market
They will grow as they are bkoreans
Purchased Kia Sorento 7 years back with the same engine of carnival and still going smoothly ...
After a decade of supreme dominance Innova finally met a superior competitor. Such a perfect very well thought out design kia carnival is! Kudos KIA! you have certainly outdone yourself.
Love it what KIA does in India its really rocking
This is a game changer.
Well-done Kia....
Do
I hope kia doesnt get carried away and price it high. 27-35 ex-showroom sounds high. 28-37 on road or 23-31 ex showroom is the ideal price. Atleast introductory..
Also please realise it misses out on lots of features compared to international model, like memory drivers seats, electric adj passenger seats, 360 camera, ventillated passenger seats, larger touchscreen, certain autonomic aids and so on. So, all those features cutting i hope is because of a competitive price tag..
It will be priced above Innova for sure and considering how much the crysta sells carnival should perform well for Kia .
It's a direct competitor of the Chrysler Pacifica in the US. I was wondering when India will get cars in this segment. Innova performing so well WITHOUT all those features I guessed a car WITH all these features will definitely increase the base price since Innova itself start upwards 22lacs. With all those features at that price I think it's a bargain.
37 lakhs is too much for this car. Nobody would spend 37 lakhs on a MPV. Anyone spending that kind of money would prefer a big SUV
amey karade innova showroom price for topend model is 23. Thats where im hoping kia will start off.
Agreed its a larger and more luxurious car, but Innova is grossly overpriced to start with. We dont need to encourage kia to do the same, just because innova is doing well.
If all this features included the on-road price will be much more....may be this is the reason
Now Toyota will taste the competition, KIA will come up.
Lol Toyota Hiace is coming
Toyota must comeup with other cars apart from innova nd fortuner like Rav 4 yaris Rush
It has already tasted with Tata hexa.
@@HarshaVardhan-fw3vs Tata hexa is a flop boy
First time Iam seeing a woman making review on Cars......
Carnival and Review both are amazing
Pricing is the key.
Might even give Fortuner or an endeavour a run for their money. Even though it’s a mpv
@@wphostadvice he said that they both are different segments already.. Read the comment right
JP Rahul I own a seltos and I was invited for the launch at a dealership
Top variant is around 35L on road
No dude endeavour and fortuner have a different buyer base
Yes.. 95% of the owners.of endeavour and fortuned don't use them for off road purposes ..they are buying it for size and looks ...those people will change to carnival. The 5% off roaders base ...they always need 4X4 SUV they won't come here.
Time for the monster "Toyota Alphard" to rule Indian Roads. Carnival will eat the innova just like tasty pie
Wait until your Carnival clocks just 50-60K kilometers and see a mountain of maintenance issues. Nothing comes close to Toyota when it's the matter of safety , durability and reliability.
Alphard 90lac carnival 30lac huge difference toyota innova RIP in advance
Mihir Sawant KIA is also known for its reliability in the global market offering the highest 7 years of warranty making it one of the most reliable cars in the global market
Sienna is more worthy
@@mihirsawant1316 kia is same as hyundai. You can see any old santro or accent with 2lakh km+ running fine. Toyota's handling is like a truck
This one is KIA Sedona here in the US and it’s a pretty decent car here. I actually like Kia cars in the US for their value for money and the warranty they give. This one will surely give a tough competition to Innova.
It is a bliss to see Renuka review the cars. Please do more reviews. Autocars reviews are incomplete without your reviews.
KIA with more common sense than any other car company, they are unique in every product. A new entrant to India, but rocking at every product they make. Other car companies should learn a lot
Already booked 😁😁
Congratulations
What's the on road price?
Bhai Party kab De raha hai...Glenfiddich se nicche kuch nahi chalega bol deta hu!!!
Lets go for a ride
congratulations
Instead of the 2 seater in the middle it could be a 4 seater sofa. But yeah it's very luxurious as a 2 seater.
4seat middle row varient also available brotherr
9 seater😵😵😵 IMAO...😅😅
So it's a mini- bus
Search Hyundai Grand Starrex.
It is an option idiot.
A 200ps mini-bus. I wouldnt call it a bus at all considering that it's faster than an fortuner, pajero or any other sub 30lakh car out there.
How it ia 9 seater
7
KIA stike the chord !! This car gonna sale like cake if it priced right.
I don't think Indians like cakes.
It's really a carnival when renuka is reviewing it 🥰 it has been a long wait mam😊☺️
For Indians - isme sab bdhiya he par resell value Ertiga ki acchi he😅
😂😂
I do 😂
Hope Carnival teaches Innova a lesson as they have doubled the price of Innova due to no competition..
Yes.... innova rates will be down.... more over new innova crysta user complaints on jerks
I think it will do well or even replace the Innova in commercial/tourist vehicle segment but for private use i don’t think it will replace/challenge the innova coz
1. Sliding doors, coz sliding door usually relates to commercial/tourist used vehicles .
2. If it will cost 35 lacs max then it falls right into fortuner and endeavour territory afa the price is concern and those two r hard to beat at that price point.
3. Looks , innova looks much better than carnival and in our country looks matters.
Why there is no 360 degree camera for this car....smart watch control was fine but in place of that 360 camera you would have given....
It’s a great MPV definitely a class above the Innova really enjoyed driving it. This review has 1.7 million views that’s amazing must be a auto car india record
KIA has been an instant hit in India. They understood what Indian passengers need and they are willing to spend big.
Hopefully India will get Nissan Elgrand, Honda Odyssey, Toyota GranAce, Mitsubishi Delica, Volkswagen Caravelle T6 in the future to compete with Toyota Vellfire, Mercedes Benz V Class and, Kia Carnival.
Instead we can shift outside bro to US😂😂
Duude India doesn't want so many MPVs
This will be the perfect car to upgrade from our current Innova. Though I'm a bit pissed with the fact that KIA didn't give us all the bells and whistles here in India but then again this car hasn't been officially launched so here's hoping that we get most of the features that international customers get like ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, memory seats and more. Kia shouldn't skimp on features to reduce the price because anyone shopping for cars above 20L will not be hesitant to spend a few lakhs more for a well kitted car.
Perfect competition for innova..
Nice car.... Well done kia👌👌👍
I think the reason Kia haven't announced the prices yet is because it probably is not going to be really competitive. It is a fact that the segment just above the Innova/Marazzo/Hexa was vacant and Kia did a great job in levelling it up. But this can also pave way for the same Innova/Marazzo/Hexa lineup to come forward with a premium version of theirs to compete with Kia. And that is the war which Kia has to look forward to win. IMO, the Innova (and Hexa 4x4) is still the sweet spot between too big and too small. Plus the fact that it is rear wheel drive and it is a Toyota.
Front head lamp nd grill little bit looks like GENESIS
obviously, Kia is part of the Hyundai and Carnival is considered to be a luxury offering,so they copied Genesis design
We can only wish for Genesis here in India 🙊
That is a good thing then
@@jayakrishnancp8848 yes
Carnival was there before Genesis and don't compare carnival with it.
Genesis is uber Luxury.
Why is almost everyone comparing this Kia to the Toyota Innova ? I don't understand, those cars are absolutely not in the same category...
Kia is love, booked this over innova with worthy price , better than vellfire as well
Really respect Kia vehicles. My Seltos saved my life.
2.2L Diesel Engine with 200 PS and 440 Nm Torque
The lightweight and powerful engine churns out 200 PS maximum power and 440Nm maximum torque in addition to being BS6 compliant.
8-Speed Sportsmatic Transmission
Superior driving, dynamic performance and advanced precision come together perfectly with the 8-Speed Sportsmatic Transmission of the Kia Carnival.
Great launch.. Carnival Limousine (the top variant) is really exciting me.. But for such a big vehicle, the 360-view camera shouldn't have been left out, a feature offered in the Carnival/Sedona globally.. Also, why is the seat ventilation missed out in the passenger front seat? Kia should add these features, especially in the top-end Limousine vatiant, as people won't mind that much extra price for the same..
If used as a commercial vehicle or as a personal family mover on hilly roads, the front wheel drive won't be a very nice thing to have. With all the load behind the front wheel will tend to free spin. As compared, the rear wheel drives push the vehicle nicely. Experienced this myself so not a hypothetical statement.
By the way what is the weight of the engine, because that will answer my question quite easily.
In 20 lack budget, which 7 seater Car will be best suitable for family purpose?
Mahindra Marazzo for features or Innova Crysta base model for reliability. Mg hector 6 seater (upcoming) will also be a good choice.
Tata hexa
Carnival next segment leader😘😘😘
Carnival India mein kab launch hogi ?
The vehicle looks way ahead for all the comfort features in its segment. One Thing i thought is that for a car as big as this Parking In Indian Cities will be a huge headache. I didn't see 360 degree parking camera or Auto Park assist on the list.
Impressive car..
Looking at Seltos pricing, this wont be priced cheaper...
Makes the Innova look reasonable :)
Short and simple.. yes it is Innova killer...
Jisne Innova liya hoga voh Abhi voh ye car ko dekh k tension Mai agaya hoga😂
Looks like Kia did their market research properly..
Toyota is successful because of reliability of the Toyota engine. Kia certainly have more features but there is a long way to go for them. Competition is always good.
So you telling me that if a person has have 40 lakh to spend on a car ,he will not buy a merc or
bmw or jaguar or audi or
Endeavour or Fortuner or Land rover And instead will buy a 7 seater car which he will use for family trip of his 7 family members
Which will be happening once in a year
And for the rest of the year he will be staring at those empty seats everyday while going to work and think "aha i bought some practicality instead of some relatively non degrading brand value..!!"
Land rover, mercedes are quite expensive to maintain. fortuner and endavour are suv's. They also have 3rd row which will also feel emty. If you have joint family you need a bigger car. Just compare it with innova. Innova has reliability plus point and rest everthing goes to kia
Someone like me would. No car is degrading if you can find a use for it. That's a very limiting mindset to have. And yes, I would rather have the functionality and practicality to do family engagements at a whim than invest in a better engine that i will never get to use unless on highways, and then have to rent cars for family engagements
Top end is around 32-35...You get a more powerful engine in this...you get more space...more features...its a personal choice if you wanna flex in a bmw or audi and pay 30-40k maintenance a month...or rather have a powerful engine n still have decent mileage yet have less maintenance..this decision is really what an individual wants...expensive taste or being practical...also when repairing costs come into consideration that's also a problem...luxury cars would cost 3 times...insurance would be relatively high...depreciation would be higher...buying a top end model of a mid range company is better than buying a base model of a luxury company...
I respect your views.
And yes personal perspective matters the most
The basic landrover starts at 60 lakh on road, the basic mercedes, bmw at about 48/50 lakh on road, 40 lakh may not even fetch you an endeavour (on road). Just saying
Features like 360 parking camera, Memory function driver's seat, co driver's ventilated seats, electrically adjustable v.i.p seats, bigger 10.5 inch infotainment screen should have been added as it's a premium mpv.
Dude it already got 2 sunroof, 200bhp engine , those middle seats,climate control,curtain airbag and other feature. They can't give everything in it because of its pricing. Especially in india where price matters a lot
Is it a better performer in comparison to innova? Power, handling, body roll etc...
It is sold as Kia Sedona in the US which is equipped with a 3.3 litre V6 engine putting out more horsepower and torque for much less price. Honda odyssey and Toyota Sienna leads the MPV segment in the US by providing more passenger as well as storage space compared to the Sedona/Carnival.
Apart from the features between innova and carnival. Carnival wins. But what about performance and suspension as new innova gets better suspension in 2021. Which one to choose? I prefer cruise most of the times. Innova around 30 L. Whereas carnival prestige 35L is it really worth-able of paying 5 L for carnival. Features i get all better compare to innova. But ride quality, Suspension, Durability of engine. Can you please suggest.
Good job kia guys...good job...finally someone who acknowledgea what Indian people want most
Brilliant design by Kia...well done👏🏻
I am looking car with 7 seater and latest technology with sun roof etc ... I would prefer diesel engine, maintenance should be cheap .. milage should be above 15.
And my budget around 14 lakh.
Please suggest me which car is good?
Are the rear doors Pinch protected??
V yes
Yes boss
It looks small in the video ,but it is really huge.
And the back seats were comfortable for my kids
The resopnse of the engine is little bit slow sometimes but it has a powerful engine when compared with other MPV'S
it was 27.5 lakhs , at this price its ok to buy for a family of 4 or 5 (if you can spend the money)
This shoot is done in Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad.
Kk
Old innova was good in performance but new innova crystal user complaints mainly on jerks ..... KIA eyeing on this to grab major portion in this segment
I am amazed with Kia,s imagining power
I just wonder the kind of luxury customization companies like DC would do to further enhance the opulence. Carnival seems to be a great project for them.
Kia is really bringing cars with simple yet modern n clean looks with needful facilities at comparatively competitive pricing.
How many price of this car any budy please tell me?
For the nine seater what is the point of the boot... There is no boot per say... How does one travel with full family??
With that many seating options it might be a very good commercial vehicle for cab operators in India
KIA Carnival is just massive in proportions and is fully loaded. This company has just entered the Indian market and has got such a name in manufacturing good and slightly affordable cars with luxury features in it.
But it is an offset for the Indian car companies like Tata which should now start manufacturing of fully loaded cars with premium features in it and still make it affordable for Indian consumers.
While it’s good, it’s really not going to shake the market here in US when it launches in 2021 October. The days of MPV are gone. Consumers would rather have a 8 seat Full Size SUV. It will meet the same fate in India. It’s best for rentals and hotels/travel agencies
Does it or any other car in India offer wireless Apple CarPlay?
what stops me from buying this is the front infotainment small screen. Wish it was bigger for gps etc, is it a touch screen?
Very popular family van in middle east
is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive
I ll buy this one after 11 or 12 years later for sure.
Been following KIA since a long time (Australian Open). Saw the review of 2020 model 5-6 months ago on an official Canada/UK channel, the showroom guy gave an extensive review. Knew Carnival was coming at the end of 2019 then & an article had speculated it may undercut Innova but i was expecting the pricing at least to be same as Innova are may be 1lac more, but the onroad price for this will be arnd 28-29lakhs, which overshoots my budget by quite an amount.
The length of the car will make it mostly to be used for Long distance travel. I'm pretty confused now whether this car is worth the investment? It's an excellent car, been waiting for the India launch. I'll prolly wait for PSA group & the new Chinese company which will be entering the market in sometime & see what will they offer in MPV's.
What's the ground clearance?
What is the on-road price of Kia Carnival Premium in Mumbai
Now that's innovative. I hate it when car companies increase the price Y-O-Y just by making small changes which the regulator wants.
Does it has ventilated seats ?
Finally family minivan arrives to India. Thnx Kia. Carnival makes Innova look wayyy too outdated and tin box. Carnival definitely stand tallest among competitors. Well done Kia!!!!!
i love the way you shoot the video the information you provide about the vehicle is absolutely uptomark good job
whatta ! Carnival.!!! Awesome MUV. This is gonna be a toyota killer. This is called a premium experience with the premium host Renuka Kriplani 🧡
Which type of automatic gearbox is this (dct, auto or cvt)
Its i think 8 speed torque converter...
Cvt is better for Indian conditions
Dct gearbox using
8 speed sportsmatic
Toyota Innova is worthless for its price when compared to Kia carnival.
but Toyota & Honda provide the best engines
@@tintutomy Kia has a co ordination with Hyundai which with my personal experience has excellent engine.
Its an amazing mpv Kia carnival more features more comfortable & many more... I think other same segment vehicles will go home...
What about TELURIDE ...
Is it going to be launched in india ?
Ppl say car sales are down.. But this video is trending number 10 😅
Excellent review, excellent family car. We have Sedona in South Africa nothing like it
Outside design looks 70% Toyota Innova + 30% Toyota fortuner
Otherwise inside was spacious compare to others,
We need head room,leg room and last row has decent amount of leg room,why car companies don't consider this point???
Great review ma'am. Now it's only a matter of wide and accessible service centers,and the carnival will rule over Innova.
When this car is going to launch in India ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In Limousine variant if the 3rd row is as the 2nd row captain seats then his car will be the best ever perfect luxury limousine. But now it seems to be a normal long modified van........
whats the millage
