In this video, Kia showcases an extensive list of features and details of the next-gen Kia Carnival for the international market. The Carnival is a premium MPV that is sold in India in its 3rd-generation avatar. The video features the fourth-gen model. The premium MPV market is not huge in India and the SUVs of Kia are contributing almost entirely to the monthly sales figures. Nevertheless, a lot of people are attracted to the Toyota Innova Crysta MPV but are not willing to upgrade to something like a Kia Carnival. It is intended more towards the business people who want the car to turn into a conference room from time to time. Or for the large families who always like to travel together on long journeys. Let us take a look at the features offered in the all-new Kia Carnival.
