The mid and top-spec variant comes with 6-airbags
Safety and After Sales Service – Kia has equipped the Carnival with 2 airbags for the base model and 6 airbags for the middle and top-end variant. The company has ensured a good safety kit with the Carnival as it offers ABS, EBD, ESC, hill-start assist and other electronic aids. In a short span, Kia has worked well on its dealer and after-sales network. Moreover, Kia has the reliability record which is at par with the Japanese car brands.

The Kia Carnival seems like a value-for-money MPV
Verdict – Kia claims to offer 20 unique features with the Carnival that makes it a great buy. It also claims to have created an entirely new segment placing the MPV between the Toyota Innova Crysta and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. Though the company is yet to reveal the prices for the 3 variants, we expect the top of the line Limousine trim to cost somewhere between Rs. 35 lakhs, on-road Mumbai. Yes, it’s not very easy on the pocket, but it delivers for every penny it asks for.
