India-bound Kia Carnival facelift unveiled

The Carnival facelift will be offered with a new 1.6L petrol hybrid powertrain.

Kia has taken the wraps off the Carnival facelift. The MPV gets refreshed looks and updated powertrains and is expected to be launched in India sometime next year.

The Carnival facelift is based on the KA4 MPV that was showcased at Auto Expo 2023. On the outside, the updated model receives several design changes, including a bolder-looking front section. It has a wide grille flanked by vertical LED headlamps and L-shaped LED daytime running lights.

At the rear, the Carnival gets L-shaped LED tail lights connected by an LED light bar, and it rides on new dual-tone alloy wheels. Kia is yet to reveal the interior of the new Carnival.

The Carnival facelift comes with two petrol and one diesel engine options. These include a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid, a 3.5-litre V6 petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel.
