The new Kia Carnival is expected to be priced around Rs 50 lakh. It won't have a direct rival in our market, as the Hycross costs around Rs 30 lakh.
The new-gen Kia Carnival will be powered by a single 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine, which was available in the previous generation model. The powertrain churns out a maximum power output of 200bhp and a peak torque of 440Nm. Transmission duties will be handled by an 8-speed 'Sportsmatic' automatic gearbox.
