Kia has unveiled the features and specifications of the new-generation Kia Carnival in Korea. This luxury people-mover will come with three engine options and three seating configurations. Pre-orders have already begun internationally, with an expected launch in India next year.

The updated Carnival features a redesigned exterior with highlights such as a revised front fascia with 'Star Map Signature lighting,' a tiger-nose patterned grille, LED headlamps with extended LED DRLs, updated front and rear bumpers, LED taillights with a connected light bar, and new alloy wheels.

The new Carnival comes with six different exterior paint schemes to choose from: Ivory Silver, Snow White Pearl, Astra Blue, Pantera Metal, Aurora Black Pearl, and Ceramic Silver. Three distinct themes—taupe, navy gray, and cotton beige—can be chosen for the interior.

The new Carnival comes with an array of features, including a twin-display setup with two 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and the instrument panel, a head-up display, OTA updates, Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) along with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite, and eight airbags. Other amenities include an air purifier, wireless charger, ambient lighting, driver’s Ergo Motion seat, digital interior rearview mirror (IRVM), multi-zone climate control, and a rear entertainment package with a 14.6-inch HD screen. Depending on the variant, the Carnival can be configured with three seating options: four-seater, seven-seater, and nine-seater layouts.

Three different powertrain options are available under the hood of the 2019 Carnival: a new 1.6-liter turbo hybrid engine, a 2.2-liter diesel engine, and a 3.5-liter gasoline engine. Advanced technologies including E-Handling, E-Ride, and E-Evasive Handling Assist are included with the hybrid engine.
