The minimalist cabin now features dual 12.3-inch displays for the touchscreen infotainment system and instrument panel, smart powered sliding doors, two split sunroof, and Level 2 autonomy with 23 functions.

Internationally, there are three interior colour themes, such as taupe, navy grey, and cotton beige.
2024 Kia Carnival Design
The new Carnival features an upmarket design and SUV-ish body style. Its overall design matches to that of the newer Kia models. There are new and big L-shaped daytime driving lights, a large grille, a full length light bar at the back, and vertically stacked headlights. Also on offer are new 18-inch alloy wheels.
2024 Kia Carnival Engine Specifications
Powering the new Carnival is a 3.5-litre V6 petrol producing 287PS and 353Nm of torque, a 2.2-litre diesel with 200PS and 440Nm, and a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid powertrain that delivers 242PS and 367Nm. The India-spec model could get the hybrid or diesel powertrain. In fact, the previous generation Carnival had the same 2.2-litre, four-cylinder, diesel engine that delivers 200PS and 440Nm of torque.
2024 Kia Carnival Rivals
