2024 KIA Carnival Interior
The interior of the upcoming Carnival closely resembles that of the current-generation Carnival available in the international market. The new facelift maintains a familiar dashboard layout. Notably, the dashboard now features a fresh dual-color treatment and adopts a dual-screen setup, incorporating a new touchscreen infotainment display and an updated instrument cluster. The design of the steering wheel remains largely unchanged. Another notable addition is the updated center console area, featuring new touch-based buttons and knobs.
While the brand has not yet disclosed the MPV's specific features, it is expected to offer a substantial array of amenities. In contrast to the extensive exterior design modifications, the changes within the cabin are relatively minimal.
2024 KIA Carnival Exterior
Regarding its exterior, the KIA Carnival showcases a fresh front-end design, which incorporates updates to the headlamp assembly. At the front, it adopts a new LED light bar and headlight arrangement inspired by the Seltos SUV. This design features long vertical LED lights harmoniously integrated with a redesigned front grille and an updated bumper. The new model exhibits a more boxy overall shape. The side profile sees revisions as well, with the introduction of new alloy wheels and a sliding rear gate. Although specific dimensions have not been released by KIA, we anticipate that they will remain largely unchanged. Moving to the rear, a set of new LED taillights and a connecting light bar enhance the vehicle's overall upmarket appearance. The incorporation of brushed aluminum inserts on the bumpers and C-pillars further elevates its premium aesthetic compared to its predecessor.

Verdict
KIA has not confirmed the arrival of the new-generation Carnival in India. However, should it be introduced in the Indian market, it is expected to garner a positive reception, similar to its predecessor. In such a scenario, it would compete with other premium MPVs available in India, including the Toyota Innova Hycross. The 2024 KIA Carnival is anticipated to make its debut in the Indian market around mid-2024.
