Kia Carnival MPV Available with INR 2.11 Lakh Discount in India

Kia Carnival MPV was officially launched in India back at the Auto Expo in February 2020 with a starting price tag of INR 24.95 lakhs (ex-showroom). For reference, the Toyota Innova Crysta diesel-automatic costs INR 18.78-23.63 lakhs, which means Carnival is not a direct rival to Innova.
