The premium limousine was recently updated by the Korean auto giant for the Indian market
The Kia Carnival Limousine has garnered immense interest from potential buyers with 400 deliveries already completed within the first two months. That is a huge number for a vehicle which costs a whopping Rs 63.90 lakh, ex-showroom. This time around the Korean car marque has taken the premium quotient to a whole new level. As a result, the opulent MPV has gathered 3,350 bookings and the waiting period is over 6 months. Available in just two colour options, the car has a balanced demand for both.
Kia Carnival Achieves 400 Deliveries
This is a special occasion for the Indian automobile market. On this occasion, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. VP and Head of Sales and Marketing at Kia remarked, “We are thrilled to announce that we have achieved the milestone of delivering 400 Kia Carnival Limousines to our esteemed customers within 2 months of delivery commencement. This milestone is a testament to the unwavering trust of our customers in the Kia brand. The Carnival has a rich legacy, and we were confident that its latest iteration, with its unparalleled blend of luxury, advanced technology, and premium features, would resonate with our discerning customers.“
