Now, as the kia launches its carnival earlier in 2020, hence the next generation model won't be available in India till 2022. This next generation Kia carnival navigates a Hi-Limousine variant. It will be e a premium variant of carnival with large roof, second row captain seats, pleated side cotton, mood lighting and reading lights. We can hope the next generation carnival in India by 2022.
