Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi A4
- Looks classy with elegant body lines and an excellent quality control
- Powerful LED headlamps
- Premium quality interiors
- Excellent cabin practicality
- Engine refinement is among the best in class
- Ride comfort is brilliantly tuned for Indian road conditions
Kia Carnival
- Second-row VIP lounge seats with power recline, leg rests, and ventilation offer great comfort.
- The overall package is very much feature-loaded, with all the creature comforts covered.
- Accommodates up to 7 passengers comfortably, with ample legroom and headroom across all rows.
- Offers 540 litres of boot space even with all three rows up, suitable for long family trips.

Audi A4
- Has become expensive over time
- Some features should have now been included like ventilated seats and ADAS.
- Rear seat comfort feels is lacking due to the upright backrest
Kia Carnival
- Priced at Rs 63.91 lakh (ex-showroom), it may be out of reach for many potential buyers.
- Available only in the fully-loaded Limousine Plus variant, and only in 2 colour options, White and Black, restricting choices for customisation.
- Lacks a petrol or hybrid option in the Indian market, which could be a drawback for some buyers.
- The 2.2-litre diesel engine offers a claimed mileage of 14.85 kmpl, which might be less economical for city driving.
