Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase
- Looks sporty for a long-wheelbase, comfort-oriented sedan.
- New i-Drive 8 infotainment system is crisp and easy to use.
- 2-litre diesel engine offers good poke for both sedate and spirited driving.
- Has a good balance between ride and handling.
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.

BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase
- Missing essentials such as ADAS, 360-degree camera, sun blinds and ventilated front seats.
- The displays in the cabin get warm over prolonged usage.
- Low stance results in difficult ingress and egress for elderly occupants.
- Small boot due to the space-saver eating up space.
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.
