Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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.
Kia EV6
- Strong performance: The dual-motor AWD setup offers brisk acceleration and effortless overtaking, while still feeling smooth and easy to drive.
- Premium cabin experience: High-quality materials, comfortable seats with heating, ventilation and zero-gravity mode, and a feature-rich layout make the EV6 feel properly upmarket.
- Ultra-fast charging capability: Support for 350 kW DC fast charging means significantly reduced charging times compared to most rivals.
- Fully loaded variant: The single GT-Line AWD trim comes packed with features, safety tech and performance hardware, eliminating compromise.

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.
Kia EV6
- Expensive pricing: Being a CBU import makes the EV6 significantly costlier than some capable rivals.
- Rear seat comfort could be better: The knees-up seating position affects under-thigh support, especially on long journeys.
- Boot design isn’t very practical: While capacity is generous on paper, the shallow boot limits flexibility with larger luggage.
