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.
Toyota Fortuner Legender
- Better design: It has a more stylish and more modern design compared to the standard Fortuner
- Drive convenience: Gives you the option of an automatic transmission with diesel 4X4
- Longitivity: Comes with a rough and tough build quality which will last a long time

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.
Toyota Fortuner Legender
- Too expensive: The price premium you pay for mostly cosmetic updates over the standard Fortuner feels high
- Less powertrain options: Does not come with the petrol engine option
- For its price, it does not come with the 11-speaker sound system you get in the standard Fortuner
