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.
Volvo EX40
- Classy and understated styling
- Top-notch interior quality
- Loaded with comfort, convenience and safety features
- Hair-raising performance makes it a delight to drive

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.
Volvo EX40
- ADAS features can be tricky to operate in Indian traffic conditions
- Spare tyre eats into usable boot space
- Segment-above petrol-powered options available at a similar price
