Kia has set the stage for launching its next vehicle, the Carnival Hi Limousine, at Auto Expo 2025. The Hi Limousine's ultra-luxurious cabin and chauffeur-driven focus differentiate it from a Carnival MPV. Targeting comfort and exclusivity, this high-roof, four-seater MPV with a set design is significantly poised as a guest car.
The Carnival Hi Limousine is one of South Korea's and Singapore's favorite cars. It competes with the Toyota Vellfire. In India, the SUV offers world-class luxury and is a good deal for those looking for premium MPVs.
Plush Interiors and Premium Features
In addition to seats, there is a carnival Hi Limousine offering seating. Inside the Car, the seats have an exclusive lacquer leather finish from Nappa. Plush captain's chairs with several options for moving around and extended legs in the second row are on board. Side tables and a touch-screen remote are also available. The remote allows passengers to control air conditioning, cabin lights, curtains, and even the 21.5-inch LED TV mounted on the roof.
Other comfort features include a foot massager jointly developed with health tech firm Hu-Tech, heated/cooled cupholders, and a console with a wireless charging pad.
Some storage spaces have a shoe compartment and a heated/cooled beverage cabinet to make the cabin convenient for the mounted hanger, and underfloor storage adds to enhance without compromising on luxury.
Exterior Design Enhancements
The Carnival Hi Limousine stands out from the rest because of its additional exterior chrome accents, alloy wheels, and side steps. These features make it much easier for passengers to exit the vehicle, illustrating its premium character.
Powertrain and Ride Quality
The Carnival Hi Limousine is powered by a 3.5-litre Smartstream V6 gasoline engine that pumps 290 horses and 355Nm of torque under the hood. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Kia recognizes that any luxury platform has riders who expect something more than what the traditional fare offers, so it re-set the suspension infinitesimal yet crucially to give the best smooth ride for this iteration of Carnival.
India Launch Plans
Most importantly, the Kia Carnival Hi Limousine has been considered for an Indian launch, but it is a show-slideshow-election contender for Expo 2025. The model is an exercise to test consumer interest, and the decision to launch will depend upon the feedback received in the evaluation.
Being a luxury, high-end features and power-packed performance combination, the Kia Carnival Hi Limousine may set the new standards of the premium MPV segment in India and make it one of the most awaited entries into the market.
