Kia India has officially started delivering its all-new Kia Carnival, and the first lucky owner is none other than former Indian cricketer and CSK star, Suresh Raina.
Raina took delivery of his Carnival Limousine+ in a stunning Glacier White Pearl color from Jayanti Kia, a dealership in Delhi/Noida.
Jayanti Kia expressed their pride in delivering India’s first Carnival to Raina, thanking him for his trust in their dealership.
In a video shared online, Raina is seen unveiling his new ride and shaking hands with the dealership staff. Fans poured in their congratulations, with one even asking who would be riding in his new Carnival. Raina playfully replied, “me and kids,” while another fan added his wife to the list.
The Kia Carnival, priced at Rs 63.9 lakh (ex-showroom), is known for its luxurious space and comfort, making it a perfect choice for celebrities like Raina. The latest model comes with significant upgrades, including a more SUV-like appearance, sleek inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, and Kia’s iconic black-and-chrome ‘tiger-nose’ grille. It also boasts new 19-inch wheels, powered gates, and LED headlights, giving it a fresh, sporty vibe.
Inside, the Carnival is packed with top-notch tech, featuring two 12.3-inch screens, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, and a luxurious second-row with ventilated seats and leg support. The MPV also comes with safety upgrades like ADAS, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and more.
Powered by the same 2.2-litre diesel engine, delivering 190 bhp and 440 Nm of torque, the Carnival continues to offer a smooth ride with its 8-speed automatic transmission.
With nearly 3,000 bookings already in place, the new Carnival is proving to be a hit among those seeking a premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle. Despite competition from Toyota Vellfire and Lexus LM, Kia’s Carnival remains the most value-for-money option.
