The Kia Carnival is available in 3 variants and 4 seating configurations. If you’re questioning which one is best for you, this is all the knowledge you should decide the appropriate one

The Carnival actually deserves to be the Kia flagship within the nation. After the success of the Seltos, it now raises the bar of expectations from the model. We lately drove the highest Limousine variant which comes completely within the 7-seater VIP configuration. You’ll be able to try our detailed first drive evaluate of the MPV right here or watch the video evaluate beneath. What we’ll let you know on this article is strictly how the seating configurations differ, and, additionally, what they’re like to make use of, individually. Lets have an in depth take a look at them one after the other.

Variant	Seating format accessible
Premium (base)	7 / 8-Seater
Status (mid)	7 / 9-Seater
Limousine (prime)	7-Seater VIP

Primary 7-Seater 

Variants: Premium (base) and Status (mid)

Accessible within the backside two variants, this 7-seater configuration comes with a 2+2+3 association. The center two passengers get comfy captain seats and the final row passengers get a bench. The captain seats on provide may have cloth upholstery within the base variant and synthetic leather-based upholstery within the mid variant. 

The captain seats are properly cushioned and cozy. Whereas they’re narrower than those on the highest Limousine variant, these are nonetheless huge sufficient to accommodate most frames. They’ll slide to open extra legroom and even recline to change into extra comfy. You get armrests and adjustable headrests as properly. These seats are even at top from the ground and therefore there may be ample underthigh assist too.

To get within the final row, Kia has engineered a really progressive answer. The center row seats do not fold or tumble. Moderately, they rise up and transfer ahead. This occurs with only a pull of a lever on the aspect of the seats. It opens up loads of room for the passengers to get in, making for a simple ingress and egress. 

This third row is presumably probably the most comfy third row we’ve ever sat in! It isn’t too low – which implies when you do sit knees up, the underthigh assist is just not absent. It is cushioned properly and you may recline it for extra consolation. All rear seat passengers get adjustable headrests and three-point seatbelts. And once more, it completely beats all different MPVs in India when it comes to cabin width. Three passengers (sure, adults), can get comfy right here. You even get cup holders on each side, your individual set of AC vents — and if you happen to select the mid Status variant, a 12V socket. 

The boot within the 7-seater configuration is lots huge and deep, and is rated at 540 litres (Innova will get 300 litres behind the third row). It could actually simply swallow medium-sized baggage and plane purse suitcases. The third row can fold down with a 60:40 cut up, opening extra room. The celebration trick, nevertheless, is the seats folding again into the boot, making a flat flooring, which opens up about 1624 litres of house! A lot for holidays and even enterprise use (you may match a washer right here!). 

8-Seater

Variant: Premium (base)

On this configuration, you may have a 2+3+3 association. The center row includes two captain seats with out their armrests. The house between them is crammed by a small seat which might be eliminated if required (with none instruments). This association creates a cushty bench to seat three, particularly contemplating the Carnival’s width. If you’re seating simply two right here, the center seat folds to change into a big armrest with cupholders. Leg, knee and headroom are ample for all heights. The third row and the boot are precisely the identical because the 7-seater. The seats fold up simply for ingress – similar to the 7-seater. 

9-Seater

Variant: Status (mid)

That is the variant that almost all potential prospects within the industrial house have their eyes glued on. It will get a 2+2+2+3 seating association. The second and third row get captain seats. These are usually not the identical seats as seen within the ones above. They’re smaller – each narrower and with a shorter seat base. They’re planted nearer to the bottom as properly, which compromises on underthigh assist. This reduces the consolation provided as in comparison with the opposite configurations. Nevertheless, standalone, they nonetheless provide an honest quantity of assist. The seats are wearing fake leather-based and do really feel premium. They’ll slide to open up extra room for the passengers as properly.

There may be sufficient house between the left and the appropriate seats to stroll in between. This makes stepping into numerous rows straightforward. Crucial half nevertheless is the final row. I’m 5’6” tall, and if I slide the second row for simply sufficient knee room, and do the identical for the third row as properly, I can nearly match within the final row. However this implies knee and leg room is compromised for all of the passengers. Fortunately, all of the seat rows help you tuck your ft beneath the seats forward, so you aren’t cramped. However even when one of many passengers is a 6-footer, you will not be capable of seat 4 passengers (adults) one behind the opposite. Additionally, the final row passenger is simply too near the rear windscreen, and can’t recline the backrest in any respect. And to name this a real 9-seater, you’ll have to seat 3 on the final row, which goes to be extraordinarily tight. In actual fact, we are able to name this a 9-seater provided that that features not less than 2 kids, or quick adults.  

There may be one other drawback with this 4-row seating. The final row leaves completely no room for baggage. Nevertheless, if you happen to fold the final row, it opens up a flat boot flooring and turns into a close to excellent 6-seat transporter.

7-Seater VIP

Variant: Limousine (prime)

If you’re in search of a private automobile, that is the place your coronary heart and eyes must be. Provided in a 7-seater format, the Limousine is the flagship variant of the Kia Carnival. The captain seats within the center row are large and tremendous comfy. The headrest, contouring and the armrest are all tasked with placing you to sleep. The cushioning is somewhat agency and the seats are wearing Nappa Leather-based. These seats can slide back and front to open extra legroom, in addition to aspect to aspect for higher ingress for the rear passengers. The best trick nevertheless is the legrest which unfolds from the seat base to make the seat extremely comfy. The one limitation is that even with the seats pushed all the best way again, you’ll be able to’t absolutely stretch your legs as they hit the entrance seats. However, they’re nonetheless the most effective second on provide at this worth. The third row and boot expertise is identical because the 8-seater.

How can it match 11 seats, and other people inside?

After opening the rear sliding door, the left 2nd-row seat might be moved for simpler entry to the third and fourth rows. The seat can slide and tilt ahead to provide ample room for individuals of any measurement to climb out and in. The middle of the second and third rows comprise a middle “help seat”. The help seat is one that may fold straight down, then be folded sideways up in opposition to the opposite seat. This creates a path within the middle of the seats for somebody to stroll previous into the rear seat rows. The help seats may even fold flat and change into a desk within the center for rear passengers.

All of the seats can slide ahead and again to verify everybody has sufficient room for his or her differently-sized legs. The fourth row might be folded utterly flat into the ground in order that it disappears. The rear cargo house is totally unavailable when the fourth row seats are upright. The second row can fold again flat when the seats are correctly organized and headrests are indifferent. These ones don’t go into the ground, they merely remodel into “relaxation mode” which appears to be for sleeping. Kia recommends avoiding driving whereas the rear seats are in relaxation mode. The third and fourth rows might be eliminated, and with the second row slid to the entrance, the cargo house is huge.
