The new Kia Carnival
The inverted L-shaped daytime running lights extend at the front mark
As a facelifted version, the new Kia Carnival follows the design style of the mid-facelift version of the fourth-generation model, using the latest design language of Kia Motors, with a longitudinal layout headlight cluster similar to EV9 on the front face, inverted L-shaped daytime running lights extending at the front logo, and a dot matrix styling style inside the front grille.
The position of the rear license plate frame has been lowered
The new Carnival tail light clusters are vertically arranged, with an inverted L-shaped structure that echoes the shape of the headlights. In addition, the position of the rear license plate frame of the new car has been lowered. For reference, the new Carnival Korean model has a length, width and height of 5155/1995/1775 mm and a wheelbase of 3090 mm.
The interior of the new Kia Carnival
Floating all-in-one screen
The interior of the new Carnival has not changed much, continuing to use a floating integrated screen and a knob shift mechanism. In terms of details, the "double flash" switch and blue trim strip are integrated in the center of the continuous air vent. It is reported that the new Jiahua also provides front center airbags, streaming media rearview mirrors, blind spot monitoring, automatic wipers, and a head-up display system.

Gasoline/diesel versions are available
The new Carnival is available in Australia with a choice of a 3.5-litre V6 petrol naturally aspirated engine or a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine. In contrast, the domestic Jiahua is equipped with a 2.0T engine and the transmission system is mated to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
In the domestic market, the price range of the fourth-generation model of the Jiahua on sale is 289,900-340,900 yuan, and there is no domestic news about the new Jiahua. Of course, in the same price range, you can also buy models such as Buick GL8 and Toyota Sena.
