Kia Carnival highlights luxury features and viral custom design

The Kia Carnival continues to position itself as a premium luxury MPV, with the 2026 model in India focusing on the Limousine Plus variant. This diesel-powered model features a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine producing approximately 190 hp and 441 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Key specifications include a 2+2+3 seating layout, Level 2 ADAS safety technology, and Kia Connect features.

Separately, a customized Kia Carnival has gained significant social media attention after a user in Las Vegas applied a salmon pink wrap to mimic the aesthetic of a Volkswagen ID. Buzz. While the viral modification features a hybrid powertrain and specific interior changes available in the US market, the Indian version of the Carnival is distinct, offered exclusively as a diesel Limousine Plus variant.
