Through this scheme, Kia India could be looking at establishing that the Carnival has been well received here while establishing its faith in the product, for it to not be returned. It is also a stated objective to reach out to customers - existing and prospective - to offer facilities that stand apart from rival car makers. "Last month, we introduced our new brand purpose of inspiring consumers through products and services, and their experiences with the brand. The ‘Satisfaction Guarantee Scheme’ is the first step to bring this purpose to life and is designed to offer a differentiated Kia ownership experience to our customers," said Tae-Jin Park, Executive Director and CSBO at Kia India.

Carnival was first showcased in India at the Auto Expo held in February of 2020. It was launched soon after as Kia's second product here, after Seltos SUV. The The vehicle has sought to create a distinct place for itself in a rather sparse space of luxury MPVs. Offered in three exuberant trims – Premium, Prestige and Limousine with multiple seating configurations of seven, eight and even nine, Carnival has a 2.2-litre diesel engine under the hood.

The pricing for Carnival starts at 24.95 lakh (ex showroom) and while it can be a solid option for large families looking for a comfortable drive experience, the launch of more three-row seating models in the market may mean a lot of competition even if there's no direct rivalry as such.
