ManualKia is set to globally launch the Carnival MPV facelift later this year. Although the Carnival was discontinued in India last year, the South Korean carmaker is expected to bring it back due to them being spotted testing the MPV on Indian roads. While specifications for the global market may differ from what is offered in India. The 2025 Carnival is being offered with a 3.5-litre V6 GDI engine that generates 287 bhp, however, it is expected that this engine will not make its way to India. Kia is additionally introducing a new hybrid variant of the Carnival in the global market that derives 242 bhp of power from a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine mated to a 54 kWh battery.

While engine options are expected to carry over from the previous three-door model, spy shots suggest that Mahindra has updated the front and rear end design and has installed a new touchscreen infotainment unit. The manufacturer is further expected to provide options between steel, alloy, and diamond-cut wheels as well as including additional driver aids.
