On Monday, March 29, as part of an online presentation, the Korean automaker KIA announced the start of official sales of its new Carnival minivan in the Russian market. The fourth generation of KIA Carnival for Russia is produced at the Avtotor car assembly plant in Kaliningrad. True, we are not talking about full-cycle production, but about SKD-kits.
The start of sales of KIA Carnival in Russia is scheduled for April 14. But official prices for the car have already been announced. They start at 2.6 million rubles for the basic “Comfort” package with a 2.2-liter turbo engine and reach 3.6 million for the top-end version “Premium +” with a 3.5-liter gasoline engine. In all cases, an eight-speed automatic works in conjunction with the engine.



The new generation of KIA Carnival is built on the Sorento platform, but it is produced only with front-wheel drive and has three rows of seats, even in the basic configuration. The basic version, called “Comfort”, meets an eight-seater saloon, airbags in the amount of seven pieces, air conditioning in the front and rear, a multimedia system with an 8-inch display on the center console. There is also cruise control, heated front seats and heated glass, 17-inch wheels, LED optics, a rear-view camera and parking sensors. More expensive trim levels offer three-zone climate control, heated steering wheel, roof rails, leather upholstery with wood-like inserts, an outlet, 18-inch wheels, enhanced noise insulation, sunroofs, Bose audio system and seat ventilation.
