2021 Kia Carnival: what’s new?
On the exterior, the 2021 Carnival gets Kia’s new logo which was revealed earlier this year, and all variants of the Carnival are also now equipped with 18-inch crystal cut alloy wheels.
Kia has introduced a new top-spec Limousine Plus variant to the Carnival’s line-up which is loaded with features like an 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, an electronic parking brake, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with seat ventilation, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, premium wood garnish inside, two 10.1-inch rear seat entertainment screens and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Kia has also revised the Limousine variant with a single 10.1-inch rear seat entertainment screen and an auto-dimming internal rear-view mirror.

Kia also stated that premium leatherette seats are now available on the Prestige, Limousine and Limousine Plus trims, with the latter two getting captain seats in the second-row with extendable leg support.
Other than that, the higher-spec Kia Carnival continues to feature LED projector headlamps, ice-cube LED fog lamps, a powered tailgate, a dual-pane sunroof, power-sliding doors, three-zone automatic climate control, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility and cruise control.
