Kia Carnival Hi Limousine Shines at Auto Expo 2025

Kia made a splash at Auto Expo 2025 with the stunning Carnival Hi Limousine, showcased alongside the debuting Syros and the updated EV6. This special version of the Carnival is Kia India's way of gathering feedback for a potential launch.

A Closer Look at the Kia Carnival Hi Limousine

The Carnival Hi Limousine, crafted specifically for the Auto Expo, introduces a luxurious twist to Kia’s popular MPV. Although the Hi Limousine variant has been available internationally, the latest generation has yet to see this version—making India the first market to preview it as a concept.

The standout feature of this model is its extended roof, setting it apart from the standard Carnival. The taller roof enhances comfort for passengers in the second and third rows, while allowing for an array of premium features. These include:

• Starlight-inspired ambient lighting on the ceiling.
• A massive 25.7-inch Android TV for entertainment.
• Woodgrain accents and a wood-patterned floor for a sophisticated interior.
• Special suede-like materials for the headliner, sun visors, and pillars.
• Plush seats with neck cushions for added comfort.
• Side steps and a sleek black pearl exterior finish for a refined look.

Performance Remains Unchanged

Under the hood, the Carnival Hi Limousine retains the reliable 2.2-liter diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. There are no mechanical upgrades, keeping its performance on par with the standard Carnival.

The Carnival Hi Limousine is a perfect blend of innovation and luxury, designed to turn heads and deliver unmatched comfort.
