2022 Kia Carnival 2.2D 11-Seater

Dealers have announced that bookings for the locally-assembled (CKD Kulim) 2023 Kia Carnival 11-seater are now open, signalling that the model's official launch should be happening sometime soon. Some of them have even given it a preliminary estimated pricetag of RM 218,000; and while that is slightly higher than the RM 200k the fully-imported variants of the 11-seater Carnival currently commands, this could spell a specs update too to bring it better in-line with the CKD 7- and 8-seater variant

If you're in search of a large family MPV, look no further than the locally assembled (CKD) Kia Carnival, which will be available for test drives at this weekend's Carlist Drive Auto Fair at the Setia Alam Convention Centre.
