Usually, the introduction of a new generation model would also mean the discontinuation / replacement of the previous generation model. The Toyota Innova could be an exemption to this, if product line ups in Indonesia and India – the two biggest markets for the Innova – is a reliable indication of what’s co

With prices starting from below the RM 200k mark, yet offers 202 PS of power wrapped in an unconventional body with a well-crafted cabin, there's a lot going for the Carnival. Except for two small i

Once again, the big blue planet that we currently reside on has made its full orbit around the sun and the year 2020 v2.0 2021 ends. While some might remain optimistic that 2022 might be better with a huge array of upcoming models, we’d like to dedicate this article to the cars that won’t make it into the new year.

Alongside the launch of the Kia K5, the all new fourth-generation 2021 Kia Carnival also made its Chinese debut at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. Like the K5, the Carnival will ride on Kia’s new iGMP platform and will continue Kia’s technology showcase in the country. The new generation Kia Carnival only just made its global debut last month.
