New 2020 Kia Grand Carnival with 11 seats launched; RM 179,888, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay

Naza Kia has officially launched the new 11-seater 2020 Kia Grand Carnival in Malaysia. The 11-seater MPV will replace the 8-seater Grand Carnival (previously sold in 2 variants; KX - RM 158,788, SX - RM 188,788) and will only be available in one variant with an asking price of RM 179,888.

The new Grand Carnival features innovative Multiflex seats that allows owners to adjust the layout of the seating arrangement according to the needs of the family, whether it is to fit as many passengers as possible or to fit more luggage for travelling.

New on the MPV includes upgrades like a new roof rack and one-touch power windows with anti-pinch. On the inside, the Grand Carnival gets a new 7.0-inch touchscreen HMI (human-machine interface) with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

There is also voice recognition for the new infotainment. Kia has also added an additional USB charging port at the fourth row for more convenience.

Other than that, the 11-seater Grand Carnival looks largely the same as the outgoing 8-seater MPV, so you still get features like the power sliding doors and 18-inch wheels. It even has the same 2.2-litre TCI turbodiesel engine that produces 200 PS and 440 Nm paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
