Kia Carnival 2021 vs Kia Carnival 2020
The front has received extensive changes with the new tiger-face grille that is significantly different from the tiger nose grille in the previous model year, to the elongated hood, the elegant chrome trim, and the headlamps extending to the side with integrated LED daytime running lights. From the side, the increase in the length of the new Kia Carnival 2021 stands out thanks to its long wheelbase, and 17, 18 and 19-inch wheels. While you can see the taillights attached to a LED strip spreading over the entire width of the car more clearly than the previous generation.
As you explore the interior, you will see that it is substantially roomier than the previous 2020 model, as it now has eight seats instead of the prior six. It also has a new dashboard with digital gauges, an advanced navigation system, a 12.3-inch touch screen for infotainment that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a camera connected to allow front passengers to monitor passengers in the back, which is intended to monitor children, as all of these technologies are considered a significant advancement over the previous generation, which appears outdated by today's standards.
In terms of engines, the new Kia Carnival 2021 has an MPi A six-cylinder with direct injection, a capacity of 3.5 liters, a capacity of 272 horsepower, and a torque of 332 Nm paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, up from 3.3 liters with a capacity of 276 hp in the 2020 edition.
