Kia Unveils Facelifted Carnival Exterior Design... Hybrid Added
Kia unveiled the exterior design of the facelifted model of its large recreational vehicle (RV), the Carnival, on the 27th.
The 4th generation facelifted Carnival features a design that harmonizes refined sophistication with the ruggedness of a sport utility vehicle (SUV).
The front features vertically shaped headlamps and 'Signature Starmap Lighting' daytime running lights (DRL), creating a futuristic image. The radiator grille, emphasized with luxurious details, gives a grand impression.
On the sides, the vertically shaped headlamps and rear combination lamps are harmoniously connected along the straight character lines, conveying a sense of balance. Newly designed alloy wheels emphasize a solid and strong feel.
At the rear, the license plate position has been moved downward and the exposed handle removed to create a wide and clean tailgate. The left and right connected 'Starmap Rear Combination Lamps' provide unity with the front design.
The design-specialized trim, Gravity, features a dedicated radiator grille and wheels, and applies dark metallic colors to the roof rack, C-pillar, tailgate, door garnish, and front and rear skid plates.
The facelifted Carnival offers six exterior colors, including the new Ivory Silver, Snow White Pearl, Astra Blue, Aurora Black Pearl, Pantera Metal, and Ceramic Silver.
Starting with this facelifted model, Kia is adding a hybrid model to the lineup. A total of three powertrain options?gasoline, diesel, and hybrid?will be available.
