The new Carnival facelift is yet to be officially revealed; hence, we have few details based on the spy shots. The model will get vertically stacked headlamps, new grille and alloy wheels, roof rails, two sunroofs, revised front and rear bumpers, inverted L-shaped LED taillights, high-mounted stop lamp, and a tailgate-mounted number plate holder.

The pre-facelift model was equipped with two 12.3-inch screens on the dashboard, electrically operated rear doors, fully digital instrument console, ADAS suite, rear entertainment screens, dual-tone theme, and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel.

Under the hood, the 2024 Kia Carnival is expected to be powered by the same 2.2-litre diesel engine paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, producing an output of 200bhp and 400Nm. We can expect more details to be revealed in the coming months.
