Kia Carnival Hi-Limousine has debuted at
Auto Expo 2020. Kia says that it has brought the new top-end variant to gauge
the market response. The Kia Carnival Hi-Limousine is sold as a separate model
in South Korea and positioned above the Kia Carnival. Here, Hi-Limousine could
be introduced under the same model and just be positioned above Limousine
variant as the new range-topping trim.
In addition to LED projector headlamps,
Ice Cube-shaped LED fog lamps, 18-inch sputtering finish alloy wheels and LED
tail lamps, the Hi-Limousine variant features a roof box for additional luggage
space (over the standard 540 litres) and Hi-Limousine LED puddle lamps.
More changes are on the inside, with an
aim to offer more comfort and convenience to the passengers as well as to
flaunt the exclusivity of the top-of-the-line configuration a little. These
include 21.5-inch roof-mounted entertainment display, electronic controls for
the roof-mounted display and mood lighting on the second-row armrest, curtains,
heated/cooled cup holders in rows one and two and Hi-Limousine door sills with
LED illumination.
