Kia Carnival Facelift Officially Launched in Pakistan

After 1.5 years of its global debut, the 4th generation Kia Carnival Facelift has officially arrived in Pakistan. This highly anticipated model, first introduced globally in mid-2023, has entered the local market as a Completely Built Unit (CBU). Priced at PKR 17,000,000 (ex-factory), the Carnival retains its 11-seat layout, allowing it to qualify as a commercial vehicle. This classification enables the model to benefit from reduced customs duties, making it a more tax-efficient choice for buyers.

Engine and Performance

Under the hood, the facelifted Kia Carnival Facelift Pakistan is powered by the same robust 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering an impressive 272 horsepower and 331 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the vehicle ensures a smooth and powerful driving experience. The advanced drivetrain supports its dual role as a family and commercial vehicle, catering to a diverse range of users.

Safety and Features

The facelifted Carnival brings significant updates to its safety features. It includes Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with forward collision avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot collision avoidance assist. These additions ensure a safer driving experience, particularly on long journeys. Although the design updates inside the cabin are minimal, changes to the AC grills, dashboard, and center console give the interior a refreshed look. Kia Carnival Updates regarding additional specifications and features will be shared once official details are released.

Pricing and Booking

Bookings for the Kia Carnival Executive are now open at dealerships nationwide, with an introductory price of PKR 1.75 crore. This price may increase in the coming months, making it an ideal time for interested buyers to secure their vehicles. The Carnival remains one of the most tax-efficient CBU options in the market due to its classification as a commercial transport vehicle. This strategy allows it to benefit from a lower tax rate of 12% for filers, while non-filers face a higher rate of 36%.

Tax Efficiency and Policy Benefits

The Carnival’s classification under the commercial vehicle category is due to its seating capacity of more than 10 passengers. According to FBR’s policy, vehicles meeting this criterion qualify for reduced taxes, particularly for combustion-engine models. This positioning makes the Carnival one of the lowest-taxed options in the new car market, enhancing its appeal for buyers. With its competitive pricing and extensive features, the Kia Carnival PKR 1.7 Crore offers exceptional value in Pakistan's automotive landscape.
