Thaco has recently officially introduced the 2024 Kia Carnival. The car continues to be assembled domestically, but now there are only 4 versions using diesel engines. In 2024, the 3.5L gasoline version has been eliminated, and the hybrid variant did not appear as some had expected.
The suggested retail prices of the 2024 Kia Carnival have changed. The highest variant of this model is priced at 1,589 billion VND, cheaper than the previous generation (3.5G Signature 7-seat version, priced at 1,759 billion VND). However, the starting price of the car has increased by 110 million VND, to 1,299 billion VND.
| Version | Price |
| Carnival 2.2D Luxury 8S | 1,299,000,000 |
| Carnival 2.2D Premium 7S | 1,519,000,000 |
| Carnival 2.2D Premium 8S | 1,479,000,000 |

The overall design of the 2024 Kia Carnival remains almost unchanged, as it is just a mid-cycle upgrade. However, the exterior of the car has been refreshed with changes focused on the front, such as a large "tiger nose" grille, giving the new Carnival a more robust appearance than the previous generation.

Stepping inside, the cabin of the 2024 Carnival undergoes a comprehensive transformation despite being just a mid-cycle update. The highlight of this area is the curved screen cluster consisting of a information screen and an entertainment screen connected together, both with a size of 12.3 inches.
Notable features include: wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, 12 Bose speakers, 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory function, 6-way power-adjustable front passenger seat with heating/cooling, dual-zone automatic climate control, 64-color ambient lighting.
The 2024 Kia Carnival is offered in 7 or 8-seat configurations. In the 7-seat version, the second-row seats will have a business class design with deep recline, relaxation mode, heating/cooling (Photo: Thaco).
Under the hood, the diesel engine block of the car has not changed, still with a displacement of 2.2L, producing a maximum power of 199 horsepower and a maximum torque of 440Nm. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive system.
The safety equipment highlights the active safety system ADAS 2.0, which includes upgraded features such as: front and rear collision warning and avoidance, blind spot warning and avoidance, safe door opening warning and assistance, and cross-traffic collision warning and avoidance when reversing.
Standard equipment includes lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, 360-degree camera, tire pressure sensors, and 8 airbags.
In the 8-seat version, the second-row seats can slide back and forth or rotate 180 degrees towards the third row (Photo: Thaco).
The Kia Carnival does not have a direct competitor in Vietnam. Another car that can be considered in the same size category as the Korean product is the Volkswagen Viloran, but it is relatively expensive (1,989-2,188 billion VND), as the German brand positions itself as a premium brand.
The Carnival attracts customers who need a spacious and well-equipped vehicle for family or business transportation. From the beginning of 2024 until the end of August, a total of 3,253 units of this car were sold, making it one of Kia's main products in Vietnam.
