The ongoing CBU Kia Carnival is offered in 11-seat configuration and retails for RM 196,340. Now, prospective buyers are also interested in the 8-seater variant, however, it’s difficult to say whether or not the soon to arrive CKD Carnival will be offered the required configuration.
It is to be noted that if Kia Malaysia brings on-board a 7- or 8-seater variant of the Carnival, it will definitely cost higher than the ongoing 11-seater. Why? Well, that’s because as per Malaysia’s tax regulation an 11-seater vehicle is a minibus, which is a commercial vehicle that has a low tax rate compared to a 7- or 8-seater MPV.
Coming back to the locally assembled Kia Carnival, it will be the first car manufactured by Kia Malaysia. The MPV would be manufactured at the Inokom facility in Kulim under the joint venture between Kia Motors and Bermaz Auto.
