Kia Carnival 3.5 V6 2025–2026 Fuel Average and Consumption
The Kia Carnival 3.5 V6 fuel average in Pakistan is 6.6 km/l in the city and 9.3 km/l on the highway. Combined, that is about 7.5 km/l. On its 72-litre tank that is roughly 475 km of city driving between fills.
These are projected figures, not a Kia claim and not a Pakistani measurement — see where they come from below.

This is a specialist tool and it is very good at the one job. Eleven belted seats across four rows in a 5,155 mm body, with sliding doors on both sides and three-zone climate, is a combination that essentially nothing else offers new in Pakistan. Eight airbags is also the most of any Kia sold here. The cost of entry is fuel: a 3,470 cc naturally aspirated V6 hauling a vehicle this size will return something in the region of 6.6 km/l in town, and there is no hybrid option to escape to. If you genuinely need to move eleven people, nothing on this list substitutes for it. If you need seven, the Sorento is PKR 45 lacs cheaper and far less thirsty.

The good & the bad
The good
▲Eleven seats with eleven seat belts across four rows, which almost nothing else sold new in Pakistan offers
▲Eight airbags, including centre and knee airbags - the most of any Kia in this range
▲Smart power sliding doors on both sides make access to the rear rows genuinely easy, which is the whole argument for an MPV over a three-row SUV
▲Three-zone climate control and sixteen cup holders across four rows
▲3,090 mm of wheelbase gives real third- and fourth-row legroom rather than token seats
▲Heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory, a heated leather wheel and a dual power sunroof
▲A 72-litre tank, which the engine needs
The bad
▼A 3,470 cc naturally aspirated V6 in a 5,155 mm vehicle is expensive to run - expect around 6.6 km/l in the city
▼No hybrid, diesel or all-wheel-drive option, so there is no way to avoid the fuel bill
▼One variant only, so there is nothing to trade equipment against price
▼5,155 mm long and 1,995 mm wide is a great deal of vehicle for Pakistani urban parking
▼172 mm of ground clearance is the lowest of any Kia in this range
▼The price rose PKR 7 lacs on 1 July 2025 after the NEV levy
▼No independent crash rating exists for the car sold here

Safety
What is known about this car's safety in Pakistan
The Carnival carries eight airbags - driver, passenger, side, centre, curtain and knee - which is more than any other Kia sold in Pakistan. The centre airbag, between the front occupants, is specifically there to reduce head contact between driver and passenger in a side impact, and it is unusual at this price.
Eleven seat belts for eleven seats is worth stating explicitly, because vehicles configured for large numbers of passengers do not always provide one per seat.
Also fitted: an electric parking brake with auto hold, driver attention warning, and the smart power sliding doors, which on a vehicle carrying children are a safety feature as much as a convenience one.
Kia's specification sheet for the Carnival does not list the lane keeping, forward collision avoidance or blind-spot assistance systems found on the all-wheel-drive Sorentos. Buyers coming from a Sorento AWD should not assume those carry over.
Pakistan has no NCAP programme, so the vehicle sold here carries no independent crash rating.

What is the price of the Kia Carnival in Pakistan?
PKR 1,82,00,000 ex-factory for the 3.5 V6, the only version sold. The price rose from PKR 1,75,00,000 on 1 July 2025 following the NEV levy. Freight, registration and withholding tax are extra.
How many seats does the Kia Carnival have?
Eleven, across four rows, with eleven seat belts - one for every seat.
What is the fuel average of the Kia Carnival?
Kia publishes no figure. Projecting from the Kia Sorento 3.5, which uses the identical LAMBDA II V6 and is recorded by Pakistani owners at 7.5 km/l city and 10.0 highway, the heavier Carnival should return roughly 6.6 km/l in the city and 9.3 on the highway. That is a projection, not a measurement.
Is there a hybrid or diesel Kia Carnival in Pakistan?
No. The 3.5 MPI V6 petrol is the only engine offered, and front-wheel drive the only drivetrain.
How many airbags does the Kia Carnival have?
Eight - driver, passenger, side, centre, curtain and knee. That is the most of any Kia sold in Pakistan.
How big is the Kia Carnival?
5,155 mm long, 1,995 mm wide and 1,740 mm tall on a 3,090 mm wheelbase, with 172 mm of ground clearance. It is 340 mm longer than a Kia Sorento.
Does the Kia Carnival have sliding doors?
Yes, smart power sliding doors on both sides, plus a dual power sunroof.
Should I buy a Kia Carnival or a Kia Sorento?
If you need to carry more than seven people, the Carnival, because the Sorento cannot. If seven is enough, the Sorento is PKR 45 lacs cheaper, considerably more economical - especially as a hybrid - and available with driver-assistance equipment the Carnival does not offer.
