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 Carnival is Kia's large MPV and the only vehicle in this range built around carrying people rather than looking like it might. It is sold in Pakistan in one version, the 3.5 V6, at PKR 1,82,00,000.
Eleven seats and eleven seat belts across four rows. That is the number worth repeating, because almost nothing else sold new in Pakistan at any price seats eleven with a belt for each of them.
The engine is a 3,470 cc LAMBDA II 3.5 MPI V6 making 272 ps (200.1 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 331.5 Nm at 5,000, through an eight-speed automatic driving the front wheels. The tank holds 72 litres - the largest in Kia's Pakistani range.
The body is 5,155 mm long, 1,995 wide and 1,740 tall on a 3,090 mm wheelbase, with 172 mm of ground clearance. It is 340 mm longer than a Sorento and rides on a wheelbase 275 mm longer.
Equipment is generous: eight airbags - more than any other Kia in this range - smart power sliding doors on both sides, a dual power sunroof, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, three-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats with driver memory, a heated leather steering wheel, dual LED projection headlamps and sixteen cup holders.
There is no hybrid, no diesel and no all-wheel drive. The 3.5 V6 is the only way the Carnival is sold here.
A single powertrain. The engine is a 3,470 cc LAMBDA II 3.5 MPI V6 with multi-point injection, a bore and stroke of 92 x 87 mm and a 10.6:1 compression ratio, making 272 ps - 200.1 kW - at 6,400 rpm and 331.5 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Drive goes to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic, with Normal, Eco, Sport and Smart drive modes. There is no all-wheel-drive option in Pakistan. The rear suspension is multi-link. Brakes are 18-inch discs at the front and 17-inch at the rear, with an electric parking brake and auto hold. Tyres are 235/60 R18. It is a naturally aspirated, port-injected V6 of a kind that is becoming rare, and it behaves accordingly: smooth, quiet, unstressed at low loads and thirsty when worked. The 72-litre tank is sized for it.
Kia publishes no fuel figure for the Carnival in Pakistan, and no Pakistani owner data for this exact vehicle is held on this site yet. What we can do is reason from the same engine. The Kia Sorento 3.5 uses the identical LAMBDA II 3.5 MPI V6 with an eight-speed automatic, and Pakistani owners record it at 7.5 km/l in the city and 10.0 on the highway. The Carnival is 340 mm longer, taller, wider and carries eleven seats, so it is a heavier vehicle doing the same work with the same engine. Reducing those figures gives roughly 6.6 km/l in the city and 9.3 on the highway, about 7.5 combined. That is a projection, not a measurement, and it is labelled as one wherever it appears. At 7.5 km/l combined the 72-litre tank gives about 540 km between fills. There is no hybrid Carnival in Pakistan, so unlike the Sportage L and Sorento there is no more economical version to step up to. Pakistan has no mandatory fuel-economy test and Kia publishes no local consumption figure for any of its cars, so every number here is either an owner report or a projection from one, and is labelled as such on the page it appears on.
Open any variant above for its full specification sheet.
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.
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.
Eleven, across four rows, with eleven seat belts - one for every seat.
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.
No. The 3.5 MPI V6 petrol is the only engine offered, and front-wheel drive the only drivetrain.
Eight - driver, passenger, side, centre, curtain and knee. That is the most of any Kia sold in Pakistan.
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.
Yes, smart power sliding doors on both sides, plus a dual power sunroof.
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.
4 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first.
