Kia has revealed the exterior of its Carnival facelift ahead of its global debut. While other details such as the interior and technical specifications yet to be revealed, expect the brand to do so in the coming weeks. The third generation Carnival MPV was earlier on sale in the Indian market before being discontinued.

As with its predecessor, expect Kia to bring the fourth-gen MPV to India via the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) route, and to command a premium over the third-gen model.
