Following the footsteps of its relative, the Kia Carnival, Hyundai added a petrol-electric hybrid option to the Hyundai Staria in South Korea. The Korean H brand announced pre-orders for the Staria Hybrid with prices ranging between KRW 34.33 million to KRW 36.53 million (~RM 122.5k-130k). The hybrid system is the third engine option offered for the Staria in Korea. The other two powerplants offered are the 3.5-litre V6 LPG unit and a 2.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel mill. The latter is the only unit

The current generation Kia Carnival, its fourth, has been around since 2020 and has been a common sight on Malaysian roads since its local launch in 2021. As such, Kia is looking to unveil the facelift of the Grand Utility Vehicle. Test mules wrapped in camouflage have been popping up online but this is the first time that one has been spotted completely undisguised. Picked up by Korean automotive site, Motors Jason, the new-look Carnival appears to be in a commercial shoot somewhere in South Ko

Technically the 2022 Kia Carnival (KA4) sits uncontested in Malaysia. Well yes it's an MPV, with lots of seats and a couple of sliding doors, but it's the only one you can buy new in its price range that's built solely for the people-carrying business that's not a sanitised version of a commercial van. We already love the 11-seater, Korean-imported (CBU) variant that came to Malaysia first. It's far more difficult to sieve the negatives in the locally-assembled (CKD Kulim, Kedah) 7- and 8-seater

The 2021 Hyundai Staria made its Malaysian debut earlier today via a virtual launch event hosted by local Hyundai distributor, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM).

The 2021 Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS) is happening as we speak, and one of the cars on display that may pique the interest of Malaysians is the 2021 Kia Carnival. The Kia Carnival in Thailand is fully-imported from South Korea. The all-new 2021 Kia Carnival made its global debut in August last year. The latest fourth-gen Kia Carnival has grown in size; 40 mm longer than before at 5,155 mm, 10 mm wider at 1,995 mm, with a 30 mm longer wheelbase at 3,090 mm. The Kia Carnival features an

The price of the 2020 Kia Grand Carnival with 11 seats has been revealed to be RM 175,088 on the road without insurance. But what’s more surprising is that the 11-seater will replace the Grand Carnival with 8-seats entirely so there is only 1 variant. As predicted, the 11-seater Grand Carnival will be powered by the same 2.2-litre diesel engine that dispenses 200 PS and 440 Nm of torque.
