The latest generation Kia Carnival will get SUV-inspired styling bearing a new design theme which Kia calls as symphonic architecture, bringing a sense of harmony and structural energy. The side profile gets a bold character line that runs across the entire length of the vehicle, linking the front and rear lamps. Meanwhile, the glasshouse is characterized by a new chrome fin, which extends to surround the rear establishing a fully floating roof appearance.
