Kia Carnival Mileage

MUVNo reviews yet

₹59.65 Lakhex-showroom

Kia Carnival

The Carnival runs a 2.2 litre diesel rated at 14.85 kmpl. That is a reasonable figure for a heavy seven seat MPV of this size. Steady highway driving will get you closest to it. Heavy city traffic, a full load of passengers and constant air conditioning will pull the real number lower. See how that engine pairs with the single Carnival trim.

Mileage is how far the Carnival travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.

  2. 2Go easy on the pedalSmooth acceleration and braking beat quick starts and hard stops.
  3. 3Don't carry dead weightAn empty boot and roof help. Extra load means extra fuel.
  4. 4Use the AC wiselyAt city speeds the AC adds load. On the highway, closed windows help.
  5. 5Service on timeA clean air filter and fresh oil keep the engine sipping, not gulping.

Kia Carnival mileage: common questions

What mileage does the Kia Carnival return?

Kia rates it at 14.85 kmpl on the 2.2 litre diesel. Real world figures depend on load, traffic and how you drive.

Is the Carnival diesel good for long drives?

Yes. The strong diesel and 72 litre tank suit highway trips, and the rated 14.85 kmpl holds up better at steady speeds.

Does a full load hurt Carnival mileage?

It can. Carrying seven people and luggage makes the engine work harder, so expect a figure below the rated 14.85 kmpl.
