Kia Carnival Mileage
₹59.65 Lakhex-showroom
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.

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.
