Upcoming Cars In October 2024 - Nissan Magnite Facelift, New Kia Carnival And More | V3Cars

1. Kia Carnival – October 3

The all-new Kia Carnival is set to make its grand return to India, boasting even more space and luxury than its predecessor, which was discontinued last June. Kia will offer the Carnival in two variants – Limousine and Limousine Plus – with a 7-seater configuration (2+2+3) at launch. The second row will feature plush captain's seats, while the third row will provide comfortable bench seating. 

Under the bonnet, the 2024 Carnival will feature a 2.2L diesel engine that produces 190PS of power and 441Nm of torque paired with an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission, sending power to the front wheels. 

Kia will initially offer the 2024 Kia Carnival as a Completely Built Unit (CBU). We expect the new Carnival to carry a starting price of Rs 45 lakh while the top variant could cost Rs. 50 lakh (ex-showroom). Check out the variant-wise features of the 2024 Kia Carnival by clicking the link below:

2. Kia EV9 – October 3

Alongside the Carnival, Kia will also launch the EV9 electric SUV. The EV9 will take over the mantle of being Kia’s flagship EV in India from the EV6 electric crossover SUV. Kia’s premium electric SUV will boast a powerful 99.8kWh battery pack, offering an impressive ARAI-certified range of 561 kilometres per charge. Equipped with dual motors (one on each axle), the EV9 offers all-wheel drive capability, delivering a combined output of 384PS of power and 700Nm of torque.

The EV9 will initially be offered in a 6-seater configuration, featuring luxurious captain's chairs in the second row. These seats will be equipped with advanced features such as electric adjustments, massage functions, and adjustable leg support. Given its premium positioning and extensive features, the EV9 is expected to be priced around Rs. 70 - 80 lakh (ex-showroom). This puts it in direct competition with other luxury electric SUVs like the Mercedes EQE SUV, BMW iX, and Audi Q8 e-tron.

The eMax 7 offers both 6- and 7-seater configurations, accommodating up to 3 rows of passengers. Additional features include a panoramic sunroof and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite. Internationally, the eMax 7 is available with 2 battery pack options: a 55.4kWh unit claiming a range of 420km and a 71.8kWh unit offering a range of 530km. BYD are yet to reveal the India-specific battery option for the eMax 7. We expect the updated electric MPV to cost around Rs. 30 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new E-Class for India is expected to get the long wheelbase option as standard to take on the recently-launched BMW 5 Series LWB. The new E-Class is expected to offer a ton of tech features including Mercedes’ Superscreen which combines 3 displays on the dashboard under a single glass panel.
