Kia India has revealed specifications of the upcoming Carnival strong hybrid, which is expected to launch in India in the coming weeks. The new hybrid version will be sold alongside the existing diesel-powered Carnival.
The Carnival hybrid uses a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, the same unit used in the recently launched Kia Sorento Hybrid.
The electric motor produces 8.4hp and 40Nm more than the motor used in the Sorento Hybrid.
