1) Like the current Innova, want the next car to do duty for us for the next 9-10 years (bear in mind Carnival is a diesel engine only
2) 9-10 years of ownership would mean crossing the 2 lac mark on the odo. Its not about raking up the miles, but how the car rakes them up. E.g. I don t like the condition of my friends Scorpio that just crossed 2lac kms. He is as devoted to his cars as me, if not more.Ideally, this should not be an issue with any modern car nowadays. With increasing reliability across brands, I am quite sure that the Carnival would be able to cross the 2L km mark. Albeit, with not as much ease as an Innova would and you might need to keep up with higher maintenance costs coupled with a few out of occasion visits to the ASC but nothing that would be too stressful.
Kia was ranked number one among mass-market brands today by J.D. Power in the 2021 Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) with a reported 97 problems per 100 vehicles. The achievement has been strengthened by three of Kia's most popular-selling models – the Sorento, Sportage, and Optima – each besting their respective segments.
