Kia mpv 20211/30/2024 ![]() ![]() We think prices may start from Rs 15 lakh and go up to Rs 20 lakh, ex-showroom. The Kia MPV should be priced at a premium over the Seltos. The more organic look of its new design theme is expected to be followed but a squared-off stance and aggressive SUV-loke styling cues are to be expected. To differentiate its new offering further, Kia India is expected to style this MPV along the lines of the new Carnival available internationally. Both engines are expected to be made available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque-converter automatic. The new 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol making 169PS and 191 Nm should also be added to the line-up. Both engines come paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque-converter automatic. The diesel motor should continue unchanged from the Seltos, the 1.5-litre turbo-diesel putting out 115PS and 250 Nm. The second row should get the seatback tables, the floor-mounted armrest and a separate AC compressor for the third row.Įngine options could again mirror those of the new Hyundai. Also expected is a similar set of features, with the digital instrumentation, 360-degree cameras, panoramic sunroof, connected-tech, all making their way here. This means a longer wheelbase, more high-strength steel in the body and revised suspension tuning. The new Kia MPV should, however, borrow the same extended architecture from the Alcazar. This is also a departure from the brand's earlier strategy of mirroring its offerings to that of Hyundai. The idea seems to be to cash in on the big gap in the MPV market between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/XL 6 and the Toyota Innova. There has been some conjecture as to its bodystyle and the segment this model will actually fit into, but we have reason to believe that Kia will position its next offering as an MPV. Kia India has confirmed that its next offering for the Indian market will be a three-row model.
