White-colour Kia Carnival Crash Tested in Latest Video.
Kia Motors has launched Carnival in the price bracket of Rs 24.95 lakhs - Rs 33.95 lakhs (ex-showroom) in the Indian market. The MPV is offered in three trims namely Premium, Prestige, and Limousine. While most of the brands perform horizontal crash and a head-on collision tests to determine the impact-absorbing ability of its offering, Kia Motors in New Zealand recently conducted a unique vertical crash test. For the test, the current iteration of the Kia Carnival MPV was used. The vehicle was dropped from a vertical height of 12.6 m. A crane was used to lay the vehicle on a vertically flat surface aligned at 90 degrees from the surface below. The MPV was then dropped from the height at a speed of 56 kmph.
This test clearly shows that the MPV had absorbed the impact in a pretty good way. There was damage on the front bonnet and bumper. The rear end faced minimal damage. Apart from this, the airbags were also deployed. Since most of the impact was absorbed by the safety zone, thus the legs of the dummies kept inside were not effected that deeply. Earlier, the Kia Carnival has already received Five Star in the ANCAP crash testing rating. The current model is also available in the Indian market. Recently, an incident with the India-spec Kia Carnival proves that the vehicle surely does have the ability to absorb any kind of impact subjected towards it. In this instance, a person went to the dealership to take the delivery of his new Kia Carnival. But this special moment turned out to be a nightmare for him.
