The fully-imported (CBU Korea) 2022 is a car we think starts off Dinamikjaya Motors’ Korean-car offensive on the right foot, and it’s more than a match for people looking for a giant MPV that isn’t all agricultural nor boring inside.
In this monthly repayment guide, we’re taking the 11-seater Carnival’s (there’s only one variant here) on-the-road prices sans insurance, which starts from RM 196,340, and not factoring in additional accessories.
Also, note that the final amounts you’ll have to fork out varies on factors on your insurance (provider, plans, and NCD), and any discounts given by dealers.
