High-end minivan, Kia’s Carnival with luxury features
Appears for sale for $ 124, 803
What special features were applied?
Carnival is Kia’s flagship minivan model. This vehicle is particularly loved by fathers who have to transport their children. Several imported minivans, such as the Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey, are considered competitors, but their sales volume is very low compared to the Carnival due to high prices, low awareness, and ease of maintenance.
In the Carnival lineup, there is also a high limousine with a raised roof that adds luxury specifications to the basic model. It has the advantage of utilizing a large space, so it serves as a replacement for luxury sedans. In this situation, a high-end and high-priced Carnival High Limousine has recently become a hot topic on a German car sales site.

The Carnival that appeared on a luxury car site
The interior is equipped with luxurious convenience equipment
The Kia Carnival High Limousine has unexpectedly appeared on a German luxury car sales site. Looking at the exterior alone, we could mistake it for a genuine high limousine, but the interior has been transformed into a gorgeous one. The seats are finished with new high-quality Nappa leather, and the carpet has a marble pattern.
In addition, a 27-inch monitor was installed inside the high limousine using the high roof, and a Rolls-Royce-style starlight headliner and premium audio system were also installed. The engine has not been changed. A standard 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine generates a maximum output of 290 horsepower.
On sale for 114,002 ( $ 124,803)
Similar to the Mercedes-Benz S Class price
Currently, this vehicle is being sold for 114,002 euros ($124,803), which is about 160 million won ($124,803), the same as the base price of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Even considering that the price of the non-facelifted high limousine in the photo in Korea is not low, ranging from 60.96 million won ($45,976) to 86.83 million won ($65,487), it is still a shocking price.
Customers can also purchase Mercedes-Benz’s full-size GLS Class SUV for 114,002 euros. Of course, the Maybach GLS 600 is in the top lineup, but the GLS Class is the flagship SUV model in the general Mercedes-Benz lineup.
There are similar cases in South Korea
Limousine Conversion Brand, Noble Klasse
Likewise, there are cases of developing and producing more luxurious cars based on the Carnival High Limousine in South Korea as well. Noble Klasse, a well-known high limousine remodeling company, can be cited as a representative example.
Noble Klasse’s most luxurious model, the L9, was launched last January. This model was developed based on the facelifted The New Carnival High Limousine. In particular, its exterior features a two-tone paint scheme that differentiates it from existing high limousines. The selling price of the 2024 L9 has not been disclosed, and the price of the existing non-facelifted L9 was 99.99 million won ($75,412).
