Rivals
Earlier we were a bit skeptical about the rivals but after having a brief look at the specs and the prices at which the carnival has been launched it will surely rival the likes of the Toyota Innova Crysta in the MPV segment. While in the luxury segment we surely can see the Carnival giving a tough competition to the Mercedes V-class and the Toyota Vellfire.
