Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

- Rear seat comfort and space is much better than luxury cars costing double the Carnival’s price
- Ample boot space behind the third row
- The front 4 seats are powered, heated and ventilated
- Impressive road presence despite being an MPV
Audi Q3 Sportback
- Sportier styling than the Q3 thanks to coupe-SUV styling
- Big boot space which can be increased with flat-folding rear seats
- Comfortable ride quality
- Engaging and fun to drive 2-litre TSI and 7-speed DSG combination
- Compact dimensions make it easier to drive around the city
- Practical enough for a family of four people

Kia Carnival
- Rear cabin quality should have been better
- Noise insulation is not good for a chauffeur driven car
Audi Q3 Sportback
- Could have looked even better with brighter colour options and flashier wheels
- Features like ventilated front seats with memory function and 360-degree camera still missing
- No diesel engine on offer like its rivals
