The gasoline and diesel engines are available in all five qualities, while the Hybrid powertrain only offered if a GT line now is also available in S and Sport+ figures.

The carnival is the best -selling Mensmover from Australia with a huge margin and has eight seats in three rows.

The second row is ‘reversible’ – which means that it can be confronted backwards – and has slide and background functions. It also has a sliding ‘walk-in’ function that makes it easier to access the 60/40 split chair of the third row.

Each carnival has five top tether and five isofix chair mounting points.

There are USB chargers for the first two rows, air conditioning ventilation openings for all three rows and nine cup holders in the interior.
