What was the first Kia Carnival model, and what was its exterior design like?

Kia, a leading global automotive manufacturer, produced the first Kia Carnival to compete with large-truck manufacturers by creating a mid-size truck.

This version was first launched from its main factory in South Korea in 1998. Within a few years, it significantly expanded its global presence, like other models it produced, and successfully competed with the company in truck manufacturing.

However, this idea changed later; the company decided to focus on producing large vehicles similar to trucks to accommodate large families and those seeking spacious interiors in various vehicles.
