The Week That Was: Kia Carnival, Peugeot 308, BMW X5M & X6M

The all-new 2015 Kia Carnival has finally arrived in local showrooms, with prices starting from $41,490 plus on-roads.

Available in four variants, the new Carnival can be had with either V6 petrol or four-cylinder turbo-diesel engines across the range.

The carmaker is expecting a 4-star safety rating from ANCAP when the Carnival faces crash testing next month, but an immediate update will bring it up to 5-stars by midyear.  

Peugeot’s new 308 range is now complete for the Australian market, with the arrival this week of two new variants.

Headlining the local range is a pair of GT models, available with both turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel engines matched with manual and automatic transmissions respectively.

New versions of the Allure variant have also arrived, available in both Hatch and Touring (wagon) body-styles.
