Thats humongous. Kia are definitely on the roll. Should be doing close to 4K copies a month.
One bummer I feel is 180 mm unladen means once the car is full with 3m Wheel base, it must scrap every where.

Kia Carnival TVC video gets played backwards – Stay Home to Fight Corona Virus

The marketing team of Kia Motors India definitely consists of some minds who can think out of the box. They essentially rewound (or ‘rewinded’?) the Kia Carnival’s TVC which was shared earlier in February. In the original video, the lead character can be seen going for a date in his Carnival. Meanwhile, Kia Motors India’s new #RewindKia campaign plays the same video in reverse and tells viewers to stay home.
