Boga9 has completed certification for its 9-seat model in the Carnival Hi-Limousine market, securing both legal stability and practicality. Boga Co., Ltd., a specialist manufacturer of Carnival Hi-Limousines, announced that the Boga9 vehicle has finished the official 9-seat certification process, thereby building a lineup that fully meets legal and regulatory requirements.
With this certification, Boga9 can undergo regular vehicle inspections and structural modification procedures anywhere in the country without issues, and the same standards will be applied without exception even in Jeju, where regional inspection criteria are known to be particularly strict. Unlike some companies in the Carnival Hi-Limousine market that obtain certification with the original factory seats and then replace them with non-certified seats during delivery, Boga9 is delivered exactly in the certified configuration. This allows users to operate their vehicles stably without any additional legal risk.
The 9-seat certification for Boga9 was carried out with the sinking seats installed. The sinking seats are designed so they can be folded or removed as needed, with the aim of maximizing interior space utilization. This configuration helps provide flexible responses for large families whose number of passengers varies depending on the situation, as well as for corporate transportation environments. Given that flexible use of space and seating layout is considered a key factor in real-world use of Carnival Hi-Limousines, this certification approach is being evaluated as a design choice that prioritizes practicality.
Tax benefits that apply to officially certified 9-seat vehicles are also one of the key features of Boga9. Indirect taxes such as individual consumption tax, education tax, and the special tax for rural development are reduced, and automobile tax and acquisition tax are also subject to relief. When registered as a corporate vehicle, value-added tax refunds and expense booking are possible, and multi-child households can receive acquisition tax exemptions or reductions. Through this, users can choose a Carnival Hi-Limousine while lowering both initial purchase costs and ongoing ownership burdens.
Boga Co., Ltd. is the only domestic company specializing in hi-limousines that has been selected as an official conversion partner of Kia Motors. Based on its own R&D center and dedicated production lines, it operates a manufacturing system that manages the entire process from development and production to verification, delivery, and after-sales service. Rather than simple outsourced conversions, it has combined safety certification and quality control through a formal manufacturing process, which formed the foundation for this 9-seat certification.
A Boga representative said, "The official 9-seat certification of Boga9 is not about simply increasing the number of seats, but about enhancing the completeness of the Carnival Hi-Limousine and building user trust," adding, "For corporate customers, it will establish itself as a model that offers cost efficiency and regulatory stability, and for general consumers, it will provide legal operability and practical usability."
Meanwhile, Boga Co., Ltd. plans to continue expanding its Carnival Hi-Limousine lineup around vehicle safety and a compliant certification system, and to keep introducing mobility solutions that respond to diverse customer needs.
