Editor's View of Kia Carnival
-
Upside
Big and imposing, spacious and comfortable, feature-loaded and well built - the Carnival has a lot going for it. However, there are some things that it really aces. Comfort levels, both in terms of ride quality and space, is really good across all three rows of seats (in the 7 VIP, 7 and 8 seat variants).
-
Downside
It may be a bit too big for some parking lots. Also, if you opt for the 9 seat option, you'll have to make a compromise between luggage space or passenger comfort.
-
Our Verdict
If you love to travel with your extended family on long road trips, then the Carnival will ensure that you can seat everyone in absolute comfort. There's more than enough cool features to ensure that the journey is as fun as the destination too.
