2022 Kia carnival/Sedona Efficient Seating/Space Utilization (9 and 11 Seater)

The Kia Sedona Is Dead, Long Live The Kia Carnival
In the thrilling world of minivans, few things get the blood flowing quite like a well-sorted Kia Sedona. This Korean minivan, which Kia itself calls a 'Grand Utility Vehicle' has seen some impressive updates for 2021, and in August of 2020, the next-generation Sedona was revealed, which is only set to arrive on US shores in 2022. The Sedona, which is based on Kia's midsize platform, is a good looking van and now features shorter overhangs and a longer hood. We recently reported that this minivan would be getting a name change, and those whispers have now been confirmed in an official VIN decoder: the Sedona will, from 2022, be known as the Carnival.
Sedona Forum user 'Van Man' recently posted the official VIN decoder for the 2022 Carnival as released by the NHTSA, confirming the new name once and for all. In the official documentation, Ric Willard, vehicle Certification and Compliance Department head for the Hyundai America Technical center says " Pursuant to 49 CFR 565, and on behalf of Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. ("HATCI") is submitting a V.I.N. Decoding Guide for the following 2022 model year vehicle: 2022MY Kia Carnival."
Upon closer inspection, the decoder reveals trim names such as the LX, EX, SX, and SX Prestige, and also mentions a 'Wagon 4x2 Cls-E and Cls-D'.
The name change is most likely a move to present a more unified global product offering. The new Carnival will look vastly different from the current car, partly thanks to new exterior styling details, including a new 'Tiger Nose' grille and blacked-out A- and B-pillars, and the interior is expected to feature a dual-screen display. While engine choices have not been announced, we expect to see Kia's 3.5-liter GDi V6 under the hood, with a healthy 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque on tap. The name change from Sedona to Carnival might not be the most riveting news, but the upcoming car certainly is.

It's really nice but should have been a little longer for storage after the last row (luggage for traveling, groceries, other items)

[@manishmaharjan5050]

Definitely will be adventure to seat at those last seat and watch tailgator closing in.. mere rear end bumping looks dangerous 🫣🫣

Lifting second row seats in the Sedona are awesome

Awesome review. Will the 7,9,11 Seating Configurations Be Available For US Market?

[@shauncobbs6155]

From what im seeing information wise, is no. I think they are missing out on some money.

[@timothymickal8172]

@@redskins3656Kia are far from a piece of shit and most will outlast most "luxury" cars on the market.

[@paeahome]

I would buy this… this is the only reason I came to this channel

[@blahblahblah7407]

There are regulations for seating in the U.S. the middle seats would have to be higher & have a headrest as well. I also believe that there has to be a minimal distance btwn the rear seats and the back window as well.

[@mordechaistein]

Just what frum people have been waiting for!

[@sidonculous]

Most over-engineered car seats I've ever seen 🙆

[@M_H_H]

At least everything is mechanical. Also these are quite common for minivan/mpv

This video should highlight how many car seat tether spots there are and where they are located. Only 2 could be seen in this video (at least I think I saw 2) and that's useless. Who is the number #1 market for this type of car? Families.

Why spend $45K on a minivan that has no legroom or storage space when you can buy a 2005 suburban that cold 9 people very comfortably, have plenty of legroom and storage space, and can last more than 300k miles for $5K

[@mmkashwin]

Show me proof

[@PapuchoG89]

What about the gas though ? This van has way better mpg

[@robinluich6626]

THERE IS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LEG ROOM. MY SEDONA IS AN 8 PASSENGER WITH A DEEP CARGO AREA. DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY,AND THE TWO TONE LEATHER SEATS WITH RED THREADS IS SO CLASSY,AND HEATED. Anybody who gets into my car asks what is this? This is beautiful.

[@robinluich6626]

There is nothing mini about this kia carnival or the Sedona,they're on a truck frame.

[@rizwanakarizzy8771]

This is not practical storage space Look at Nissan Quest for proper seats
