Yeah I do like the look, though often have to do a double take at dusk since the design is kinda similar to the newer F-150 Raptors DRL.

That's a nice car that makes far more sense for families than SUVs. I just wonder how many thousands in sales that Kia missed out on by the silly name. If it was named "Trailpro" or "Ridge Runner", it would sell a lot more because it's all about image when it comes to American decisions on cars.

Always love your reviews Lyn. We actually already bought one in this exact exterior and interior color combination. Why did we choose the Kia? New hybrid gas mileage, fancy inside tech, and wonderful second row premium seats which are going to be perfect for road trips!

I LOVE the amber DRLs on new cars nowadays. Kia is doing this more extensively and it needs to carry over to more Hyundai models (Only in the Ioniq 6 as far as I am aware). I really like the styling on the front end, but everything past the B pillar is pure minivan. they should have tried to integrate the door track above the body panel so it blends in with the black trim. I also think they should have a more vertical D pillar and really square off the back as much as possible like on the new Santa Fe. as far as the interior is concerned, I don't like the multi function select panel for the HVAC buttons. I hear its not as much of a problem if you are using Android Auto or Apple Carplay. the more physical buttons the better on any new car, and less piano black plastic on the interior is my preference. anything that would reflect sunlight (or headlight glare) off the dash and back in my face needs to be removed. make everything on the dash matte. I think it is funny they were afraid of a passthrough console to make it look to minivan while the newly designed Santa Fe is a crossover SUV and they included a passthrough. What is it with these super weak inverters for their AC outlets? The one in the rear seat should be at least 300 watts and they should have a dual outlet in the trunk with 2.4kw. that would make it much more useful and better competition for the Sienna that has a 2kw optional AC outlet in the trunk. make all of the USB-c outlets 100W capable while they are at it. A generator mode like on the F150 trucks would be awesome. I wish they had chosen to use a column mounted shifter like on the Santa Fe and EV9, I can't stand rotary shifters. One thing that surprises people about the Carnival is the cargo room, which is significantly better than any of the other competing minivan. it makes it easier for people adapting from a larger SUV. I like the hybrid best for the fuel economy but most people should consider it just for the standard transmission to avoid that DCT with better gas mileage just as an added bonus. biggest miss on this refresh is the lack of AWD. Ironic that Kia refuses to call this a minivan, which it clearly is (calling it an MPV) but won't option one with AWD. mind boggling. lack of AWD isn't a deal breaker for me, but would have put it in closer contention against the Sienna.
@frankcoffey21 күн бұрын
I would go for the gas version. The hybrid just adds parts, weight, and future expense. Unless you drive a lot of miles per year the gas savings won't pay for that.
It looks like you are reviewing two models. One with captain chairs and one with three seats in the second row. Which one do you find more practical? I’m going to test drive one this week
@kbb21 күн бұрын
We thought the 8-seat version had more flexibility when it came to seating options. And with the captain's chairs you cannot remove them, so if you wanted to have the van exclusively for cargo that's not an option with the 7-passenger configuration!
