@carConfections 8:00 Please use the same audio tracks when comparing. The whole comparison is useless when there are different tracks going on.

[@thewholenewworld3998]

i switched 2016 sienna limited to 2024 carnival sxp. now it is over 50k mileage but has been never regret to having this change.

[@gurjotsingh1809]

For someone buying Minivan, Cargo space behind 3rd row matters. Carnival has way larger Space compared to Sienna. Therefore Carnival is the winner for me.

[@hakualex]

I don't Like that the new sienna can't fold the 2nd row down.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Kind of surprised you fellas did not speak to the occupant detection system which is new in state of the art, And new to Toyota. A huge standard safety system

[@leifc6639]

My 2022 Carnival already had that...

[@jonathanratliff4780]

@ talking about abandoned vehicle with warnings to automated phone text warnings and if no response in 10.min a call to 911 via automated message with GPS location. This is most advanced yet.

[@RobertShock1989]

I think Kia looks better, but Toyota definitely carries better quality, but I will say Kia has their quality getting better year over year

[@chuckechezona4053]

Toyota Sienna always the Winner to all other Minivans and unlike Kia Toyota has better Fuel Milage TOYOTA THE CHAMPS ALL DAY EVERY DAY 😎😎

[@sanjeevakki]

100% getting one this Weekend!

[@double_bacon]

The only thing toyota was lacking was the technology. With the new infotainment system, it’s not even a competition. sienna all day

[@변동국-f2q]

Two months ago I & my wife traveled from CA to MN along 2000 Sienna (round trip, about 4,000 miles), absolutely No any problem. Always thank our sienna. The key point would be RELIABILTY & LONGEVITY.

[@colbyharries4557]

What about driver assist features like cruise control and highway driver assistance? Highlighting ancient technology like vacuum cleaner, cooling compartment, and storage seems like a stretch when considering a $7.5k up front price difference.

[@Jallelab99141]

this 100%. the self drive/cruise control feature on carnival is tesla level for pre-mapped highways.

[@Car_conversati0nz]

Nice comparison! Been waiting for this one

[@airbus7373]

I love the new Toyota Seinna :)

[@Doorcloserpro]

Which one will last 20 years? Which one has longer range? Which one has better resale value?

[@guardianextreme141]

Just so you know, I love your guys' vids! keep up the great work :)

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Iwilltravelforfood]

Just Picked up my 2025 Sienna XSE black on black on black, love it! Great gas mileage with reliability and holds it value like you wouldn’t believe, Carnival can kick rocks! 😎

[@mattdude]

I like that they shape the carnival almost like a palisade

[@kevinnguyen8923]

Thanks for the info

[@rayrivera187]

I hate doing this, but I must point out that SIENNA was misspelled on the thumbnail…😖 Sorry, I can’t help it… OCD taking over… Great review though. My money would go to the Sienna.

[@WorkInProgress139]

Great video, guys! This comparison is great! The Carnival came out not long after I bought my '21 Sienna, and I went and looked at them just to see. Regardless of tech and splitting hairs over cargo and what not, what affects me the most when I travel, whether it be around town or long-distance, is fuel economy. The Sienna won hands down. Top it off with AWD and, believe it or not, nice towing characteristics, and I don't see how it gets much better. Sorry, but I'm not impressed by big screens or fancy wheels. What I need is a good way to get myself and my family around.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@joypatel-x3h]

Thanks you very much for the information but awd sienna is the best and it has awd and it has fridge and built in vacuum.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Toyota Sienna is a solid choice! It's got that spacious interior and great for families or road trips.

[@ToyotaChrisWI]

Seat side airbags in second row is the reason the seats cannot be removed. +.5 😊

[@bubbehaqaa6290]

Sienna all the way!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent comparison of two excellent vehicles!

[@vedatakgun]

Fantastic review. Just curious really bad: what vehicle were you in at the end of the video with orange looking seats? Thank you folks.

[@larrybowers8323]

Third time the charm? looking at the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit edition actually looks to be correct. Sorry for all the wrong guesses up front.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! It's a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2025 (review coming soon)

[@MapleGX550]

Not even comparable. Sienna all the time.

[@chezzyperson3339]

Toyota is also increasing Sienna production by 20%

[@YTYTYTY7]

The new sienna roof is too low. I cannot even get in without ducking.

[@double_bacon]

@@YTYTYTY7it’s not like you can get into the carnival without ducking😂

[@donkedic1]

How dare anyone call the kia a “minivan”! It’s an MPV, people.

[@bigron694]

Not if you have a full car and going uphill at the slightest incline. Van is struggling and RPMs sound Iike hamsters yelling for help!! LOL.

[@Jallelab99141]

What about the driver assist package on the Carnival that can drive itself on pre-mapped highways? Thats a big feature.

[@yankeesusa1]

If buying new and if you want a van for people and better tech, Kia wins. Better warranty and better seats and options. But if buying used then sienna may be better option due to reliability. It's a tough choice.

[@PrinceGyasi81]

Finally the two Kings has meett!🤝

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

Kia is garbage

[@PrinceGyasi81]

@ibrahimbashir6634 Disagree!

[@PrinceGyasi81]

I love both of them especially the sienna but the Carnival is not bad at all ❤️

[@MapleGX550]

@@ibrahimbashir6634Agree.

[@yazars]

When will Kia fix the battery drain issues for Carnivals once and for all for all owners? Warranty isn't so useful if people's cars keep sitting at the dealers.

[@VenkataSandeepPolavarapu-q2p]

What is the car you guys are sitting in during the conclusion statements are made

[@CarConfections]

It's a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L In the review is coming soon 👍

[@DavidEstebandeLeonoraLeonoraLe]

I love you the minivans❤❤❤

[@sawyerzhang]

For me, no second row bench seat is deal breaker

[@hotdogs5265]

Even if i got a free new Kia, i would sell it and buy a used toyota.

[@captainron9143]

How about an occasional video either towing or loaded w/people or gear

[@jvddavid1589]

Sienna all day..hands down..

[@Mydailylifeintoronto]

Hope turbo engin won’t be burning more oil

[@andio310]

Super slide is key!

[@xvrickhchips]

Theta II engines that burned oil right around 100k for Kia/Hyundai will spook people for a long time. Then, you have a higher car insurance rates due to the Kia/Hyundai thefts. And the new Carnival, gas and hybrid, has a battery drain issue. Will you wake up with a working vehicle in the morning, or are you going to need a jump? Or possibly even a new battery? And dealerships have been holding on to Carnivals for WEEKS trying to diagnose the component draining the battery. The Kia dealership would have to offer me 60% the price of a similar level Sienna before I would buy one. I don't care what technology is in it, or how much better I feel it looks. The reliability is not there.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Don’t tell this to Naveen 😂

[@carscrazy9870]

Wait, it looks like they were sitting in a grand Wagoneer does that mean that they’re going to review the grand Wagoneer next?

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Besides long term reliability and AWD/gas mileage I really don't think the Sienna really has much over Kia. Kia is making some really nice cars. Having said that, long term car to take my family across the state etc? There's no other car I trust more than a Toyota.

[@dsturbed2c]

What? Reliability, Drivetrain, and gas mileage are gigantic factors for most families. Usually the biggest factors, actually. Kia loves to be flashy no doubt.

[@countbackfrom10]

I’d say those are pretty key factors for a car though.

[@badkid73]

But reliability is #1 unless you are leasing. The Kia is the better vehicle except for reliability, and the 2.5L naturally aspirated hybrid drivetrain and eCVT transmission on the Sienna is proven and bulletproof.

[@hanguyen-fk9jp]

The crash test rating is better as well

[@wjgoggin]

@@dsturbed2c If you dig into the reliability of these models, the Carnival is more reliable than the Sienna. As a make, Toyota has better reliability than Kia, but the Sienna is not their best work. Of course, the customer perception, based on make reliability, undeniably helps resale on the Sienna. Each has problems that are frequently complained about. For Sienna, it's leaky skylights, and for Carnival, it's battery drain. However, you can find issues for any vehicle.

[@hawaiisoxfan]

Price points awarded don’t take into account the added features the Sienna has over the Carnival: hybrid, AWD, vacuum, cool box. You should take that into account when valuing the price difference.

[@CarConfections]

That's what all the rest of the points are for

[@tahran5782]

That's nice but I could also get a fully electric Kia EV9 and get all of that with an option package I don't really like minivans although they are nice but I'm not such of a minivan fan

[@wnenzallqe4747]

Where is Naveen

[@jonathanratliff4780]

He will be here soon 🤣🤣

[@OPC249]

The kia has an orange handlebar mustache

[@leifc6639]

I find the Sienna pretty ugly. But I'd still consider it because of reliability, but here in Canada, waiting time for a Sienna is over 2 years. That's ridiculous. No way I'm waiting that long for a car...

[@altamashparwaiz2097]

The only thing toyota lacks is styling

[@RellupNorth]

The Siennas rims are horrendous lmao

[@jonathanratliff4780]

I guess color of lipstick some matter to you as well… How superficial can one be good grief

[@massi2611]

niceee

[@naveenthemachine]

Carnival every day. Sienna is overrated overpriced and too compromised for a minivan

[@9globalize]

That faux wood center looks so ugly

[@taymuraz2000]

Please be a bit faster...

[@Iwilltravelforfood]

Tried and True doesn’t exist in any aspect with Kia, what are yal talking about? Lol

[@cowtowncat1821]

lol no comparison only low payment wanting people will try to justify the Kia. It fails at every other metric

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

*SIENNA*

[@TheKingkingg]

King is Odyssey.
