carwow i really like your review videos. You haven't reviewed Kia Grand Carnival & Honda Odyssey. Just waiting those reviews to come up

I have had one of these for 7 years and 105.000kms in December and it has never missed a beat.Service intervals are 2years or 30.000kms!.Fuel consumption is 5.6l /100km.To put it simply it is the most practical,reliable and cheapest car in its class.We looked at the Alhambra and Galaxy but they were 10k euros more for less spec models at the time. I have had over 55 cars and most of them German(BMW,Audi,Mercedes,VW) but never again.

[@ahmedtaqiyya8361]

I have one of these. The 'third row seat belt hits you in the face' gag at 5.15 is false. Mine is regularly full of grandchildren and the rear seats often in use. The clever maganetic anchor point is in the roof about a foot forward of them and obviously goes over the shoulder of the passenger in the middle of the second row. It goes no where near anyone's face. In fact the belting arrangement in my excellent (I will be back) 1.7 DCT is more intuitive and sensible than it was in the complete shite 2012 VW Touran I had previously, whose gearbox failed at 71,000 - after a load of other reliability issues.

[@mightyOmouse]

Wait, UK uses litres for water bottles but gallons for petrol?

[@ThisIsMTH]

Yup

[@Everett02]

Yes, we're weird. We also use miles an hour instead of kilometres per hour

[@mightyOmouse]

TheRealLB I know that, but I thought you guys are Imperial all the way! Had no idea you use metric at all.

[@misterosc]

Well you're no longer in the EU so you can more than ever do what you want

[@danilogonzalezmx]

sounds stupid right?

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

Why do reviewers make such an issue about the lack of space in the third row of seats. If you regularly need 7 seats you'd get a minibus. There really for 5 with optional 2seats for the kids friends. Also the petrol head reviewers always criticize driveability but normal people will thoroughly enjoy it.

[@pjkr123]

I remember the time that carens were just a car's name rather than a term

[@ethanmees2618]

I love it when you do 5 good and bad things, it makes me want to continue watching :)

[@jamesbensch6]

This car has a 10 year warranty here in Canada

[@t0urniquet]

Why is it that nobody else is talking about Matt's short short shirt? you can never get enough of that right? n.n

[@sbomorse]

He's hot!

[@maurico92]

Hahah i was thinking the same thing ! 1:40 Damn haha

[@carwow]

He's just not worked out how to use his washing machine properly yet…

[@t0urniquet]

+carwow well then I'm glad he doesn't know! haha ;-)

[@alimechs]

and also at 2:38

[@chrisharrylouis2511]

In India Kia carnival is there. It is a 7 seater mpv. It is very comfy for adults in the 3rd row seats.

[@prayerpowersr854]

is this car going to be available in the UK? or does south Korea need to agree on a trade deal first?

[@lavykhurana]

hahaha

[@haz525]

It is in the uk.....

[@kanyeeast9822]

Holy shit OG Carwow, Mat, hits hard

[@haydenfyfe885]

A 7 Seat MPV of the Kia Carens is very boxey. It has the best features with the latest technology and ridehandling and aerodynamics.

[@KazimKassam]

I'd always rather watch Mat Watson reviewing a Kia MPV, than watch CarBuyer's review of the Focus RS. In short, Mat's the best.

[@alexdrumzy]

I got a question, this car really has the noise canceling inside? I couldn't find info about that but have the car:) and, I like it!

[@dahmenpiotraschke9236]

Why does the US not have this car? The Sedona needs a baby brother. The used Rondos of last decade are everywhere, and a hot item on the used car circuit.

[@Memories-_]

I love spotting the easter egg. This one was real easy though! Korean song Korean car!

[@mustsilm]

Are you going to review the new Mazda MX 5 and what about the Levorg? I would have asked for the new Giulia also but i see it comes to uk in autumn. So tough luck with that one for now.

[@KeyanTravel]

Hi Matt, would you be able to do a review of the Kia Sedona (carnival). Really like your videos with practicality.

[@nickcobra4638]

With its small size I don't think that it should compete with larger mpvs like the c4 Picasso. I also feel this car was made at the wrong time as would be a strong competitor for our 2013 Vauxhall Zafira B

[@abbaskhuram502]

I’m thinking to buy this kia for Uber taxi

[@jacobcolicchio4891]

In Canada we call the Kia carens the Kia Rondo and my aunt has a red 2016 Kia rondo ex

[@melcanuck5951]

"Kia Carens 7 Seater 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews" "Published on Jun 24, 2016" 2018 model reviewed in 2016.... wow - time traveller !

[@rajeshgupta6012]

Bought kia carens,now in india....fantastic 1

[@umutgezer8557]

7 years after it looks like the review was a bit shite, as the car is cheaper and better than its rivals. the rivals don't give even warranties anymore.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Cramped 7 seater MPV. It's better than no seats in the third row.

[@achwal]

same space in the toyota verso

[@description662]

Sorry Matt, I like this car, I have a non sporty version and it's given me peace vs the Merc which I should have booked for a demolition show!

[@mzuzs6861]

What other competitors does this car have ? I dont think there's many

[@georgershwin]

Silly question: does the second-row middle seat (in the model in the video) have a tether/anchor point to put a baby seat?

[@ajmotovideos6779]

Yea. Best to check with the car seat manufacturer whether it is compatible with this car though

[@ryannjoshi]

It's called rondo in canada

[@Drako9874]

Hi Mat. You say the design inside is "a little bit boring". Sorry, but I definitely have to disagree with you there. A VW Touran is boring inside. Since Peter Schreyer and Thomas Bürkle (formerly VW/Audi) and Alfred Biermann (formerly BMW M-GmbH) switched to Hyundai/Kia, the Koreans have been building much nicer and better cars than the German manufacturers. But unfortunately this fact has still not reached the masses :( I also like to remember the Video by Martin Winterkorn (VW) at the IAA in Frankfurt 2011 at Hyundai: "There's nothing rattling." Why can they do it and we can't?

[@WondrousExplorer]

The new Carens launched in India seems to be more spacious than the older one.

[@Aariz-er2lg]

can you review the kia caren 2024

[@swiggityswoater4191]

The “ carens” the exact people that would drive these

[@lachlancook6718]

You can't tell that Mat just got a new sponsorship deal with Psy can you. Very subtle.

[@misterosc]

The easter egg was clearly your bum at 2:42

[@azerkdd]

Mat i love your reviews. Will there be a review for ford ka?

[@MatWatsonCars]

Not yet. Later in the year maybe

[@Everett02]

There releasing the new ford Ka soon so u could do a review on that.

[@quinnstar6846]

What would you say is the best compact mpv

[@lambor172]

The third seat is designed for tax deduction benefits in Korea

[@Adeodatus56]

mat,can you please review the cx 5?thanks

[@bid84]

Hi Mat you should start reviewing Trabants and rickshaws in light of Britain's new economic standing.

[@c.i.a.4618]

*Behold! The Karen Mobile!*

[@петърйорданов-й8г]

top MPV...period !!!! Bravo KIA !!!!

[@rishikeshchoudhary4700]

Are you going to have your hands on the BMW 7 series or a comparo b/w the luxury saloons?

[@Horizon301.]

The executive class is the a6, 5 series and e class not the a8,XJ, 7 series and sclass. I have requested the 7 series and Sclass but who know when it will be reviewed, I saw one in real life I guess that's better

[@rishikeshchoudhary4700]

Chatta290 fine brother? Yup, I also feel the same!

[@carwow]

Hopefully in the next couple of months

[@Horizon301.]

carwow okay great.

[@GrahamReid34]

It's a great car!

Great car! Miles better than a Golf + for example 🎉 My uncle now drives a carens and it’s great! Especially after his crappy VW Golf 😅

It's very dark in the back, needs lighter materials or a panoramic sunroof

[@muhammadhuzaimmalik546]

The new one has a panoramic sunroof

It's releasing in India and we are excited as if its a new model 😂😂

[@4chankrozb]

Hey you, you forgot to say something about gearbox

[@axxoaxx288]

why no kia sedona 2018/2017 review?

[@jgreen8339]

I don't think it's offered in the UK

[@daveyenjan1387]

I dont think they ever review full size MPV. I,m agree with you, why no Kia Sedona.

[@iBatsha]

Dream car for me in Indonesia

[@giovannigiorgio1536]

"Ok Karen" - I thought he said at the very beginning. 😃

[@johngoubran9563]

I'm buying that car tomorrow

[@Davve2210]

Why are you calling seats chairs?

[@jsmfnt]

The car looks like it wants to speak to the manager

[@wierdify3069]

oh its a karen but spelt caren

[@peteg8920]

Obviously ? , the 3rd row seats are for smaller children

[@mrlover4310]

I have one outside parked as a courtesy car it is absolutely horrible to drive the cabin is too dark it judders when you take off it's slow it's absolutely horrible.

[@TheAlexpuncea]

In this historic day of the Brexit, I'm watching your review of the Kia Carrots and it's still entertaining. Keep it up!

[@Firemarioflower]

*Carens* Don't mock with that car, congratiolations with your regained souvereignity but you shouldn't underestimate the Kia.

[@Aswinishere]

What brexit? It's 2019 and you're still in Europe

[@lauraharrington3296]

You said a stroller doesn't fit when all seat are up ... yes it does .. my McLaren fits fine and all the kids belongings too . So that's rubbish!!!!!!!!

[@muhammadhuzaimmalik546]

Your McLaren?

[@Wilbur-em1hw]

This car wants to have a word with the Manager.

[@kevinkalibar4443]

Mat is that your mx5?

[@carwow]

No, his is the far superior Mk2. Supercharged. It even works sometimes.

[@kevinkalibar4443]

ha, cheers

[@dejanvanevski4399]

Very nice car.Go Kia

[@ahmedtaqiyya8361]

I've got one. It's fine, I'd go back for another. I used to own a VW Touran, it cost a fortune in repairs, and the DQ200 auto box finally packed up at 71,000 miles. The Carens has never given me any trouble in the two years I've owned it except for a failed tailgate strut which was fixed under warranty.

[@d0718]

Focus RS review on Carbuyer and THIS on Carwow? Should be the other way

[@ThisIsMTH]

Still watching this one first

[@MatWatsonCars]

Yeah. Sorry about that. We have filmed the car but the vid won't be for two weeks. Still it will be worth it, promise you. Hopefully you will like the vid we release tomorrow.

[@d0718]

MatWatsonCars we definitely will, thank you for making amazing reviews even when the cars are boring :)

[@DanielDaniel-kh6bv]

my favourite reviewer. but do you notice that while he's showing the interior he always get exhausted. he barely breathe well

I was just so excited by the Kia. It made me pant.

[@mrthomas2000]

in my opinion your carbuyer videos were better. You need to catch your breath, use cut aways, don't do it all with one shot.

[@ethanmees2618]

I think the ford galaxy is a bit better value for money.

could u review the pajero

Are the koreans short people cause the 3rd row seats are a joke for european market. Shame. It looks nice compared some other MPVs. Particularly the likes of Touran which have boxy styling.

[@lavykhurana]

3rd set of seats usually are not meant for adults in general (most cars).

If only Mat sees the cheap-MPV name Sienta by Toyota. That is so crappy!

[@eddiej1980]

This guy whinged his way through the entire review. Try driving a zafira grand tourer for example. Shite engine and notchy gears. Or a grand Picasso. Absolute cheap rubbish with hellish dashboard. Grand cmax. Had one as a courtesy car and it was rough with absolutely terrible fuel economy. The carens is by far a cut above most 7 seaters unless you go into Q7 or Range Rover territory
