Still The Ultimate Big Family Vehicle (Kia Carnival 2024 Review)

Detailed review and test of the facelifted 2024 Kia Carnival including engines, price, interior, practicality, driving and more.
The Kia Carnival has an 80% market share among people mover vans in Australia. Aside from more expensive and posh options from Volkswagen or Mercedes, the Kia is one of the last vehicles available in this segment.
The other reason that is true is because the Carnival is so good it basically killed off the Honda Odyssey. And now, the fourth-gen Carnival has been facelifted. There is a new hybrid engine available which we will test soon. Carryover engines include a V6 petrol and turbo four-cylinder diesel.

Pretty cool family car

[@boonswithbenedictions8468]

Pretty 😍 large and luxurious vehicle.

[@KIN350O]

Dealers are still quoting 9-12 months or more for V6 variants. Do you guys know if the supposed 3 months covers everything or just the 4 banger?

[@kodessa]

So does Kia have two designs in their range? One from the EV9, and the other from the EV5 that waters down onto their other cars?

[@pawlovez]

So GT line lite does not have a rotary tranmission control?

[@bobsonlin123]

Can you take out the second row seats?

[@rahul20061982]

I am still waiting for AWD model😢

[@fifiandmax]

Front seat cooling on GT Line is practical for hot climates

[@Mav_F]

Has heating, too. I think it has steering wheel heating, too.

[@EatTwinkies13]

It's the south Korean version that's the ultimate family vehicle, which is not available in the US

[@JosieJo2000]

Would have been good to show removal of the centre seat in the second row.

[@sandipkhangar3841]

India Lounch Date...???

[@jonathanchai8702]

They need to fix the crappy speed sign recognition

[@jwc3104]

Is there AWD version?

[@Desperate4changing]

Nope

[@seapen9608]

The map updates are questionable.

[@MrTonifumi]

Nobody ever mentions the Speedo and tacho should be swapped. I don't want to get used to poor ergonomics. How much would it cost to allow the user to swap them? At least the Koreans don't cheap out on the turn signal stalks like the Europeans.

[@drumswest5035]

So this is basically a van?

[@disneybuyseverything9010]

Do more Mahindra cars

[@santafe4510]

Such overrated car and brand 😂😂
