The 2022 Kia Carnival SX Prestige is a Multi-Purpose "Telluride" Inspired Family Vehicle

[@theredline]

Special thanks to Omaze for sponsoring this video! An M4 and a Carnival could be the perfect family garage, right? To potentially win the BMW and support a great cause, go to omaze.com/RRBMWM4. Remember that the MPV name after Carnival means "Multi-Purpose Van" 😉

Words that I've been hearing a lot lately from every-day folks, car reviewers and myself. (THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE CAR FROM KIA IN THIS SEGMENT) I absolutely agree. I've test driven some late model Kia's recently and everytime I walk away shocked, surprised, wowed and just more excited about driving a Kia vs other mainstream brands. There not perfect and there is some cost cutting in there somewhere but it seems to be in the right places if it's gonna be done. There is something about Kia's as of late where they just seem to be capturing all the right emotions. 👍Great review!

[@hispanicginger8744]

If it had a hybrid and awd version it’ll easily be a best seller in the segment hands down

[@PDiaz-mr3uj]

I couldn’t agree more. We’ll be in the market in the next couple of years and if Kia went hybrid and offered AWD, this would be my top pick.

[@persaud101]

Toyota owner ( proud Toyota millionaire)here and I bought the Carnival EX trim because it was the perfect blend of luxury and space and right in the middle. When I needed a 8 passenger road trip and two car car seat vehicle and space for my bicycles and kayaks and moving furniture and equipment between my buildings, I looked first at the biggest 3 row suvs and then mini vans... I test drive the Sienna and highlander, Telluride and Pallasides, Honda Pilot and oddessy. The only vehicle that blew me away and felt luxurious with space was this Carnival. It smooth over bumps, luxurious interior, high resolution touch 12 inch display with high resolution back up camera. Plenty of safety feature and well put together. Not to mention the 10 years 100k transmission warranty.. The GPS is one of the best I have ever have used and the UVO phone app that controls the kia Carnival is amazing ! It allows check your status of your car, location, unlock doors, trouble shoot etc and all from an app.. The Sienna hybrid power train was rough and jerky and power while sufficient you really had to floor it and then drops off immediately once your foot is off the pedal. The Carnival power train was powerful and smooth and was amazing. Although you will get will better mpg in the Sienna, I felt long roads trips and droning sound and rough transmission was not worth it vs a smooth luxurious suv like ride... Another annoying thing about Sienna when I was driving was infotainment system that was small and looked like something from 10 years ago and not to mention that horrible grainy back up camera on a 2021 Sienna.. I couldn't focus while test driving the Sienna looking at infotainment screen lol Not to mention they used a big fake platisticy trim in the central console that extend across the interior in the xle trim that felt super cheap... In all Carnival give the Carnival test drive and you will be surprised. So far I have been on two road trips and it all smooth and stress free... They got some of the best seats. The GPS and navigation is one of the best gps I have used ever in a car. 2000 happy miles so far!!

I’m a Toyota Lexus guy but I think I’m going to the only dealer in my area who has one - these look great- hopefully they have learned why some of there engines were wearing out before 100k heard they were missing some holes so the oil could flow in some spots (design flaw)

Looks like have changed their business model and geared towards long term reliability. Every auto maker has knowledge and know how to make a reliable vehicle; however, some auto makers choose not too in order to sell parts and labor as their business model. Selling a new is not very profitable for many auto makers. They make money from financing, parts and service after the vehicles is purchased. Kia and Hyundai and Mazda and may auto makers are changing from unreliable model to longetivity.

[@1nharris]

I got the first SX Prestige package when it hit Michigan. I absolutely love it and I don’t have kids but, my lease was coming up to end in a few months. I had to have it. I don’t regret it. I’ve had almost ever Kia minus sportage, soul, forte, and Soltus. I love the ride and room within it. Both sunroofs open and the seats OMG! I don’t think I can do another. I still have my 21 Sorento as well as 18 Optima. I always grab the key fob to my Carnival. I promise you if your thinking about it do it. No regrets!

[@linuphysio]

I myself from Canada has ordered the top most SX trim with reclining seats and waiting for the delivery. I really wish Kia kept the door handles like a normal SUV. As it has power doors, no need to place the handles like a mini van. It should've been a great SUV look without adjacent handles..Kia pls do it so in the future, also please find a way to hide those tracks. It's easily doable, weld a small long thin piece of metal over the moving part, when the door opens, the part pops up and out with the internal lever. When the door closes, it will close and hide the gap..

[@Stressless2023]

Didn't think a minivan could look better than the new Chrysler Pacifica until I saw this one. The Pacifica does still have a handful of advantages over this, and I do still think it looks pretty damn good for a van, but overall I think Kia really did raise the bar higher in almost every way.

[@de89456]

Yo I literally thought the same thing when I first saw this

[@seatime674]

I have a Pacifica and Paci is more of a quality thicker build and feels more tighter and the Paci engine is more smoother with less vibration, also feels more quality. The Carnival feels a little more Tinny though it's nice...

[@bradchoi9679]

It occurs to me that if automakers wanted to make their minivans look more like SUV's, all they have to do is move the handle for the sliding door to the rear of the door. They are pretty much all power operated anyway, and even if you have to operate it manually, it makes more sense to pull the door open from the rear than push it open from the front. So simple, but no manufacturer has done it yet.

I could only find 3 Carnivals within a 200 mile radius of Dallas-Fort Worth & only 1 within a 150 mie radius of him. There just wasn't any stock last week.
