2021 Kia Carnival / Sedona Review -Best looking Minivan EVER? Would you drive this minivan yourself? 

General public: We don’t like minivans. KIA: *Designs minivan to look like a lowered SUV.*

He attacked that corner with a van.. on public road. I like his style..!

Can we just take a moment to talk about the quality of the review and the effort that was put into it? Really underrated channel

Thats the best looking minivan I’ve ever seen, looks like an suv

This is my first time seeing this minivan and I already fell in love with it. I don't even have a family or kids but I'm seeing myself driving this as my daily.

This car made me wanna get married all of a sudden. And I am a coupe guy...

Im a married man with no kids and I’m thinking I want to buy this. It’s barely a mini van. Kia has been impressing me so much lately. Telluride, new sorento, k5, stinger, etc.

Love this minivan design. The little details are nice. I agree that the swing door rack could be hidden better. Overall, impressive performance. Thank you for including the horn sound. I would have liked to see the tail lights while in operation. Great review!

It's a sporty and luxurious minivan! I can't believe how it attacks corners. Kia and Hyundai cars are great!

You are an excellent reviewer! I also love how you push the limits of the performance around the corners on all the cars you drive - even on a minivan! 😂 Keep up the good work!

Asian petrohead, just AMAZING !!!!! I was one of your first subscribers, and watching so many of your videos, you journalistic professionalism and auto reviews are among the best! You’ve had practice, but you’ve come so far in automobile journalism. Do you ever think about becoming an auto consultant to one of the major car companies like Kia or Genesis?

I have an 06 that is fully loaded in great shape. It as a spur of the moment purchase after our 2016 Escape was totaled and in need of another vehicle asap for wife's medical appointments. We decided to keep it because of how amazing this vehicle has been for our family and is a nice ride than our 2016 Escape. It's so comfortable and solid.

I have a Telluride and would consider a Sedona except I want AWD. Love the front update and side view is pretty nice but it looks like they gave up on the back. The skinny solid brake light screams minivan! My favorite part of my Telluride is the design of the back. I wish they would of tried harder on the brake lights. Great channel, awesomely informative as always!

I had to do replay when he started talking about 11 seats

love how detailed you did the headlights/lamps, showing each. first time I've seen a reviewer do that.

Just amazing what Hyundai-Kia is doing, I’m really impressed

When he said it has a 2.2L Diesel engine I got excited...and then I remember I live in the US where they absolutely refuse to sell options that consumers want.

Me and my mother are super excited for this vehicle.

This is a beautiful minivan! I hope it does well in the U.S.A., it seems like Toyota , and Honda have the corner on the American market, but Kia has good reason to give them a run for their money! The all wheel drive option would be perfect for North America , especially in the winter! Kia has done a superior job on this Sedona! Thanks , for a great review Asian Petrolhead! God bless, James

The way you showing headlights and horn functioning is great.no one else does this in their car review.thanks buddy

Minivans these days aren't Minivans, They're spaceships

We have a 2011 Sienna /w over 100K miles. Shopping Telluride, and wait a minute.. now Sedona!?

child: "mom!! im late for soccer practice" mom: 1:20

Nice to see this since currently I only see the LX trim (entry level) being reviewed on RU-vid for the North American market.

Where KIA has come in recent years, it's just beyond belief.

Man, Kia did such a good job with the styling, and making the van not feel or look like a traditional minivan, this is something every minivan manufacturer should've been doing for the past 10 years now. The ONLY complaint that I have is of course no hybrid or AWD, so this might be a tough sell over the Telluride or Sorrento.

I think we need this “minivan” and into next Fast & Furious movie ...

Glad to see braking and acceleration stats tested! Informative review!

Greetings from North Carolina. Excellent review. Keep them coming!!!

I'm from Indonesia, I like the KIA brand. After seeing his newest car in 2021, it makes me even more in love.

*I love it and can’t wait to order one here in Canada* ❤️

When Charlie said he will drive the heck of that minivan, he wasn't kidding

I really like the Kia Sedona. Thank you for the review. I would prefer 7 seater configuration. I think it is more than enough. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨

Charlie thank you for entertaining feviews..your driving skills are phenomenal!! Almost wreckers but its a must to put these cars thru their paces!!! Good job my friend 👏

This Kia Carnival looks amazing! If Kia makes it a hybrid in the future, I will buy one!

Best Test Drive I've ever seen!!!🔥🔥🔥 He's ripping it, was considering 2021 Yukon since they made the 3rd row larger. But omg what?!!!

I've never been this in love with a Minivan design! I have the 2020 Creator GT and planning on getting a Telluride hopefully next year! I'm going to try and get my mom in the new Sedona so she can retire that old GMC.

I have kia forte5 its already 7 years driving it.i have no problem with it and power of engine so good.our baby coming soon this is the one were planning to get.cant wait!😍

Open all 3 doors at once, would be handy when someone farts.

I always wanted an suv but with mini van’s doors because of my kids..... now this is perfect🤩

I own a Kia Buy Kia You can't go wrong Great video Thank you 😊

I can't even believe how much better this is than the competition. The technology is absolutely phenomenal.

One of the best and detailed review!! Keep it up boss!!

As an owner of the 7 seater I have several comments. The Diesel engine is surprisingly fuel efficient and I’ve been getting excellent mileage. The engine doesn’t lack power and has been more than sufficient for passing other cars. I don’t like how the engine shuts off if you are stopped so I always turn this feature off. The front lacks sufficient storage space. A lot of the features are cool at first but I stopped using them because they got annoying. For example, the automatic trunk lift gate and the remote engine start. The surround view camera and lane change camera in the gauge cluster are really useful. I’m very pleased with the adaptive cruise control paired with lane keep assist. Auto hold is nice in heavy traffic. The rear signal lights are way too low and the rear lift handle is weirdly placed. Overall, I’m very pleased with the car and this being my first diesel, I’m pleasantly surprised at the energy efficiency.

Very smart of Kia to give it SUV looks with all the conveniences and features of a minivan!

Have watched all your videos since launch and was waiting for this drive, better than the previous model. You drive this vehicle like a regular SUV and that highlights the capability of this car that I've enjoyed so much. Its underrated because of its size and badge. Can't wait to replace my V6 2015 Sedona, it's the best family car.

Best looking minivan, yes, for sure! Love the fact that it still has the V6 as an engine. Toyota guy through and through but the new Sienna has a 4cyl hybrid...

Very detailed, very informative as well as nicely made review. Thanks a lot! Wish that car would be available here in Germany as well.

Man, I'd get this to ferry me and my friends around to party on the weekends

Hi Charlie! Thanks for another fun and practicality review! Just a comment/thought: Though it may be "smart" for the van to take a voice command to roll down the window, it'd be a two step process involving reaching high to press a button then speak into it hoping it'd catch the voice....so it may be much wiser for the passenger just to press the regular button ONCE on the door and be done with it LOL! Some tech are meant to simplify our lives, others are there for us to buy extra/claim warranties hahaha!! Anyway, thanks again!

Kia Sedona 2021 so beautiful I love Kia ❤️

Love the rear (side) window (C) pillar treatment, with the squared off (A) pillars at the top.

2.2L with AWD that would be the perfect family car 😊

Next little one on the way....time to become a soccer dad. I was looking up the seating configuration options...amazing. Thanks from the States!

Wow, the Sedona looks more like a crossover than a minivan.

And I'd want the 9-seat version like you Charlie!...The remote opening of all 2 sliding doors & lift-gate at same time is my fav' feature amazing tech' !

2.2L diesel.... that could be a game chnager for them in US market

Beautiful. With the Toyota Sienna going hybrid, the Sedona now becomes my top pick.

This + 4WD + lifted = super minivan. You're welcome Kia (Delica exists, lol)

I had a friend that drove a 2010ish Kia minivan, pretty sure a sorrento. He would push it so hard and it took everything he gave it. I was and guess still am a fan of the Kia minis. Literally they go so hard. Seeing this guy swang that thang is hilarious and exactly how a Kia mini should be driven. Too good

WoW!! That is a good looking “SUVan”

We drive a kia minivan and we are so upgrading to this as soon as its available here in Canada!

Kia: this is a really smart design. Great MiniVan.

How amazing is this car !!! I would like it with 11 seats.

That is unrecognisable from earlier models. You've gotta stop calling it a minivan. It's a winner

I feel like if you are gonna go minivan you go all out. Get this vehicle at top of the line trim with all the bells and whistle and with the 9 seats option. I can imagine trading in the fully loaded Sante Fe XL for this minivan to have more space for passengers and for traveling luggage when used for trips. I am a little taller at 6’4 but this model still seems like I would be comfortable as the driver and passenger in at least the first two rows of this model. It may not compete with the size and look of an Escalade ESV or Yukon Denali but for a minivan model, this looks sporty and has the ability to provide space and comfort in a vehicle that comes off generally as unappealing and family oriented. This looks to have much more promise in customer satisfaction than let’s say how the Ford Flex turned out. I like the concept, I’m glad it is here and would like to test drive one soon. Thanks @AsianPetrolhead to getting as close as possible in your last two videos to the full experience of getting to touch and feel out this new model.

Hey Charlie, there are photos of the GV70 circulating here in the U.S, you have any update on that? Much thanks for what you do.

Such a nice way of explaining everything, appreciated

11 seater? Finally, Russian families who decide 5 kids isn't enough can cruise to church in one vehicle!

What I like is that Petrohead drives every car like a race car. 😁😁😁😀

Did he just “Tokyo drifting “ with that “minivan” ?

The 11 seat configuration would sell in Utah if you already know why, and regulars with large families. So the 11 seat configuration should be fine as an optional feature.

Bring the diesel here and I'd buy one for my wife in a heartbeat!

Hey. I like when you step up from the rear sunroof. It means hanging or taking stuffs on the roof are way more easy.

fantastic english ability, very impressive.

I always watch each of your car reviews if im not mistaken. I like Kia products at this time.And also It used to be Kia Telluride was our favorite but now Me and my wife like as equal as Sedona which is now you're reviewing it. But if KIA makes AWD for Sedona then we definitely go with it without any confusion on choosing between the two cars. I can't wait to see this Sedona(exactly same Design) in USA. Keep it up! I'd like to see more car review from you. Nice and classy review 👌🏆

Imagine driving and then seeing a minivan being skirted.

11 sounds about right. We have two dogs, 6 adults, and guests all the time. We’ll need this after COVID. 😛

Nice shades 😁

Alwayes love kia cars Now i have kia sorento And i bought kia carens for my father He is so happy with it Thanks kia...

That’s one handsome van, well done Kia🤙🏼

This needs to come to America , such a great looking minivan !

is this good looking minivan with same features for US and Canada?

Chrysler Pacifica has Competition now.. What a come back for Kia!!! 🚐💨

Borat stole "very nice" from Asian Petrolhead lol

You make some of the best car reviews on the web!!!

The Sedona is a better looking Lincoln Navigator that's been lowered.

I WANT ONE SO BAD!!! For the first time a minivan that looks like an SUV LOOOOOOVE IT.. Im an American KIA FAN still have my 2004 KIA AMANTI.. OPIRUS ... and Im NOT OLD!

Hello Sir I hope KIA gets this van to INDIA along with BTS Tour Let me tell me one think sir that your approach is very practical 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

33mpg in the city and 43mpg highway!!! I thought the 2021 Sienna was the best at 36mpg combined. This information changes a lot of things. Now what I want for 2022 Sedona is AWD and a HUD to make it complete for my 9 member squad team.

11 wow

Ordered one SX trim and waiting for the delivery in Toronto. Great review. Thanks.

we all know what you gonna do with SPORT MODE

Oh my Charlie this vehicle looks great, has very modern/premium look almost like SUV, but still has that mini-van look pioneered by Chrysler back in the day. Luv the Kia designs a lot, great tech' & luxury. I almost bought a New Kia Sorento in 2019 before deciding on my 2019 Tucson Ultimate. And Kia is consistently at the TOP of initial quality & reliability surveys, along with Hyundai of coarse. Great job Charlie as usual my friend!...👍

I think you just like saying "kia, sedona" lol

Haha..love how you drive the test vehicles to the limits. You should be reviewing super cars. Next time i’m in the market for a minivan to drift, i will be sure to test a Kia. Great job!

Give us some negatives too! Can't be all positive all the time! Otherwise it's not a 'review' but rather feels like an ad

Great car! It looks fantastic! I love the amount of leg room and head room in the back seat (not the 3rd row seat), which is the biggest thing we are looking for. My retired husband and I have six cars and trucks. We are both tall, so when we are comfortably seated in the front seat of our our biggest, roomiest car, a Dodge Durango SUV, there's almost no leg room for rear seat passengers, and if we have 3rd seat passengers (very rare) they have o.k. legroom, but not enough headroom unless they are kids. Very disappointing for such a big SUV. Our other vehicles have either no back seats at all, or barely any rear seat space, so if we want to drive someplace with friends or family members, we have to hope that their car has room for us. When you have six vehicles, at least one of them should be comfortably accommodate four passengers!

That is the nicest looking MInivan I've ever seen!

I always tell my self I'd never drive a mini van but this one is an exception. It's sexy AF.
