2022 Kia Carnival Review: Minivans are cool! | CarGurus 

Nitpicking much! lol

@@Betamax84 the moment you hit one of those with your knee is the moment that becomes a big deal

Not sure how they are even legal

Cmon man...there's trade offs in everything. You want Hybrid? that's going to take up room. Look at the Sienna. Great...35mpg. At what cost? You want to drive that sluggish lethargic 4 cyl for that big of a vehicle? you want that CVT? It ain't worth it. Plus the battery takes up valuable cargo, which is why the Sienna ls last in class cargo room. And I mean it's a lot compared to the Carnival. I get 28-29mpg on the 3 long road trips that I've taken with the Carnival. I'll take that all day. A car this size needs and deserves a proper V6. I can afford $5/gal gas. What I can't afford is stepping on the gas to accelerate to pass and hear that loud CVT growl like it wants to be a HEMI engine. No. Thank you. As for AWD? Sure...it might be handy 5-6 times out of the year. But it'll decrease your MPG..plus it's expensive to maintain. Minivans have survived for decades with FWD. It's going to find a way to survive. Now if you have AWD..Hybrid..with a V6 and the cargo that the Carnival would give you (top in class), then I will consider. Until then....this is still the winner.

@@vuville514 Let me guess you don't live in the Pacific Northwest, the upper midwest, or New England where AWD is "handy (far more often than) 5-6 times out of the year." And yes, "minivans have survived for decades with FWD." But that survival rate amounts to 2% of vehicle sales as SUV's nearly all of which offer AWD have driven minivans off the market.

I hate them also, I would thought they would have gotten over that trend by now, looks so cheap.

ha, love the black rims, much more trendy than silver.

My dad has the Black LX '22 with the seat package I'm going to buy from him soon I have to keep the silver rims if I put black rims it'll look like Darth Vader😅

10 YEAR WARRANTY THOUGH.

Its the 4th generation carnival

​@@TOBYH5yr 60 and 10yr 100 they can fix any bugs

It will be next year with the plug-in hybrid version.

Kia sold between 13,000-18,000 minivans per year for the last 3 years. Not sure if they will spend the money to make more trims. I’d love a PHEV though

That's fine!! It's a new car. It's when manufacturers DON'T recall their products that we have a problem. Yup, I'm looking at you Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat/Jeep and Mitsubishi!

What recall?

@@Wareaglegirl9960 First run 2022 Carnivals had a bad fuel rail that leaked. Kia recalled anyone that had one and proactively fixed any before they were sold in June and beyond. My Carnival was purchased in July. No recall because Kia addressed the problem before the vehicle was delivered to the dealer

@@dragonlips2005 thank you. I got mine June 5th

@@Wareaglegirl9960 You’re good. Kia would have corrected the issue before sending it to your dealer.

No car from KIA is worth $46,000 dollars...since the pandemic US Trucks shot up from $35-40,000 to $75-8000 talk about price gouging..

@@jimdavis3895 What are you talking about? You do realize that different trim levels come with different prices, right? You can still get a $30,000 truck if you don't load up on options and features.

and u have driven this new vehicle ?? the Sedona i know were firm if u when with 19" rims but the 18 and 17" were great gave really good handling while still comfortable

@@joebrown9621 it’s not bumpy I drove it yesterday

Can you prove it ?

@@kelvinbanikikadjama4052 according to Hyundai KIA. yes you can.

It was related to a certain 4 cylinder power plant as per the recall -this one is a v6

😆😅 engines don't just catch fire.. write the fine print.. the owner run most of them out of oil and half poor maintenance the engine seized some engines punched a hole in the block the oil is what caught fire, even Cat engine do it trust mi 😁

pure FUD mate.

meh, it would reduce the rear space and storage having the rear diff

In Korea the trim on this model says Carnival on the left side of the back door and it says LIMOUSINE on the right side.

I agree but I am getting one MAYBE

Its called the carnival for years overseas. Here in australia it's an family car name icon.
