Hyundai Palisade v Kia Carnival comparison: SUV or People Mover? | Wheels Australia 

That's definitely not what she said mate!

I will never buy another Kia. Period. We contacted the Kia Corporate office to help with an issue we had after our car broke down on the side of the interstate 2 times after being serviced at 2 different Kia dealerships, Langdale Kia in Valdosta and Crown Kia in Saint Petersburg. Kia Corporate gave us the run around, telling us they would send our service request upper management to have it approved. After 3 weeks, they finally told us that no our car wasn’t under warranty! What?! It’s like they didn’t even read what we submitted. Kia doesn’t know how to fix their own vehicles and doesn’t care if they break down multiple times. This has been a horrible experience. Now we have a car we own that can’t be repaired since Kia doesn’t even know how to fix it.

@@asfdafasdfwfrg it seems it's more of a dealership or corporate which depends on region than issues with the actual vehicle.. all vehicle manufacturers get some gremlins from time to time, was it in or outside warranty and what model vehicle

@@asfdafasdfwfrg if you are in california, you can take it to HQ directly and have them trade in your car for another

@@asfdafasdfwfrg kia and hyundai management are both shit. A hyundai dealder stole my tires (replaced my good condition tires with worn out ones of different size!). Hyundai just shrugged and said "meh"

its just not technically possible on the Carnival's platform

All those mechanics that needed for AWD is not possible for the carnival set up.

@@fcex558 Thanks for your comprehensive answer. My question was aimed more at the Wheels Australia team who prepared this "review". They didn't do their homework and judged the Palisade on its appearance rather than its actual dimensions. Calling it a "plus-size SUV" scares away people who might otherwise put it on their shortlist. The Palisade is certainly on my shortlist. We get just two engine/transmission options in Australia: V6 2WD or 2.2L turbo diesel FWD, both with the same 8-speed auto. I'd be choosing the diesel due to petrol prices here. FWD is not on my must-have list; no snow where I live and good roads where I travel. For these reasons the diesel Carnival makes sense as well; more space, greater interior flexibility with the removable second row. Kia also comes with a 7-year warranty versus 5-year for Hyundai. Unfortunately the Carnival was rushed to market here without auto wipers and without the in-dash blind-spot camera. It sounds like you're satisfied with the Palisade. What did you have before the Hyundai? Stay safe and watch out for the black ice and of course COVID.

diesel

if you don't mind spending money on petrol (like say, drives it locally and occasionally long distance), V6 is a nice one to have, diesel is a little slugish and loud

RHD Carnival is getting a digital dash next year.

Australia doesn't have Telluride

why is the exact same comment made by different users? are you guys bots? lmao

Price.

@@kunimitsu100 the kia is more expensive..

@@ciwanbagdas6827 They're both comparable as a Platinum Carnival is in the 60K range and so is the base model Palisade. This is a fair comparison between your 8-seater options at $60k range - It's stated multiple times if you prefer the Hyundai and want more kit you can spend more money and get a Palisade Highlander.

@@kunimitsu100 no, the carnival platinum is a 70k car..

$69,990*
