Kia Carnival Minivan

[Warstud]

I seen one of these last night when I was shopping and liked it so much I had to do a walkaround. Love the styling.

@dareo. Is the current carnival barker. Only thing is I hate the new Kia logo

Looks kinda Jeep-ish in the front.

Not too crazy about the name. Hey Bob, I'll pick you up in a Carnival. Sounds like a party bus or cruise ship.

Yep-looks great! The un-mini van-mini van. But you know-this is BITOG. And being Korean it already has 4 strikes against it!

I liked these after reading about them, but was really impressed after sitting in two different trim levels at the auto show. The lower trim level that they had (LX) I found to be remarkably equipped for the price. Out of the group of guys I went with, it was our value pick for the people carriers.

Not a fan of the design, or the cheap looking plastic piece on the upper rear quarter.

And kinda reliable in the back.

I loathe that piece of gray plastic. Stupid.

Formally known as the Sedona. Should have kept that name. Carnival sounds too...

You know I have a 2018 Silverado-And I say the same thing on the "sea of plastic" they call the interior.

We still like ours a lot. I would suggest you buy one but they are way backed up on orders. Paying more than sticker for a used model would be dumb. If you wanted a van in 2023 go ahead and order cause it might take that long.

Good looking for a minivan. But can't hardly see it in that god awful paint color.

Now you can see it:

All it needs now is a descent set of wheels

If I didn’t know the brand, I would quickly be more complimentary. Plastic aside, it looks slick. Similar language as the new yukons, to my eye.

a friend of mine just had her santa fe towed a long distance with nothing found but “software glitch.” She said it also gives regular executable errors on the nav display. They need a replacement minivan due to an ailing odyssey, but after 2 Kia products are done with them for now.

I like black wheels, but you can't have black wheels with silver/chrome trim all over the rest of the car.

My wife and I looked at one last summer (not to buy, just curious while we waited for paperwork) and spoke to a couple that were buying one. They are very nice inside, just like the Telluride.
The guy asked us what we were buying and my wife pointed to her GT2 on the show room floor. He was like, "oh man" while his kid were yelling daddy, daddy. LOL I said, it's OK man, give it a few years and you can trade it for a Stinger.
