This 'MPV' is exceeding expectations...not perfect, though no vehicle is. Drives like a dream and gets decent mpg for such a large vehicle. The tech integration is pretty incredible and far better than competitors and at a much better value. Safety features all work as intended, though the auto brake assist is a little over-eager when cars are turning in front of you. Seat comfort and flexibility is great, but middle captain chairs could be a little easier to slide. Only real compliant is the design and placement of the entertainment screens, which takes up some aisle space and almost interferes with the function of the seats sliding forward. Love having the 360 camera and power folding mirrors available on the SX (not the top model) too. Drive is very quiet and refined and this thing definitely gets some looks. Hoping for at least 10 great years!

2022 Kia Carnival LX Seat Package 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

I've had the LXS for 6 months and 2600 miles so cant comment yet on longevity. Have had no issues so far. The LXS is a base model with fake leather seats. It has wireless carplay that works flawlessly. I walk in start the car my google maps open on screen and my music starts playing. The interior is really nice with matte panel with huge buttons. Very easy to use. It has remote start in the base model. Personally I love the manual tailgate. Engine is powerful and gets the car up to highway speed quickly and quietly. The best feature is cargo space. I've used it occasionally as a pickup truck with 2nd row easily removed and a tarp to cover the floor. We've been on a mini road trip and fit 3 suitcases, 4 beach chairs, and a beach wagon with all 3 rows up. The biggest surprise is the handling. It drives a lot better than my mazda cx9. Downsides are wind noise at highway speeds, cheap paint has minor nicks from flying debris on hood, and having to deal with Kia dealerships. MPG has been around 19 in city and 24 highway. Update after 2 years. The car had one issue. It had a check engine light because the gascap wasnt screwed in while filing. The dealership reset the light and I now turn off my engine when filling up. I haven't seen an issue since. My mileage is 10k so hard to tell how it will perform down the road. The car feels new. Seats are amazing. No real complaints.

This Carnival has it all...looks, ride, quietness, comfort and roominess. We came from a great Nissan Quest, and this Carnival beats it, and all others we tested, including the Odyssey. 9-15-2022 -- It's been 19,000 miles and this van is a thrill to use and zip around. The comfort level is absolutely amazing, and we find our selves driving it more than our Chevy sedan. Upkeep has been simple, with 3 oil changes, and tire rotations. Just love it. Update, 3-18-2023: Nothing here to add, except that the Carnival keeps rolling with every pleasurable mile. Again, we've had 4 vans over the years, and the Carnival is the BEST.

More than I expected

I purchased the SX prestige On 4/6/21. Beautiful ride feels like the car is on rails when it is driving on all roads. Loaded with tech, and many safety features that you would not expect. I went with this model because it doesn’t look like the other boring minivans in it’s class.
