Spacious and comfortable but a few drawbacks
Took our brand new LXS on a 3k mile trip. Cargo area is very spacious, and interior was spacious enough for 4 adults, 1 teenager and a child with car seat on our 3k mile trip. Third row has lots of room for vehicle of its class. On cruise control we got avg 33 mpg and just over 500 miles to a tank of gas. A few cons that need to be addressed are apple car play constantly disconnects. Doesnt matter how many different cables I tried with Genuine apple cable, or which Iphone was connected. Car play would constantly disconnect. Radio would also turn completely black and flicker. Very unreliable when you are using your carplay with GPS. Another issue is when both front drivers and passenger windows are down just a few inches, windows would have a slight rattle. Extremely annoying when you are driving. If you have a hitch, there is not alot of ground clearance. Hitch will graze the pavement. I can deal with the grazing of pavement from the hitch, but issues with radio and window will have to be looked into. Other than that, great vehicle and great features for the price if the dealer does not charge you a insane markup over the MSRP

I'm a proud Carni
Great car, spacious, comfortable and fun tech. The intelligent cruise control blew my mind! On a long trip, the seats a comfortable - maybe a little stiff, but I suspect they will break in. Love the passenger view and talk - handy feature for a carload. The wired Apple Carplay is a little annoying, but nothing detrimental. Driving this van is smooth and quiet. The stow away 3rd row is a really nice feature, but even with the seats up, the storage behind is ample.

Lot of money for basic features
We have the Carnival LX. Road noise. Driver seat is average comfort. Gauges/speedometer difficult to see behind steering wheel. No Sirus XM Radio option or navigation. Can stream music when mirroring phone but if you hit area with poor cell service you lose maps and streaming music. Will reconnect sometimes but often goes to black screen. To reconnect when service improves, you have to shut the car down / engine off and start all over. It is roomy and navigates heavy rain/water better than or Chrysler Pacifica but Pacifica was more responsive and easier to navigate entertainment system. Why no satellite radio option or back up navigation? I just don’t understand. Oh well, we are stuck with it for a long time.
