I’m still driving my 2004 Chevy Astro Van in search of a replacement. I thought I found it with this KIA. Alas, as I did the build I could not add a roof rack on the model with the removable/flattened seats. You could only get the roof rack with jumbo premium seat package. Nuts!! Anyway my search continues for a van with maximum vertical interior storage, maximum length storage (i.e., no bulky console) so I can run 10’ lumber right up middle, AWD so I don’t launch van along with boat I tow with great tow package and lastly can pack kids in it when I need to. KIA, wake up!! You need to allow your van to be configured to allow maximum interior and exterior storage like the Astro.

Just bought one yesterday in the SX trim and it's worth 6 hours of driving to get it because it's definitely an amazing car!

Impossible to Get More Than Two Keys! Don't Buy!

I almost made a huge mistake in buying this vehicle. It has a lot of things that I like and I would have purchased if not for one thing. My family has five drivers. Every other car I've ever owned could get extra keys programmed for it. Expensive sometimes, but always possible. I've always had at least four keys for every vehicle I've ever owned. I never imagined that any car company would be stupid enough to prevent its owners from having extra keys. I was on the verge of getting a brand-new 2023 Carnival SX Prestige when I learned that I would NEVER be able to have more than two keys for it. It was so hard for me to believe that I did extensive research to confirm the limitation. In the end, I had to select a different brand of vehicle altogether. Don't make the same mistake I almost made. Do not buy a Kia until they let their customers have more than two keys!
