I love my 2024 Kia Carnival EX! This is our first time purchasing a brand new car. With the features and specs, the price tag is fantastic! We also own a fully loaded 2021 GMC Acadia Denali, and even though the KIA doesn’t have as many features as our GMC, its still seems very luxurious. It’s also very convenient for the kids. I am pregnant with baby #3, which is what prompted us to get a minivan and the Carnival was an easy choice. We were also considering the Chrystler Pacifica, but it turns out the Pacifica doesn’t have as much storage space. We also didnt go with the entertainment package for the KIA because they are basically tablets attached to the back of the seats. If your kids already own tablets, just purchase tablet holders for your car, don’t waste your money. I have had my KIA for about a week now, learning how to adjust the seats took some time. I was also kind of disappointed that the apple car play was not wireless like our GMC, but it’s really no inconvenience. The low MPG haven’t really caused a lot of trouble, it has a big gas tank, so I feel like I can go pretty far without needing to fill up. I come from having a ford escape as well as a ford focus, so this is a huge upgrade! Having the GMC with the AWD and the minivan for the passenger space make two great vehicles to have for a family.

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

2023 Kia Carnival SX Prestige 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

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!

I’m still getting use to my vehicle but I like it so far, used 2023. Great customer service from my car dealer. The only thing I was kinda upset about was when I was waiting for my car, he said they were detailing it, it wasn’t until I got home and looked in the back seat again, I saw that one of the seats and carpet still had what looked like dried up vomit or spilled food that wasn’t cleaned up, and I was told I was getting a free portable tire inflator which was no where to be found.
