Our family grew by 1 more a few months ago and we decided our Sorento (which I loved) was just too small. Of the 4 minivans available in our area, and after talking with friends & coworkers who have owned all brands, the Carnival ultimately won out. I LOVE the sliding doors! Lots of features are similar to my old Sorento, but I can see how someone new to the brand would take some getting used to.

Nice car, Inconvenient Safety features

2024 Kia Carnival SX Prestige 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

We purchased our Kia in July 2023, It is a 2024 model SX Prestige. Let me start out by saying the car rides nice, gets good mileage and is overall comfortable. But the “safety features” are very user unfriendly!! It’s frustrating that you can’t lock the doors with the lock control on the inside of the door. All of the doors have to be shut then you have to press the button on the door handle. Not very handy in a rainstorm. The app leaves a lot to be desired. You can start the car or unlock the doors not both! Not very handy when you want to warm the car and open it for guests. When you use the app to open the door you have 10 seconds to get to the drivers door handle or it locks again on you! Again not very handy in a rainstorm! The app also works very slow, not sure if that’s a connection issue or app issue but it doesn’t respond well. If they allowed you to set the controls to your needs that would be great but they don’t allow that. Overall I like the car but some of the “safety settings” are very inconvenient.
