Thanks for the review... you keep going on about the petrol engine being better, 12l per 100kms is terrible.. its not a racing car, so when you mention the "off the line start" its surplus on the overall usage of the Carnival. the Diesel is the premium engine and to haul around 8 people plus bags and luggage if required, the diesel is the go to. its economy and torque surpasses any other compromises in my view. Great review. appreciate the efforts. Would have been nice to have heard all the features of the base model for us poor families who cant afford the GT Line
Kia has stated that hybrid supply will initially be limited to around 60-70 units per month nationally, but hopes that number will rise in line with demand. You can read more in our review: www.drive.com.au/reviews/2024-kia-carnival-review/
The Carnival hybrid uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine matched with an electric motor and six-speed automatic transmission - similar to the system used in the Sportage.
The Kia Carnival sold in Australia is built in South Korea (though Kia builds the Carnival in other locations for international markets). Reliability appears to be good, owners haven't flagged any significant issues with the Drive team.
Toyota Motor Group was recently caught deceiving consumers by manipulating quality tests for the past 35 years. What is Toyota's punishment? Can we trust the Japanese and Toyota for deceiving consumers?
You don't get a new car, however you will be changing everything until the warranty runs out. Been there never buying Korean cars again, japanese if you don't want stress, even if Japanese has 1 week warranty I would take it over 7 years warranty on Korean cars
@nhzcx123 a warranty means nothing if they don't pay out! Kia are well known as tje warranty that doesn't pay out! I know I worked for a delearship in Glasgow. And they say 100k miles what they dont tell is what's covered to 100k. Anything that will fail..clutch, gearbox etc they knock people back as little as 20k miles. Kia/Hyundai are buckets
If someone can’t drive this small car out of the car park, they shouldn’t be driving. Looks are deceiving. If a small Thai Ute like ranger and hilux can fit in any carpark, this thing is way small than small Utes
I saw the new Lexus GX550, and the interior of this Kia is wayyyyy better in terms of design, layout, material and execution.
Can’t believe you skipped reviewing the second row. Good review otherwise !

She asked what more could you want well overseas get captain chairs in middle that massage you and move more and heat/cooling seats so that’s start
The second row has heating and cooling on the top ranges. I'm not sure if it's the GT Lines only.
I have the Santa fe 2022 and love the v6 petrol.
Aww cute, the diesel sounds like my little grey fergy. ❤
SA doesn't have V6 anymore, understandably. Being a V6 fan, will have to import a properly tuned one from Australia👌 it's an awesome engine.
U mentioned it can drive out of carparks, but can it drive in? Otherwise pretty useless? Great review btw
Looks amazing! I can't wait for the hybrid to become available. Apparently, KIA has supply issues when it comes to the drivetrains.

Hybrid has arrived. I've just ordered one today!!
Lush haze of denial 😂 That’s me 🙋🏼♀️
Is it a petrol or a diesel hybrid?

Are the Kia carnivals sold in Australia made in South Korea? How reliable do Australians consider them to be?

2024 or 2025?
Is AWD available?
The Canrival is only available with front-wheel drive on all variants in Australia.

It's a Kia! And Like most Korean cars it will fall apart after 4 years
They give you 7years warrenty. So you talking about aveey 4years you will get a new car under warrenty. Lol

its 5.1m long almost the same as the hilux. small cars are usually around 4m.
It is wider than those "Utes", like many SUVs and crossovers
@@josh3221ifyyes wider than Hilux
