took a kia 2024 carnival rental for a few days and was blown away. The last time i drove a kia was 5 years ago and it was a shoddy piece of work. it drives like an SUV, loved it. the 2025 version looks nice.
Agree - no point in asking questions like "is it better than a Sienna" if it doesn't have AWD. I hate the interior of the Sienna, but where I live AWD is a game changer
maybe this car is too long for AWD? they may dont want to spend money to redesign the chassis and create a new production line. and the AWD drivetrain system also encroaches on interior space.
If you Polish a turd it's still a turd. They might look nicer but the still use the same old crappy engine, I wonder if it has that dct transmission that lasted 30 miles on their sante fe.lol
I honestly prefer the pre-facelifted Carnival. This new face is bland and anonymous. Otherwise, nice design overall. Upscale interior. I'll be so happy when manufacturers find something else to use instead of gloss black plastic that shows every spec of dust and scratches so easily.
If this van got AWD and a bigger engine, I am sold. 1.6T hybrid shall be absolutely adequate for Sportage, but Santa Fe and this shall got a bigger engine like 2.0T hybrid. 1.6T hybrid for this can is underpowered, and the turbo gasket longevity might be questionable.
Well, a 1.6 L turbo is going to be a lot to be pushing around that nearly 5000 pound vehicle. Yes it does have the hybrid system to help give it a little extra boost when needed but that is a lot of minivan for such a small displacement! Also Completely missed opportunity, for an all wheel drive minivan for hybrid or the gas version. My guess the gas mileage combined for that vehicle may be 27 miles per gallon. Maybe 29 if you are really easy on it. But all you have to do is look at the Kia Sportage hybrid and you will get your mileage from that motor because it is the same motor and transmission but you have a lot more weight with this minivan, I will say absolute great design on the interior and exterior .
@@LetMeCook86 at best with absolute egg under the accelerator pedal driver! The Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid with the same . 1.6 L turbo only average 30 miles per gallon and the van is going to weigh significantly more than that.
I agree. KIA/Hyundai need to consider implementing a 2.5L hybrid engine on the bigger hybrid/phev lineups. For their car lineup like the Kona/Niro, Tuscon and Sportage can stay at a 1.6L engine... but whatever. When the Carnival is due for a redesign, I hope that the Carnival will get a really good AWD, PHEV/HEV model 3-4 years from now.
@@shannonha2331 the price on this will sky rocket with AWD, it's an unnecessary option for the cost of it and how many they sell anyways. just gotta know how to drive and have the right tires.
@@prainmantis in snowy areas in the northeast, even with great tires and proactively driving safely, car would swerve left and right especially trying to up a snowy hill. Serious issues I had to deal wity
Hyundai-Kia is twice more reliable than Toyota. Hyundai-Kia's warranty is 10 years but Toyota's is only 5 Years. Jeep's warranty is only 5 years, too. I would never buy from automaker that cannot beat Jeep's warranty.
@LeanWithMike Toyota/Lexus is reliable? Who says? Scotty? 😆 🤣 😂 Use your brain. Don't just repeat what Scotty says. Jeep is least reliable with 5 year warranty. Toyota/Lexus has the same 5-year warranty. Doesn't a light come on?
The 2025 Kia Carnival is a stylish and versatile minivan with plenty of space for the whole family. It offers advanced technology, comfort features, and a smooth ride. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a new family vehicle! 😄🚗
Toyota Sienna will always have a better hybrid system (cough cough, HSG, cough cough) and it is better on paper because it offers AWD. AWD might not offer much practical advantage, but Americans sure do love it. Kia sure does make a great looking minivan and having it in a hybrid makes it more competitive, but a big misstep to not offer it in AWD as well. Sienna still wins.

Kia should stay top of the electric cars option for everyone around the one. Meaning KIA should make Carnival into full electric as Toyota, Honda doesn’t even has one yet.
@@brianlee7442 thanks Brian but if you look at the Korean version drl is led white regardless so I was just wondering why it's different. My guess is it will be the same pattern as telluride where following year amber light turns to led.
be aware of the poor suspension system in the rear - the level of comfort in 2nd and 3rd row seats are just poor. You might like it, but your kids might want to throw up from nausea
My wife has a 2017 Tucson with the 1.6 T and it started burning oil like crazy at 85,000 miles. Save your receipts for all your oil changes. Hyundai was not hard to work with but our local dealer was horrid. Finally got a brand new engine after four oil consumption tests. By the last one, the car burned almost 3 quarts after only 1,000 miles. Dealer also tried to charge us for things that were covered under the warranty. The day my wife went to pick it up, with our 2 young boys, they tried to charge her almost 500 bucks before she could take it. I called them from work and asked them if they would like to display a used Grand Cherokee in their main showroom because I was going to drive it right through the front door. They backed off, released the car, and we will never do business there again. I check the oil twice a month and so far it has been fine. Plan on driving it until the wheels fall off.

The design in 2024 was better. For 2025, it seems they simply followed the instructions of executives who don't understand design: "Make it more intricate and complicated." A good design is clean, with lines that follow the flow. Nowadays, cars are a mess. I refuse to buy a Sienna simply because it's ridiculous with those abruptly changing direction lights that try to emulate a jet turbine. It's childish.
How come y’all talk about minivans but not what us hot gurls with the phat yams want to drive? Y’all need to step it up boo boo or we gonna dip to another channel that gives us those Bimmer, Benz and Bentley reviews!!!!
@velboone6041 Ehh I get it, manufacturers copy each other all the time but genesis, for example, had a completely unique design language. It just seems kinda lazy.

First

It’s the best minivan I’ve ever seen
Coolest 😎. Others are for old and fat people.
The honda odyssey new is cute too
Killed it with no AWD though.
@@xtremecoastnope, AWD is only needed for those who can’t drive. And if you can’t drive do not choose a large vehicle. Smart car or a fiat 500.
Still don’t understand why they aren’t offering AWD option
Almost all buyers are city drivers and aren't towing anything. AWD is more of a 'nice to have' feature rather than a necessity.
AWD is good to drive in the snow. @@viron6734
When you are living in snow area then you know why you need awd
Agree - no point in asking questions like "is it better than a Sienna" if it doesn't have AWD. I hate the interior of the Sienna, but where I live AWD is a game changer
maybe this car is too long for AWD? they may dont want to spend money to redesign the chassis and create a new production line. and the AWD drivetrain system also encroaches on interior space.
No AWD is unacceptable. What was kia thinking? Hard pass for me. I'll buy this in a heartbeat if they bring out an AWD option.
Tell us you can’t drive without telling us lmfao
If you know how to drive all AWD does is drink more gas.
The amount of extra storage we could get in the middle consol if manufacturers would put the shifter back on the steering column
No thanks.
Wow, now with hybrid trim. This changes everything.
Sienna is ancient, compared to ultra-modern Carnival. Sienna is for old people and Carnival is for cool people 😎.
If you Polish a turd it's still a turd. They might look nicer but the still use the same old crappy engine, I wonder if it has that dct transmission that lasted 30 miles on their sante fe.lol
lol the Kia Hyundai bots are absurd
The poor are obsessed with the past. They don't even know how the world will change.
@@bradyb9929 really, car confections you tube cars bought the new 24 sante Fe and the dct transmission broke after 30 miles lol such wonderful quality
Look who is talking ? A guy from india, that can't afford none of them
KIA whips ❤@These.
If it had an AWD option, this would beat A sienna easily.

You're forgetting the electric motor that is also assisting.
The carnival is either a 1.6l for the hybrid or a v6 for the gas version. Do you need more than 300hp in a fucking van?
Best looking minivan. Nice job Kia 👏

This!

10q for the presentation.
Pls let us know about the fule consumption on the hybrid model..
Do they have plug in hybrid model?

Only issue is there is no AWD in KIA
deal breaker for me....
will it have the same transmission and issue as the santa fe?

No, this one has a regular transmission, not the dct which Santafe has
Can the rear seats be removed...do they have integral airbags?
A little difficult to get into the 3rd row

Kia carnival hybrid FTW!
Most persons think you must travel with a clown in a carnival vehicle. where do I get a clown that’s always available?

What is mileage of used of electric hybrid?
will it be available in uk?

@@Xrp_will_hit_320_dollars Right!?! haha
The 1.6 l with the hybrid system is as powerful as the siennas 2.5l.
Any 8 seaters for 2025 model? I prefer 3 seats on 2nd row instead of the captain seats.
Unlike Toyota, Kia lets you choose.
Kia should stay top of the electric cars option for everyone around the one. Meaning KIA should make Carnival into full electric as Toyota, Honda doesn’t even has one yet.
Heads up display?
Yup yup yup 😀
Any plans to launch it in India?
Make a bed in the back. A must have.
Nice, but seems like Kia/Hyundai “refresh” their vehicles every 3 months.
Nah
Yes. They change the designs way too often. As soon as you buy a new one it's outdated.
Why does some 2025 carnival has white daytime running light not amber?
If the headlight is on then the drl turns white. If off then amber

Why? Are you planning to drive off-road with a minivan?
@@viron6734 THIS!!!
