Chabby, thank you for your complete coverage of the 2025 Kia Carnival LXS. Was looking at a 2024 but I like this model design and layout very much.

Hey Martin! Good to hear from you. I agree. They did a really nice job.

Chappy, great review, I'm liking this or the 2025 Santa Fe, I want the hybrid 😊

[@chabbysrides]

The Santa Fe hybrid is a compelling offering for sure. Thanks for tuning in. Much appreciated.

Exterior styling blurs the difference between a van and suv. Not too fond of front lighting treatment. Terrific interior room and space flexibility. Lots of clever details. Nice powertrain..no noisy turbo four! About at the top of the its class. Very versatile. An impressive effort from Kia A lot of vehicle for most people. Fuel mileage is probably competitive but overall pretty low. Nice vehicle, excellent review!

Thanks Louis. Not my cup of tea, but they did a nice job.

No telescope for drive wheel, really?

Very practical for a large family & pets,not my cup of tea.
I believe the updated Telluride will get a similar front grill as this and the Sorento.

[@chabbysrides]

Yes. I believe so too. Thanks for tuning in.

40k doesn't seem too overly expensive for a family vehicle. Not a fan of the front but I'm sure it will please soccer moms.
