I never thought I'd watch a review of a van but TheTopher is the man and makes it cool and interesting
Man I feel like every new vehicle Kia puts out is amazing. Never would've said that 6 years ago. They're really killing it these days.
i’ve been thinking the same. would you buy one tho?
@@Dontgo5 no thanks I like my c8 and my model 3
@@phantomjosh2148 Lol
@@phantomjosh2148
Lmao ok
@@Dontgo5 I'd buy one
7:37 a classic saabkyle04 move right there
Lol your right
I cleared over 80 miles on a (relatively curvy) highway on a very rainy day with barely even touching the steering wheel across the whole time. The driving assist features on the latest Kia/Hyundais are insanely good
I just bought this and it's one of the nicest vans on the road, super comfortable, and drives like a dream!
How is the power? I hate sluggish and slow vehicles lol and sadly I'm going from a 21 3.5 Ecoboost so it's hard to match
@@Whitefirefox1 it's decent it's has good pickup down low, 290 hp which is the highest in its class
@@Whitefirefox1 can confirm a full van with 7 passengers doesn't lose speed going up in the rockies.
@@Vboy6523 Is it really as difficult to get into the 3rd row as this video shows? That's my biggest issue.
With those 2nd row Vip seats, I found it much easier to access the 3rd row by separating the 2 seats furthest apart then using the center space. The area may be small for some but if you fit it is much more convenient than trying to fold the seats forward.
This. I had a previous gen Carnival in Korea, and that’s how my family accessed the third row. I am surprised that this gen’s third row doesn’t have back/forth adjustability as previous gen had it.
That center space is way too small for any adult to walk through.
I'm kind of shocked that Kia's engineers didn't have enough forethought to make it easier to access the 3rd row. Big fail on their part.
Thanks for the quality content topher 🙂
That's my car .. the SX prestige .. best purchase I've ever made
Australia has had the Kia Carnival since the early 2000s, We also get a 2.2L turbo diesel with the 2021/22 models (as well as the V6); unfortunately no AWD.
Yea we had a old Sedona too. Never looked intoit
Kia sedonas are pretty quick. I own a 2018 and she loves to growl when I get on the throttle.
Great review. I saw one on the street last week and was surprised at how SUV-like it looks in person!
That's actually a good looking van, also dig the new Kia logo.
Probably one of my favorite vehicles on the market right now. It just looks super cool.
Am I the only one who thinks radar guided cruise is annoying?
Got to use those seats at the Autoshow, and they are so amazing!!
I love the new logo !! Shud've been sparkling with matted blue..
Well done for making a minivan review interesting.
i saw your tiktok earlier today! this seems comfortable ash
Many fathers in South Korea want to have KIA CARNIVAL
Nice!!, this is a really nice looking van from KIA ngl😎👍
True family cars.
Most SUVs and crossovers are jokes.
ur a joke!!1!
@@trazqoullah what?
@@veekay_t i was talking to legendray2008
Facts my boy🎉
Vans are underated. Also, Koreans have been dominating with their new design: Kia and Hyundai
They are truly becoming better than Toyota in terms of design
Thanks for the review the image quality of your POV is greatly appreciated and cant be overstated. In Canada the top trim is the SX it's identical to the trim you're driving with the exception of the rear entertainment package we have to pay extra to get the screens. I agree regarding the 3rd row seat access it should be easier to enter behind the middle row seats, the side to side adjustment however allows for entry between the middle seats. Regarding the stow and go option in the Pacifica if we're comparing apples to apples the Pinnacle trim doesn't allow for stowing of the middle row. I have an SX on order with the same interior color option can't wait for it to arrive!
Kia makes the second-row captain chairs so massive and heavy to a point that it impacts negatively access to third-row. Even if the captain chairs are pushed all the way to the side of the vehicle, there is not much aisle space between the chairs to get to the third-row. Not very clever design.
@@LamNguyen-sr1sy Yeah, I can't believe how difficult it is to access the 3rd row. The hallmark of a minivan is easy access to the 3rd row, so seeing how difficult it is to access on this minivan is shocking.
Ho. Lee. Shit.
I will never have kids, but I freaking want this minivan
I am pretty sure I watched a review of the Carnival in Korea in which the second row seats had built in massagers. And window screens as well in the second row.
Bro, can you please do a review on Kia Forte 2021? I'm very interested in it since it looks good under 20K...might buy it
That's a Minivan? It looks like a full sized SUV on the outside, only thing giving it away is the tracking for the sliding door. Looks amazing!
Best minivan on sale rn
I wish those front quarter vent windows were retractable. Overall looks very nice.
love smooth
I am not a mini van guy whatsoever but the Carnival is....very cool.
Finally a kia carnival/sedona
I saw a review where the guy mentioned that he felt a slip in the transmission and that the Kia Carnival may have transmission problems down the road. Did you fill anything in the transmission while test driving?
Yes, as a hybrid !
Can you test drive the Hyundai Tucson I’m really interested in that vehicle
1:47 its more familiar when u drive the e-class 😂
Wow! Minivans have come a long way since I was a child in my parents minivans…. Haha
I like this car
Kia has come a looong way. My first car was a Kia sephia from the mid 90s which was their first car I believe. Man it gave me so much trouble lmao. Their sports car looks cool too.
Good 👍🏻♥️
You simply must do the new Forte GT!
How does it compare to the bronco as a grocery getter?
they need to put that cluster/infotainment to telluride for 2023... they have to.
Thetopher your the TH-cam a mustang gt500 would be good for the next video
For a minivan, it does lack storage near the front console. I get that Kia went with the SUV'ish feel for this, but one of the major usp's of a van is unlimited storage lol
I love the name Carnival lol makes it sound like it’s fun to be in🎡
Kia surprises me every time they launch a new car/SUV. I'm impressed with the new K5 GT and now this... Excellent review as always man!!
The body makes me think a Ford Explorer mated with a Honda Odyssey.
ER, not true. When it was on sale in the UK it was known as the Sedona.
How do you feel being in a very spacious car after always reviewing small, tight supercars?
**Looks at thumbnail** *NICE*
Omg omg omg
EQUINOX, Pacifica, Range Rover, and Kia had a baby lmao thanks for this
Honestly the thing in the body style on it looks better than the Chrysler Pacifica, I like the Chrysler Pacifica because they’re for the hip mom, is very very stylish, and rather fast.
Interior on the carnival is absolutely stunning though. All the little details do you are on the dash or a very very interesting. I like that everybody switching to the touchscreen, it just looks better
Thank god they have a normal shifter and not that stupid knob shifter
No mid seat Sto and Go is a deal breaker, such a great feature in the Pacifica!
Totally agree. And The inability to easily access the 3rd row in the carnival is a deal breaker.
The feature is only on the lower trims. Not on the SX prestigie
@@canadianaviator then again the prestige trim has those lounge chairs that can't be removed...
@@chirpchirpy123 yes
The Pacifica will be better if you need to haul cargo more often. When it’s not in the shop it’ll serve well
How much markup are the dealers charging?
Kia have the best designer. Most all of their cars are good looking
Wouldn’t say best, but yes
@@alh06 I'd definitely say best.
@@brandondannys-menary3678 Some other manafacturers have more consistent and better looking lineups
@@alh06 like what? I donr know of many other car brand that completely turned their brand around, everything they come our with is nice with class leading tech. Also very affordable
It's hard to see but the logo does say Kia.
1:00 Not inverted N, It's "IA"...with full KIA
Don’t most folks climb through the middle of the seats to get to the back? I’ve never pushed the seats forward to get to the back…
The middle in between the 2nd row seats on the Carnival is a joke, there's literally no room between those massive 2nd row captain's seats.
New logo is not KN, it is still KIA without the - in A.
Except for its ride height, this one's superior to the Telluride in every way, imo
Except getting into the 3rd row is much easier on the Telluride than it is in the Carnival...
Have you ever been pulled over filming a video?
КИ, охренеть
Does it have Android auto
It's like a lowered and shrunk Traverse.
"Doesn't spell KIA" Really? It's not a "backwards N" but a stylized A. K I A.
i was saying the same thing. he needs to look harder.
@@n_u001 lol it was a joke he knows what it is.
Did you say it’s fast?? It only has 290hp and it’s almost 6000lbs
It's around 5000 lbs, alot less than 6k. 290 goes a long way when the trans and the rest of the drivetrain is also good
@@brandondannys-menary3678 I’m not quite sure where I saw it say 6k lbs. still, Miata has 170hp and weighs 2500 lbs. Also, similarly to EV’s, manual transmissions make a vehicle feel more responsive and quicker than it actually is.
It's not even 5000 lbs. The exact weight of SX Prestige trim is 4,727 lbs.
How many Twinkies can fit inside?
Many many Twinkies, even more Ho Hos!
The ability to let down the second row to get into the third row is on the lower right side of the seat behind the lumbar. It’s a pull tab 😌
Double, triple checked, can’t find a quick pull tab in our SX Prestige. I know there is definitely one in the SX and lower trims though.
@The American Boy Incorrect.
Haven't Driven a 2007 PT CRUISER.... I need a sad life car at least once... LOL
I'm a Sales Advisor at Southside KIA here in Jacksonville, Florida! If anyone lives near and is interested in the Carnival or a KIA vehicle, feel free to hit me up!
While that is such a gorgeous interior for a minivan, I’m gonna need to know what watch that is. Definitely a beauty.
Like the SUV looks, but doesn’t seem to really compete practicality wise with the other minivans. Also way too much gloss plastic. Would just get a Telluride or a better minivan.
My issue with the other minivans is their tech is outdated.
@@Superman-xr1oh The Pacifica and Sienna are fine.
Very ‘Mercedes’ looking dash
The Kia logo isn’t a “K” and a backwards “N”….the “I” and the “A” are just connected
Alright ill say it, the interior looks like a Mercedes.
Guys I hate minivans and yet I clicked on this video because Kia makes great vehicles...
Sometimes I need a good laugh and I watch KIA car reviews.
🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
You do realize it says Kia right? It’s not a K and a backwards N. It’s a K I A…
All that black gloss! Yuck!
Klk briii me saludas
They certainly got that interior screen layout from Mercedes lol.
PS. That logo still says “Kia”, not “Kn” lol. The i and the a are just attached.
Copied Mercedes with the interior lol
More than 280,000 Hyundai Kia vehicles were recalled over concerns that they could catch fire if parked indoors. Automakers report 25 fire or melt incidents in the US and Canada
the new logo is ugly
Agreed. It's a lazy effort from Kia, I must say. They should've invested into a brand-new logo without any letters or acronyms. All they did with the new logo is to write the same word "KIA" in a different style. Lost opportunity for sure.
It makes feel vomit
Car fantastic!!!!!!!
I cannot wait to be passed by this thing, as if on fire, by someone that otherwise cannot get anything they want in life...oh, while also loaded to the gills with kids that are either screaming, throwing up, or both. Also, I wish you'd have done this drive like you did the chevy bolt, off center burn-outs, very hard turns. I would also like to see this come in awd, so more local parents can plow it off the road in the winter at 80, like they do all their huge SUVs.
thats not a 3rd row lol
@@gisangel12 im sayin it sarcastically.. Im tall so im never sitting at the back lol
@@vankai06 Most people who are tall are going to have a hard time sitting in the 3rd row of any minivan/suv. Unless it's a Suburban or Escalade.
Kia and Hyundai executives must be laughing at every shmuck that buys their junk.
