Thanks Nav! The SX trim level will have the Dual Panel Sunroof standard, it's unavailable otherwise. The Carnival has the option for towing with an aftermarket hitch install (your dealer can take care of it for you) and it has a max towing capacity of 3,500 lbs

I ordered a 2023 Carnival SX P about 2 months ago. It wasn't easy, but I found a dealer on the other side of town which would do MSRE on an order. Typical markups on the SX P was 5K.. Not sure when, but someday I'll get it. Why does the Telluride have a 3.8, whereas the Carnival gets the 3.5? Same specs. Is the 3.5 a newerl engine? The 3.8 has been out for a while.

@CarsWithSteve

Жыл бұрын

Good call on not paying a markup and honestly.. kudos for taking the time to find a dealer that would do that. Last I heard from dealers my way is that wait times are between 3 - 6 months depending on how it's spec'd out. No clue on the engine choice there. I was surprised it has a similar power output too

The best comparison I've found so far. Excellent work!

Based on cubic feet the Carnival seems to have aot more cargo space. But in terms of length it may not be that much. Wondering what car you would recommend for families with three kids if child seats are not needed anymore

@CarsWithSteve

Жыл бұрын

You have more depth in the cargo area of the Carnival but measurements between them are really close. If you don't need to worry about the child seats I personally like the look of the 2023 Telluride over the Carnival. They have very similar tech and features too. Could be worth a family trip to a Kia dealer and do back to back test drives to get a feel for which one you like the most!

@@CarsWithSteve Do you think it's worth it to wait for the hybrid models? I noticed that a lot of people seem to prefer the V6 engines on these cars. It's as if they never felt the high gas prices. I personally wanted to wait for the hybrid models to come in, but am not sure if they'll last or why most people are so much against them.

Assuming this does get a hybrid it would give you slightly better fuel economy but I wouldn't hold my breath on these going hybrid. I think people's apprehension with hybrids comes down to long term benefits vs the higher upfront cost

People are brand loyal and have preferences for style and feature set.. I know people who will only ever own Hyundai's and others who wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Everyone is different

I think there is a big miss... the rear hatch and sliding door opening measurements of both cars which is not shown. Reason people buy vans is it's easier to get stuff in and out but according to the video, both interior max height if 52" and 39" is identical so why buy the Carnival?

@CarsWithSteve

Oh interesting ideas to add in there sliding door measurements, honestly never thought of that one for vans or SUVs.. I think for some it'll come down to style preference. Some people just love the thoughts of having a mini van

🧐I was thinking about getting the Carnival but just found out the Engine is GDI which cause excess carbon build up on the valves...I might pass unless someone can convince me otherwise😢

@CarsWithSteve

Жыл бұрын

Carbon buildup can happen on any engine, it's not just GDI engines where it happens. GDI can be more susceptible to buildup but not all DI engines will build up carbon the same way Always maintain your vehicle regularly including performing scheduled maintenance and oil changes. Using a top tier fuel and OEM approved engine oils is always a good idea, along with regular spark plug and injector maintenance
