Is the NEW 2022 Kia Carnival SX the BEST minivan for the price?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The ALL NEW Carnival is here and Kia has brought a ton of changes for 2022 to challenge the Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey. Replacing the Sedona in Kia's lineup the Carnival sits on a new chassis and has all new bodywork. This is the SX which is the second from the highest trim and come with a ton of features and amenities. On the inside you will find a ton of space and versatility. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 producing 295HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the NEW 2022 Kia Carnival SX the BEST minivan for the price?

Very nice. I drive a Sedona because it's the only van I could find in which the 3rd row seatbelts fit correctly and weren't too far forward. I'm glad to see they are still correctly placed in the Carnival. Well done, Kia.

Ikr.they should just stick to SEDONA because CARNIVAL is what we think first is a huge PLAY GROUND for children+adults.
So... just found my family of 6 new “van”.. we had a 2014 Sorento years ago that we out grew then moved into a Toyota Sienna but an older 2005 which has been awesome.. this year we are upgrading and I’d seen the new Sienna that I loved but wanted to get out of the “minivan” arena and low and behold what do we have here!!!! I’m so excited 😆
I flew from WA to OR to get the KIA CARNIVAL SX and drove it back to WA. I gotta say it was worth cashing this bad boy out. Great for road trips! It has a Highway Driving Assist. It's a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving aid that combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance to make long-distance driving easier. It almost feels like it's a self driving vehicle for the most part. My wife and kids loves it!

Loved this review - great job! I like the look of the van (looks like an SUV), but a few design flaws are hard to explain. Placing the rear turn signal on the bottom bumper...really? Look at Volvo, leaders in safety, placing indicators as high up on the car as possible. I can't even understand how this is legal, and in my mind is a serious safety concern as it increases the chances of getting rear-ended. Third row windows also look like tank slits from the inside, not sure kids could even see out those little teeny windows.

One of the reasons you should always tuck the rear windshield wiper under the roof like that is that it prevents from 5 year olds from hanging off the back of the van and ripping the wiper off. My kid did to all the Honda Odysseys on the cul-de-sac because, well, he's a kid and it was fun.
