Kia Carnival 2022 Genting Hill Climb - Enough power to make it to the top? / YS Khong Driving

The Kia Carnival is an 11-seater MPV; 199HP, 440 Nm of torque, 8-speed automatic transmission, 3 driving modes, Macpherson struts, multi-link suspension, ventilated disc at the front, disc brakes at the rear, paddle shifters - sounds more like the specifications for a sports car, right?
Well, although a hill climb may bot be the proper way to test a people mover, it is actually interesting to know how it can go up our favorite mountain. I actually meant to load it up with people and really drive it up, but because of the high number of Covid-19 cases, I decided to shelf the idea, and perhaps do it again another time.
Do enjoy the video - you might be shocked at what this 2,2 ton behemoth can actually do.
Of course, should you be interested to purchase this vehicle, do drop in to
shop.yskhongdriving.com, or send me a whatsapp at 0163350609.

Lalu bonggol pun stay 3rd gear different dengan model Picanto 4speed lalu bonggol always turun 1st gear. 😅

    After watching the previous video where uncle YS Khong drove this new Carnival, was waiting for this Genting Hill Climb... and here it is as promised! *thumbs up*. I'm in love with this Carnival, even more after watching each review about this MPV (or GUV), definitely a very respectable alternative to Alphard, Velfire, Odyssey, Elgrand, etc. Since this is a huge vehicle, I am actually interested to know uncle YS Khong's thoughts and opinion on its braking capabilities, especially during down hill. Can have additional video clip or comments on your down hill ride experience please uncle YS Khong?

    Hill Descent Control is only for very steep slopes and will deactivate at speeds above 20 or so kmh. These slopes are around 5 to 10 percent generally and so you do not need HDC. Our steepest climbs are Genting, Camerons and perhaps Kinabalu in EM, and you will not require HDC in any of these situations, so don't worry about the vehicle not having HDC. The chances are you will never need it at all

    The 4 stroke engine was made 100 years ago, but still using in new cars. Same with electric cars - they were around 100 years ago too. There is mothing new, just variations and packages that make a vehicle suitable for some users. There is no single car that suits everybody, which is why the auto undustry is so vibrant and interesting.
