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.

It's all about the driver man ..... It's how well he handled the vehicle .... take care Mr Khong.
I never knew a brick on wheels could carry such speeds around twisty roads. It just shows how far car makers have come. Great driving as usual. Drive safe, stay safe uncle!

Good idea... Need The Special Episode of Kia Carnival Up Genting with full seat🤣
This uncle very polite, keep saying THANK YOU. 😊 hopefully if rest of the users have this type driving attitude, we will have less road violence. there are family's waiting at home, all drive safely.
I also notice, very much less body roll compared to Alphard
I just so admire Uncle Khong who is just not only knows how to drive but also understand the car very well. Knows the ability of the car is also important in driving because some people just thinking of stepping the gas without analysing what are the consequences from their attitude of driving and either the car could afford it or not. Stay safe uncle , love to watch your videos which full with knowledges.

Finally....been waiting for this video. But I am guessing the camera mounting does not help us the viewer to the true feeling of the whole ride. It seems to shake a lot. But anyway I can assume this giant behave really well up the mountain from the way you react.
I agree, I drove an FWD MPV before and it has a tendency to understeer on these corners. Just gotta drive 'calmer' on these hills.

Its nice to see a professional Malaysian driver provide car reviews. It would be a good to get your perspective since you are a professional of other stuff on the car when you are doing the review such as: Steering Feel Throttle Response Brake Feel (I know its a bit hard to do with a hill climb) Body Roll Transmission Shifts (Speed and Smoothness)

Will take into consideration; but being able to drive it at that pace means it is a good package, doesn't it? Steering feel has no meaning of the car cannot take the corners or feels like a steamroller.

Nice uncle, gear 8speed AT just guna 3rd gear only,. amazing, kalau CVT sure meraung engine 😁. Like my Kia Rio 6speed with AMT naik Cameron always used 3rd gear jarang guna 2nd gear or 1st gear walaupun engine Rio 1.4L 100Hp 133Nm tapi smooth sahaja sebab mungkin gear guna 6speed. 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?

You can talk to me and ask me more. 0163350609. Braking is not an issue, and there is plenty of braking power. Of course you are not supposed to drive crazy going down hill. On one part of our clinb, we went down a steep slope quite fast, and the brakes never failed.

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
