Bought a nissan serena 3 years ago coz my kids loved it. For kuching it was a great car. Now that we are using it to travel between KB and KL, the serena is nice for the passengers but a torture for the driver in terms of handling and the comfort. its nice to know that there is something that i can look forward to when my budget allows me to upgrade in the future.

Nice review bobby...agreed it is a huge car...and it should handle well..agree with your comment that it should be considered as a comparison to a 7 seater suv

boby size is not average malaysian size. if bobby say its spacious.. its is SPACIOUSSSS

I like the kid reviews… cuz they slam the best feelings thou. I am driving a G30 530i Msport, but now having said it is not really a family car, cuz having a 3 yrs old daughter and a newborn baby boy, time to chase something for money, value, usage. I test drive the 7 seater, and my 3 yrs old daughter cried I didnt bring back that car 😂. I mean for those having family esp young kids, if you can buy one of these… with 5 yrs warranty and services… its a buy worriless concept for easily next 5 to 6 years…. Then why you should not consider buying? Its a 2023 wishlist thing for me… trading in my G30 for KA4 7 seater. Lets see! 🎉

I just book the 8 seaters High...... Before this I look down at KIA may be previously under KIA.... I read the comments from Bermaz management and after test drive fall in love. Terus booking on the spot. Used to drive XC 90 and CX 9....... during test drive feel a bit like driving those cars. value for money and my family love it. Awaiting the delivery. Hope can use during Raya time......keep it up KIA/Bermaz.

mpv or suv or truck. Strangely we had toss up between a 2022 cx8 n a 2022 Kia Carnival to rent drive from Mel to Sydney for a full family of five adults of drivers. Guess which one we chose for the 2500km trip.

Kia/Hyundai all this while is a pretty good car and brand, just that under weak management from Naza group. I'm pretty confident under Berjaya group this brand will shine again.

I'm really curious - the entrance tbh is that really important vs giving better shock depth for better comfort and better aero dynamic? if really need the space is it ok to sit behind the passenger seat rather than driver? If those 2 are the only concerns I think I'm still ok with the carnival though. the look gives a bit of the escalade vibe in the US (those gigantic rapper car)

Do you prefer the 7 or 8 seater more?

Very good and sincere review bro. U made me changed my perception towards this KIA car. May be the new KIA's have improved a lot. Awesome review. Thanks bro

The problem with Bobby is, when he justifies something. Its always a practical one. So I ended up buying the cars he review. He reviewed Meganne, I got them. He reviewed the F30 back then, also I ended up got them. Now the Carnival? Haih stress.

Due to my experience with vellefire 2.5 2018, nvh, passenger's comfort, road bumps, kia carnival performs way much better by huge margin. You should try both, you might relate later.

I really don't understand people that buying vellparhs, if you can afford that car, that means you're some what rich right? comfort wise, sound deadening was shit, handling was shit feels like sitting in a boat makes people car sick most importantly, can you imagine what happen if you get into a high speed crash in that car? no matter which side you got hit, it's gonna hurt so much compare to other car in that price range Vellparhs makes sense on Japan,Taiwan,HK and other small country that they doesn't need to get up to highway everyday but Malaysia? even a normal 3 lane road you still need to bring the car to a certain speed, makes it so dangerous to all the passenger in that car as a OK income person, isn't that safety is the first priority when you hauling your whole family in a car?

Unless you like recond cars

Great in-depth review of this car. However i think it didnt sit quite well for me when you kept comparing it to other high-end SUV’s such as the X5, Q7, etc. Theyre completely different cars in terms of theirs looks, their usage and people who buy those SUV’s are generally looking for cars with that silhouette rather than a ‘van’ look. It also depends on the opportunity cost of buying this compared to the SUV’s as mentioned, such as regular long distance traveling as a family, having a driver so youll enjoy the comfort at the back seat. On the other spectrum, people who purchase those luxury SUV’s as said are people who perhaps drive alone, or with a partner and who do not wish to drive such a long car everyday. Just my personal opinion!

Thanks for your inputs. I mentioned it challenges those is because it handles like one, rides like one and behaves like one and mind I say, it looks the part too. Whereas the velphards, they provide space and comfort but that's about it. Hence I said the carnival results in premium SUV's having a hard time defending their turf.
