Wonderful family hauler
By BigFamCarnival on 9/3/2025 1:33:27 PM
Having a family of 8 I went with the gasoline EX version, knowing I would have a pretty heavy payload every day with all seats occupied. There is plenty of room for everyone, lots of usb charge ports, and after coming from a vehicle with zero safety assist features, they are actually really nice. I haven't noticed any weird glitches after the first 5,000 miles so far. Interior and exterior are extremely sharp, I get tons of attention at kids school or out shopping or stuff like that. Gas MPG isn't so great but if I'm really careful I can hold about 27-30mpg on the highway. All the seats are comfortable and spacious including for rear and front facing car seats. - 5.0
The greatest looking van on the planet!
By El Chileno on 5/21/2024 4:59:19 PM
We owned our fantastic Oldsmobile van for 23 1/2 years. It was time to let her go. My wife insisted on another van, but nothing caught her fancy until I spotted this Kia Carnival van. She immediately fell in love with it. She loved the handling and commented how she did not need a break in period. The driving of it was very natural for her. We bought the highest model and trim. Very luxurious. I call it the James Bond Van. Absolutely love it!
