The brand new Kia Carnival arrives as a replacement for the Sedona with more masculine looks and the firm intention to lure buyers away from conventional SUVs. There is no all-wheel drive option, however. This modern minivan also stands out from the others with more affordable pricing and a state-of-the-art driver interface. Meanwhile, the 3.5-litre V6 engine under the hood produces 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Pros
- Convincing V6 engine
- Interior ergonomics
- Quiet and smooth ride
- Reasonable fuel consumption
Cons
- No all-wheel drive
- No hybrid powertrain
- Unattractive 7-passenger version
