2024 Kia Carnival in pictures

‘Tiger nose’ grille is wider
LED connecting bands at front and rear
Bonnet is longer, taller & more horizontal
Brushed silver trim breaks monotony in profile

Front seats are big & comfortable, though a little firm
Middle captain seats slide back and forth & left to right
Third row bench seat is best only for two adults

Dashboard is in line with latest Kias
Material quality is really good.
Switchable HVAC/audio controls aren't intuitive.
12.3-inch touchscreen looks slick and techy

2.2-litre diesel engine now uses an aluminium block instead of a cast-iron block.
New Carnival's performance is unhurried but ample.

Ride quality is solid and stable, with some harshness over larger bumps.
New power steering aids manoeuvrability at low speeds and confidence at higher speeds.

What we like:
Spacious, flexible interior
Second-row comfort

What we don’t like:
Price
Engine noise
