Test drove Carnival Hybrid, watch it here:
Thank you Kia🙏 2025 Kia Carnival HEV Test drive - Hybrid Carnival is finally here!
ua-cam.com/video/BahCPL_fcYk/v-deo.html
Can tell from start that it's V6, love that V6 full throttle engine noise inside. My granddaughter who always sits on the third row...screams "Mkhulu, u r speeding again "😂 everytime that engine bellows up 🤣👌
V6 NA RWD never thought these combinations would be so nostalgic! 😭
Thanks for the video, it is fantastic, been waiting for one with English speaking for a couple of months now
You are welcome! Hybrid review coming soon!
It was wonderful meeting you and working for January 2024.
It is unbelievably good every time what I do. Congratulations 🎉Minah Simone 🧠💯
I love that "new car smell" When i view new cars in the dealers showroom the first thing i do is open the door of the car and take a deep breath.....Beautiful. When i purchased my new car, the new car scent inside only lasted a week. Pity. Great video. Thanks!!
Hahaha I mean I get that too. I precisely know what you mean :)
that's toxic
Thank you again for the video...! Will sure be following you! Merci
You are welcome! 🥰
Besides the beauty of carnival, your English is beautiful too
Thanks for this beautiful review
So is your comment 🥰 Have a beautiful day!
He is likely an American.
@@elbowstancenow1519 I'm Korean :)
감사합니다. 모든 동영상을 정말 재미있게 시청하고 있습니다.
시청해주셔서 감사합니다!
Amazing! Can’t wait to test drive wanna come see US
thanks for the great review! hi from moscow
Thanks!🇷🇺
I just pre ordered one with my local dealership. Looking forward to receiving it in July 🎉
Good choice! Envy you!
bravo! we definitely need this review yet the hybrid model with colors or upgarde like gravity introduction~~ WWell done! thanks a lot!
Hybrid review coming soon :)
Nice review and you English is amazing.
Thanks! 🙌
Thanks for the review I was in the market for a minivan and I’m happy I passed on the 2024…2025 looks outstanding
Good choice! :)
Great video..!
Glad you like it! 👍
Nice review
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi man🙋♂️
You are one of the very few car reviewers who not only make their videos in English (despite the fact that English is not their primary language) so basicaly everyone who speaks English to understand but I noticed that you offer closed captioning in Romanian. The titles are translated as well based on the account location.
👍Kudos for that!👍
PS
Btw I saw that you replyed to a Romanian guy who just posted this comment: Salutare si la multi ani!
Based on your answer I figured out that the translation didn't captured the idea expressed by that guy.
So I translate for you that very message.
Salutare means Hi or Hello
La multi ani it's a traditional Romanian whish that word by word means Many years (to you) or Long live. We use this whish on different ocasions: birthday anniversary, Christmas, New Year etc. The idea behind this whish is that: not only that very day to be happy, healthy and fortunate but many years from now on.
La mulți ani from Romania!🎄🇷🇴🥂
Respect 🙋♂️
Wow, thanks for the comment and appreciating my hard work translating the captions and titles in over 30 different languages, including Romanian :) Also thanks a lot for the translation, I use Google Translate to communicate to best of my ability 🥰
The ultimate carnival English review 🎉
Thanks 🙌
watching from Canada
Thanks for watching 🇨🇦
I never bought a Kia or Hyundai before but this is on my list, for sure. Love this minivan. side crash tests were poor, though on the 2024. I hope they improved on that for 2025
Fantastic video and car, love it. Will the Carnival ever come back to the UK?
Sure do hope so! 🤞
That’s how you make a van good looking. It looks like an suv. I wish they made it all wheel drive.
Agreed! 💯
Ur English speak good. I like it. ❤❤
Thanks!
Great review! Will this be coming to USA in late 2024?

I heard that hybrid trim will offer optional AWD, I am really excited about it. Now in Canada it is impossible to buy a Sienna and Odyssey has not offered AWD yet.
I really hope they offer the 2.5 turbo 4 cylinder hybrid that I heard is under development because the 1.6 hybrid sounds underpowered to me.
Nice review keep up the good work
@@jeffgao No AWD even on hybrid with this model, unfortunately🥲
Wonderful family vehicle!and Wonderful report!
Thankyou Mr CarScene OPPA!
2024 is Korean cars Genesis!
Now I really thinking about import wanderful Korean cars.
Japanese market needs more unique cars.
We wants
N and GENESIS and CARNIVAL!
😂
Let's get N first 😉
design language be like: XL sized Sorento, especially the gravity trim
still, the interior texture looks really good. Love this gray cover and finishing
The front look, yes. It's often hard to differentiate them when you are facing the front directly. However, the rest are completely different inside out.
I love your channel I watch all your car video and also it make more can do the explain the meaning like for example 9:50 to 10:00 you example about NVH.
Thank you very much for watching and this kind feedback. I'm glad you find it helpful, will keep it going 💪
Glad to see the Korean manufacturers are finally getting it, no one wants turn signals low in the rear bumpers.
Consider adding window rain cover on top of the door or where the window goes up when you close
Hello, thank you for the video. I was wondering how good/bad the 3rd row access is with the masaage captains chairs. There looks to be barely any space for anyone to fit in between the seats. You also mentioned the swivel function. Did you get a chance to try it and does it work well for 3rd row access?
I had very limited time and resource with the Carnival video - which always is with Kia cars 🥲 - I will be test driving a hybrid Carnival soon, will check it if it comes with the captain seats!
Thanks for video. Inside car fresh flow, but outside odler (2015-2020) is better in my opinion. 1:18 third car :)
Can you do a Hybrid Carnival video? BTW this video was great
I am test driving it next week in fact :)
@@CarSceneKorea looking forward to it. Subscribed
Welcome aboard :)
Thanks for a detailed review of the facelist Carnival. Does the petrol version and the hybrid version comes only in Captain's chair configuration i.e. 7 seater or an 8 seater config as well ?
Both available in 7 and 9 seater configuration.
@@CarSceneKoreawhat’s a 9 seater? Is there not an 8? I’m confused. Do you mean the limousine?
We have 3 kids, and we will need a minivan or MPV at some point. My only argument against dropping my Wrangler and switching to this is the lack of AWD. They could add a hybrid powertrain, powering the rear wheels with e-torque. Once AWD comes to the Carnival, sign me up.
Great point. It's not available for now, but that sure does sound possible and promising!
Agreed, very promising!
This looks good! Kia used to be a bottom tier brand in the early 2010s. They shot up quick!
Coming in hot🔥
Do you recommend the hybrid model ? Underpowered? How does it compare to the Toyota Sienna hybrid ? Thank you.
I am soon test driving the hybrid, hope I can see you there!
From 2022+ Kia Carnival General Discussion Forum :
I just got the 2023 SX Prestige but there has been some rattling noise when I driver on the bumpy road/ uneven surfaced road.
I have this also. Same (perceived) location. Can't really pinpoint location. May be in driver's door as it sometimes goes away if I open and close the door at a stop.
I just got a new Kia carnival 2024 sx and am hearing the same rattling near the front side/seat belt column area on both drivers and passengers door.
Yep. Same issue with me. It seems to only make the noise on the highway. But it is totally random.
I’m having the same issue with my 2024 SX prestige. The noise seems to be from driver/sliding door on driver side.
I have the 2024 Kia Carnival and I hear rattling noise when I drive over uneven roads/pavement coming from the rear of the vehicle.
Got our 2023 SX Prestige last week and from the first mile itself, I could hear some clunking noise from the back when I go over bad patches of road/speed bumps.
did anyone had same problem as mine... squeaking / creaking sound from dashboard when drive on uneven / bumpy road...
Yes! Got our car on Oct 22, 2022. It’s an ex 2023. Today 10/27/2022 I started to notice. Creaking noise when I stop and go and on some slightly bumpy roads…. I don’t like it
I have a kia carnival sx prestige, I have the creaking sound just whenever it wants to make the noise, I have replaced the struts and mounts, leftside lower control arm and the brakes and still the same sound, took it to kia and they charged me for 2 hours of trying to figure it out, 465.00 . I had someone tell me it sounds like 2 pieces of plastic scraping rubbing together and the noise sounds like under the driver's seat to him. I about to trade it for a dodge.
I have a noise at random times on the highway. Sounds like it is coming from the lower part of the driver side door.
Anyone find a fix for this, my 22 EX+ model is doing this, seems like plastic trim behind the dual screens in the noise source.
Sorry to hear that, noises are big PITA, been there done that. Hope you'd find solutions to that and really wish Kia service would take care of it 🥲
RIP Toy-ota. Coming for you next Honda!!!
Will there be a version of the Carnival with Amber (yellow) daytime running lights (DRLs) like on the facelifted Kia Sorento and the K5?
Most likely for the market that's already been getting it.
I think kia and Hyundai does blind spot emergency braking as well. Seen it in action couple of times when an adjacent car crosses the line in a turn.
Didn't happen to me yet, there is emergency brake when reversing a car.
Great kia! Now where's the AWD Carnival? Please make it for Canada.😊
Not on this model, unfortunately 🥲
عالی🤩
If KIA or Hyundai have more long-term reliability, it's probably the best car brand without hesitation!
Issues:
1. Transmission
2. Suspension
3. Machinery
Above 5 years those 3 are the major issues, not recommended for people who's planning for 10yrs ownership.
Hope they can improve "fix" them in tg3 future
don't even need to be above 5 years. Know many people who have had major issues within first two years, Including one customer that Kia replaced the car and the replacement required new engine within 24 months.
Weve owned 2 Kias, (Rio and Sportage)both for 10 years and neither has had any mechanical issues. Very high chance that our next car will be a Kia also.
This is going to be the minivan to beat. Jd power has it rated right below the Odyssey and ahead of the sienna.
Kia coming in hot 🔥🔥🔥
I have been driving a 2014 santa fe and I will by the 2025 Tucson don't need the third row seats and don't like the entrance hight of getting in and out of the santa fe broke my ankle last year and getting in and out was a major problem so I chose the Tucson
I am debating between the Carnival or Sportage Hybrid... Really wish I could afford both! 😅
I know the answer to this! It’s Sportage because you won’t be debating between the two if you had to go with Carnival 😂
so is facelift is different from full redesign? and when is it arriving in US?
This isn't an all-new just yet, but a facelift. It typically takes about six months to reach other parts of the globe🥲
Is this the 2024 or the 2025? You keep saying 2024 in the video.
The optioned 2025 Kia Carnival with the messaging 2nd row captain chairs should also be offered in the US market. From what Kia has shown at the 2024 US auto shows this year, the messaging 2nd row captain chairs were not available.
Just like it wasn't with EV9 🥲
the Canadian version of 2024 Carnival has the "Passenger Monitoring" to view the 2nd and 3rd row passengers while you drive. Does the 2025 Carnival's still have this feature?
Specs and options do vary depending on the market, best I can do is show you Korean specs 🥲
@@CarSceneKorea thank you so much for the answer! your reviews are great and the videos are high quality ! well done.
'Large behemoth size vehicle' = Mini Van.
😂😂😂It is one of the largest cars here in Korea.
Perfect vehicle for dads who refuse to drive a minivan
Agreed! 💯
please raise the ground clearance for off roading, my car's bottom is keep hittin kerbs and bumps. If you increase ground clearance or make saperate model, trust me carnival sales will sky rocket. Specially in Australia.
Speciality car modify the suspension here in Korea for the same reason 🥲
@@CarSceneKorea i can modify here in Australia too, the issue is the kia warranty will become invalid.
Indeed.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
can anybody answer this questions for the coming 2025 gasoline only (US-models):
1. are all 2. row seats (none VIP Lounge Seating) unmountable in all trims?
2. which trim will offer at least one sunroof?
3. which trim will offer roof rack installation?
4. any chance to see AWD in 2025 (gasoline model)?
2025 US Carnival Update. US specs will most likely not include the massage seat functionalty. This feature was unavailable on EV9 as well. Not a deal breaker though. US specs now also include optional 14.6 inch second row entertainment tablets. US specs may not include the fingerprint reader by the shifter. Currently, waiting for Kia US to update its website so I can order this new 2025 model (SX Prestige / Gravity or Dark Trim)
Thanks for sharing the update! The 14.6 in monitors are awesome, loved it on Genesis G80 Facelift. Glad the US spec isn't just watered down version of Korean spec.
How does the Hyundai Santa Fe compare to the 2025 Kia Carnival in terms of space?
Not a match, regardless of the seat configuration. Carnival is a category of its own that no other can compete - at least from HMG.
So does the captain chairs fold down as well???🤔
Yep, fully flat as well!
Looks like a special Ed Cadillac XT4 and XT6 😅😅😅😅😅
Will the new Kia Carnival facelift feature rear entertainment tablets like the current 2024 model?
I'm checking out a few more carnival tomm, I will see if they have them.
@@CarSceneKorea thank you. I will custom order one when they are being shipped to the US. Every youtube video on this new facelifted model does not show or talk about them at all.
I didn't see in any of 3 Carnivals I saw, perhaps it's early stage and no display Carnivals have them. If it was available on the last model, most likely we will see that on this model as well. However, specifications differ based on markets.
@CarSceneKorea Thanks for the quick response and assumption. It's not a deal breaker but just an added upscale feature. If the US Market does add it, some magazines have reported that the size will be increased from 10.5 " to 14." It would be really great if they were detachable.
Why no AWD though?
Not just yet. Perhaps with the next all-new model.
I think he knocked his head on the door before entering into the car and travelled 1year further 😂😂
Haha 😂 The funny way of cars being labeled here in Korea. +1 for the model year.
Does it have all usb-c instead of usb-a? Or a mix?
It was all C-type if I recall correctly.
Did Kia remove 2nd row middle seat option for hybrid ?
Seat configuration could differ from a market to another.
Is the vehicle available in North America?
Should be one day.
Do any trims have headlights with active shadowing?
IFS? Intelligent Front Light System (IFS) Not on this one, nope.
@@CarSceneKorea thanks
Salutaresi la multi ani !”
Nu al meu, dar mulțumesc?🤣
잘보고갑니다.
시청해주셔서 감사합니다 🥰
I see the 2024 US version is still the old model. It's not the refresh here in the US.
Why I labeled it to be a 2025.
When is the expected release date for the canadian market?
Will the production be impacted by the chip shortage? What are the announced prices for north american market? Thank you!
Direct conversion from Korean Won to USD:
34,700,000 KRW ≈ 31,230 USD
48,560,000 KRW ≈ 43,704 USD
It usually takes about half a year to reach other parts of the globe 🥲
And there's no longer chip shortage I believe.
@@CarSceneKorea Gamsahamnida!
천만에요 :)
looks are opinion based. BTW, how reliable is this and will it hold up to resale value compared to the Sienna? LOL
Any new car is nice but it only matters 10 -20 yrs down the road.
Oh and I HATE DIAL KNOB gear shifters.. smh
We know the column shifter type will be there for the next one at least ;)
Wish it had AWD and four wheel steering.
That'd be really nice. But doesn't seem long we see one.
without the guaranteed death of my children sitting in the back at any side impact, I would buy.
Why do you say that?
When it will be available in india
It typically takes about six months to reach other parts of the globe🥲
the front part is of course scary
What about LPI version? Other versions are not interesting me.
No LPi for this Carnival.
@@CarSceneKorea thank you for answer.
@@rq9638 My pleasure.
Just waiting for this in the US
It typically takes about six months to reach other parts of the globe🥲
@@CarSceneKorea we will wait for this beautiful minivan
You thinking May??
Este carro no Brasil é para milhonários, custa 0,5 milhão, mais blindagem e adicionais. A versão vendida aqui é diferente da que você tá mostrando. Porque as Kias e Hyundai do Brasil são todas hiperluxuosas.
E o vendedor da Hyundai e da Kia sempre estão brigando um com o outro.
É sempre interessante ouvir como a Hyundai e a Kia estão se saindo ao redor do mundo. Obrigado por compartilhar!
Haha, eles são realmente concorrentes.
Is this cheaper than the new santa fe?
Depends on which one you get, but Carnival can get much more expensive.
what about remote start?
You can do that using the app, Kia Connect was it? Could differ to a market to another though.
Is the hybrid optional? I hate hybrid and electric. I’d rather skip all those problems.
Yep, optional. You can choose a gasoline model and diesel for selected markets.
Kia in the US the biggest problem is not about cars , is dealers management/regulation ....Couple moths ago I bought 2 cars , one compact suv and one min van . I was considering Carvan and Sportage hybrid . Both of them in the class are unbeatable but end up I bought corolla cross hybrid and Sienna . The most issue for me is KIA's rudeness dealers...
Seems like the US doesn't get the coolest models !!! It sucks when vehicles are offered but can't find one to purchase or at msrp !!!
One day! 🤞
is it awd?
FWD, no AWD available.
So a big car means we need more traction. Fakken no AWD??
Not just yet on this model, hopefully a next all-new.
is it AWD though or still RWD?
You mean FWD? It is 2WD only, no AWD 😭
yeah, ahh darn@@CarSceneKorea
why does it have the Venue cluster screen
Hmm? Where at?
Suv platform ?
Awd?
Ground clearance?
No AWD, the new platform used on the latest Sorento, 3rd generation. Not sure about the clearance.
Your title says 2025.
Blom masuk indonesia kia carnival terbaru
Semoga segera terjadi!
2024 in Indonesia
No AWD is a hard pass. What was Kia thinking?
Hopefully on the next all-new model 🥲
how about 2025 ncap new carnival
Should be hearing about it soon.
South Kia itching for a *gm* lawsuit I see with these headlight signatures 😂
Designs do overlap a lot in a way these days 👀
Kia2025
I understand sunroofs can be essential in campers. But who in their right ming wants to cry squinting against the sun. Not easy to sleep during the trip.
Needs AWD Htrac
Perhaps on the next one 🤞
Best looking is subjective. It doesn't have a nice front look imo. Pacifica s package is still the best looking
High roof for the soccer moms with BBL. 😂
