Test drive both Vellfire & alphard, the 2.5 petrol variant are too underpowered for me esp if full passenger. The 3.5 variant, roadtax is too expensive....this 2.2D carnival wt 440nm of torque will be more suitable hauling the whole family but prefer the 8 seats variant
This the best vehicle after driving it around 3 months. Sure, the CKD offer with Bose Sound System, Sunroof, Rotating Seats and etc. But, how many times do you really use that feature such as sunroof. The maintenance, the weather stripping on the sunroof. 60K plus you can go buy another car or for something else. The CBU version is completely enough fulfill the needs for people that a having a big family size. And, It comes from Korea, the torque spec from the factory, the assembled, it is different in Malaysia. We tried the Vellfire, Starex, Innova, CX-8 but it is small to put luggage to go on the road trip. Not including when you stop on the road to buy things and put it more in trunk, it is very spacious when the last seat fold down. This, is the hands down the best car for a big family. Any other cars cannot compete with this new KA4 2022 Kia Carnival. More over, driveablity is even better. It doesn’t felt like you driving a van. To me, it is the combination of Pick Up Trucks and Mpv. The torque is wayy more better to overtaking any trucks, even Land Cruiser. Fitted with cruise control, blind-spot assist and the camera is actually big enough viewing whenever reversed or straight park. The steering angle is better due the car is long and big. The design, some people think it is like Range Rover because the windshield and the Pillar. Front, Rear, Back. When I watched this on UA-cam, it is bery different in real life. It is huge. This CBU already fitted with auto tailgate, auto sliding door and the key fob can turn on the engine by pressing the combination of keys. Really good feature as to cool down the car during hot days or starting the engine in the morning. Oh and btw, it took me 2 hours to wash and detailed the KA4 Carnival. Fuel consumption, very good mileage around 16.6 km/h per liter and the car must use B7 Euro 5 Diesel. (Depends on how you drive and place) Overall, I am satisfied with the decision to take this CBU 2022 KA4 Kia Carnival. Congrats to KIA, not KIN (the logo) 😂
Old news, fren. Bermaz has confirmed 11-seater will continue to be available as CBU now. CKD in future. But I still won't buy it - mid seat no 3-pt seat belt & no headrest. Safety fail. Lack of ADAS. Whole car only 2 isofix. All seats are smaller than the CKDs. Not to mention the ugly side mirror.
How substantial is the RM50k difference when considering a 7/8-seater that comes with advanced safety features? While I'm uncertain about the importance of these advanced safety features, I must note that my maximum budget is set at RM200k. I'm contemplating the trade-offs.
Better visibility, the led projects very nicely on the road and the high beam is more better than installing the light bar. More than that, the torque during overtaking lorry is gnarly. With 8 speed transmission drives very smoothly with better suspension. I’ve just went back from road trip driving the new 2.2 Carnival CBU.
@@idealoptique Exactly. Even the previous Carnival the second value is pretty high still. 2017 Kia Carnival 2.2L 6 speed entry model is RM 154k and after 5 years now the used car market selling around RM 110k, it only drop about 30%. The high resale value even surpass many Honda and Toyota models. My friend so much he wanted a Kia Carnival 2.2L but he shock that it has high resale value despite of 5 years car without warranty.
Hyundai Kia reliability has deteriorated significantly since they began using cheap Chinese parts. The seating capacity is irrelevant if the van is broke down and won't drive. Seating for 11 is fantastic if you could actually use it. The rear seat has zero legroom so it would only work to babies in car seats. If you installed the middle seat in the 2nd or 3rd row you would completely block access to the rows behind. Using the 4th row further eliminates all storage space. Ford and General Motors sell very reliable 4 and 5 row vans that seat 12 or 15 people. Those vans are wider, taller and longer allowing seating capacity, an aisle to access the rear seats and substantially more legroom as well as ample storage space in the rear with all the seats in use.
GC, methinks you could have quoted if anyone wants 8-ppl capacity but with budget slightly less than the C-class & 3 series sedans and WAY LESS compared to E-class & 5-series sedans, the higher variants could well be the answer - but not until the higher variants' seats are proven far more plush than the existing 11-seater 🤣😂
The signals being so down there has gotta be one of the worst designs in history. How would a driver know if a Carnival beside them at close range is indicating they are going into the lane?
Kia should reconsider the interior color because honestly this color will make a lot people reconsider their decision of buying the car lorh! It is not pretty at all!
Few conti car also has brown interior .I have a merc that has brown interior colour.However I just sold it…and I’m waiting for my KGC 8 seat high with same brown interior😂

Love the quick compare shots. Thanks for the extra effort bro
Practicality is really the Grand Carnival's biggest attraction. But also, parking would be quite hard.

(a quick note the 11 seat version is no longer offered in malaysia at least in some dealerships) but it still a very good car

@@ericchan1245 so i recommend a 8 seat variant has a better equipped than 11 seat variant if not there is more options out there
@@aimanfitri0iv yes I'm going for 8 seater High.
@@ericchan1245 that's very awesome
It's not available in the US. My guess is the rear crash test results with that 4th row 😂
Love to see this uncle review cars.
hensem uncle maa hehe

Very good review...keep up the good work!!!
3:50 try to change tyre 236\65 R18 may look more heigher
Good. A fair & honest review.
17:30 Quality issue kantoi. The dashboard is loosely vibrating while the steering wheel is not.
How’s the headlight performance on pitch dark roads? Does it need a light bar?
Better visibility, the led projects very nicely on the road and the high beam is more better than installing the light bar. More than that, the torque during overtaking lorry is gnarly. With 8 speed transmission drives very smoothly with better suspension. I’ve just went back from road trip driving the new 2.2 Carnival CBU.
I like your reviews...honest
Humps are often used on streets, while bumps are used more in parking lots.
Nice review bro 🙏🏼👍🏻
do all the seats rattle and shake when u drive alone?
Nazaria nightmares came back
Nope
Nope, it drives very smoothly on the road, plus the rough road
nice review
Will definitely wait for second hand
everybody is waiting , hence it wont be that low as u think

It's truly a man's second home when the wife kicks you out of the house 😂
Good presentation ❤
How much discount do you give when seniors are going to buy 😃 Thanks a lot oracio sanjoseMaria 🤱
wow this FWD Kia actually had longitudinal engine mount?
yes they had to fit it because have a larger diesel engine which is 2.2 litre
a year ago...
but the review is very well done...
no one will reject big cars with spacious behind...
thanks for your time...
🧡🤟🇸🇬😆😉
Diesel motor good call if you want longevity and fule mileage in a bigger vehicle it’s the only choice
It is a van close to a mini bus for sending kids to school, sending gangs to go for a feud.
😂 Cattle class. Ur configuration is the best. By the by, love from India
Hey GC,may i know what is your height? As i need to measure myself inside that car 😅

When it’s going to launch in India 🇮🇳
The 8 seater version is no longer below 200k
it's now 231k base variant top-end is 261k but it's better equipped than 11 seat version
Outofdate video for this CBU unit, malaysia ady bring the CKD version which more attractive spec. Booring

Did anybody noticed the speedometer vibrating. Wah lau!
that's a ridiculous price for the CKD units! 😳
not 11 seater not categorized as commercial cant sell cheaper
and more safety feature and more feature so for the price its ok
@@lcwpg it is ok. not expensive lol
Ev6& this+ picanto the family all kaudim already
i think the picanto are no longer in production because it has been discontinued
Ya totally agree. Ev6 + picanto + carnival best combo
@@aimanfitri0iv not discontinued. Naza not bringing them.the new model is 1.0 turbo. Maybe some understanding with perodua 🤷♂️
Fuyo good looking
Cant take my eyes off the infotainment unit hahahaha always shaking
Drive one and u LL be classified as lonely grandpa.as I LL be lugging around with an empty van
Imagine lifting it
Kia should reconsider the interior color because honestly this color will make a lot people reconsider their decision of buying the car lorh! It is not pretty at all!
I actually like this colour actually compared to the boring all blacks in most cars
there are more to like on this car than just a colour.. your opinion doesn't matter.. cars are not perfect..
Few conti car also has brown interior .I have a merc that has brown interior colour.However I just sold it…and I’m waiting for my KGC 8 seat high with same brown interior😂
Maybe its only u. We love the colour. It looks neat, elegant, refreshing, bright, instead of boring all blacks interior.
