As a potential carnival owner…. These ladies KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK when it comes to product videos. If I lived in Canada, I would drive any distance to their dealership to make my purchase simply because of their high quality product videos. Thank you for your work, and YOU BOTH DESERVE A RAISE!
WE PICKED UP OUR 2025 SNOW WHITE CARNIVAL EX ON FRIDAY!!! DAAAAANG IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!! 100 times BETTER than our Dodge Grand Caravan we traded in! It drives more like my car than a van!!
Hi Gabi and Char, I just got the 2025 Carnival SX thanks to all your videos =) Can you do a video or short video about using the physical key vs. the Kia Connect phone key, and the Valet mode, please? Also, is the Glove Box lockable?
We would love to see AWD in the future. I think having a hybrid powertrain is a step in the right direction because it does show that Kia is listening to their consumer base - hopefully, the next step will be introducing AWD. However, depending on where you live, we don't always think AWD is necessary for the winter - usually a good set of snow tires can do the job!
There's widespread battery drain issues with 2025 Kia Carnivals, batteries are experiencing parasitic draw and dying suddenly, I dread my family will be stranded someday if this issue isn't fixed by Kia.
Stay away of this 2025 model, a lot of 2025 carnival owners including me are having battery issues. The battery died for no reason and the car won’t start. Love the car but I’m scared of being stranded in the winter, this is a safety concern, hope they find a solution soon
Good to know, I might be picking up an AGM battery from work on Tuesday!! The Alfa Romeo Giulia had similar battery draining issues but changing them to a better aftermarket battery fixed the problem in most cases.
KH needs to move metal big time as well as Ford and GM start taking market share from everyone for the first time in my lifetime and all thanks to Tesla by and large tho effectively free natural gas in the USA doesn't hurt as well.

Hello,
I just got my Carnival SX here in New Jersey.
Your videos really helped me to decide to go for Carnival
Congratulations!
You girls are a great auto channel on the internet. Expert presentation and production 👌. Still driving my 2016 V6 Grand Sedona
great review Gabby and Char 😀 very informative
Thanks for your explanation of using the technology.
But here in the US, you're not able to use voice command for open side windows very Sad😢

Unfortunately, without a AWD option, this car is a no for me. Shame because I do believe it is the best looking van in the market right now.
This is the only reason I have not bought the car yet. No AWD option.

We have the SX Prestige and was wondering if the camer's have the capability of recording, like dashcam camera's?
No, they do not
@@BrantfordKia ah... but that would be like a nice add-on feature! thanks
Agreed, maybe one day!
What is the cabin capacity? I know the maximum cargo capacity is 140 cu.ft
Does the vehicle come with WI-FI hotspot for passengers?
I love your videos, but I would recommend no longer streaming as it’s really difficult to watch a video in 720p. Keep up the great work!
One other downside is not enough storage on enfotainment
❤❤❤❤
What trim is this?
SX+
This is the SX+!
When will Kia fix the parasitic battery drain that's plaguing the 2025s??? A lot of us are having battery drains every night and Kia is clueless.
Does that apply to the battery drains on the Carnival hybrids?
@@hariknair3765 TBD. It's not on lots in the USA yet, but very likely it'll have an issue if Kia hasn't fixed this yet.

For which gas, hybrid, or both canivals?
@@HS-bi7df gas, hybrid hasn't been released

We are close to purchasing a '25. What has Kia's response been to the problem?
@@svenseven3 We ultimately purchased a 2018 Sienna. Don't want to waste $40k+ on something unreliable, esp when it's for our family.

Neither Sx trim has ambient lighting
Vehicle's are spec'd differently by country. We have the option for ambient lighting in Canada - while some countries may not.
Seems Kia didn't realize if they had made an AWD version of this car, they would have stolen many customers from other car manufacturers.

I am not going to lie. I'm here to see Gabby...❤❤❤
