Spacious interior, ideal for large or growing families
Kia Carnival is a classier people mover that’s cooler than a van thanks to its stylish design on the outside, partly thanks to its SUV-ish look. That’s a nice change from the typical boxy people mover shape, and inside it's surprisingly spacious. You can load it up with kids, dogs, luggage, you name it, and still have room to spare.
Speaking of the interior, it's pretty nice, too. Kia has decked it out with all the tech you could want, like big touchscreens, comfy seats, and even those fancy captain's chairs in the middle row, helping passengers feel like they are in a luxury SUV. The Carnival’s also got all the bells and whistles to keep everyone happy, from the little ones watching movies in the back to the adults enjoying the smooth ride up front. And with all those sliding doors, it's super easy to get in and out, even in tight parking spots.
Ultimately, the Carnival is trying to reimagine what a people mover can be. It's practical, spacious, and surprisingly stylish, making it a great option for families who need a lot of space but don't want to sacrifice comfort or style. They took all the best parts in terms of space from a van and added comfort levels found in an SUV, creating something pretty appealing for many family car buyers in Australia. If you need a family car that's not just a boring box on wheels, the Carnival's worth checking out.

Cons
The Kia Carnival reimagines the people mover segment with its stylish design and spacious, comfortable interior. It brings a smooth, passenger-focused ride that focuses on practicality. Modern tech and comfortable seating layouts make it easier for families to own for many years as the kids grow. While not a performance vehicle by any standard, its refined driving experience and plenty of boot space make it a strong contender for those wanting a people mover that feels premium on every trip.
