Test drive: The 2022 Kia Carnival is a minivan in disguise
Fox News
The 2022 Kia Carnival is called a multi-purpose vehicle, but that's just a fancy way of saying minivan.
Unfortunately for them, the fact is that it’s about the same size as a Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna or Chrysler Pacifica/Voyager and has sliding doors and a deep cargo area behind its third row, so it is very much a minivan.
Its styling is boxier than any of those to give it more of an SUV look, however, and it has a pair of dashing chrome panels on the sides that act as shiny sideburns to add some unexpected flair.
Inside, the driver will appreciate a low window line that offers great forward visibility and a modern dashboard with dual widescreen digital displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. The center stack is filled with auxiliary controls, many of which are touchpads that continue the contemporary look, but are finickier to use than the traditional buttons they replace.
