Technically the 2022 Kia Carnival (KA4) sits uncontested in Malaysia. Well yes it's an MPV, with lots of seats and a couple of sliding doors, but it's the only one you can buy new in its price range that's built solely for the people-carrying business that's not a sanitised version of a commercial van. We already love the 11-seater, Korean-imported (CBU) variant that came to Malaysia first. It's far more difficult to sieve the negatives in the locally-assembled (CKD Kulim, Kedah) 7- and 8-seater

The fully-imported (CBU Korea) 2022 Kia Carnival is a car we think starts off Dinamikjaya Motors’ Korean-car offensive on the right foot, and it’s more than a match for people looking for a giant MPV that isn’t all agricultural nor boring inside. In this monthly repayment guide, we’re taking the 11-seater Carnival’s (there’s only one variant here) on-the-road prices sans insurance, which starts from RM 196,340, and not factoring in additional accessories. Also, note that the final amounts you’ll

With phone prices being what they are, chances are you spent quite a bit of time researching before getting the device you’re reading this article on. And if Malaysians equate their wheels like they did phones, the 2022 Kia Carnival would be the one tech journos rave about as the underrated flagship killer. Actually that's rather accurate. Having tested the new fully-imported (CBU Korea, local assembly to start later) Carnival, we think it lives up to the interest and then some, deftly balancing

Fixing Kia’s broken after-sales support in Malaysia is the most important (and difficult) task for new Kia distributor Dinamikjaya, a subsidiary of Bermaz Auto, which has taken over the distributorship rights for Kia vehicles in Malaysia effective 1-April 2021. Although many Kia owners are looking forward to a better ownership experience, they have to keep in mind that it’s unrealistic to expect the new custodians of Kia to undo more than a decade of neglect and clean up the legacy issues left b

Shortly after it was spied in the land of smiles, Thailand became the first country to launch the right-hand-drive all-new fourth-generation Kia Grand Carnival. The Kia Grand Carnival in Thailand only comes in an 11-seater configuration. Two variants are available; the base spec SX and the range-topping SXL. As expected, only the 2.2-litre Smartstream turbodiesel engine made it to our region. The turbodiesel engine is mated to an 8-speed conventional automatic transmission and produces 202 PS an

Alongside the launch of the Kia K5, the all new fourth-generation 2021 Kia Carnival also made its Chinese debut at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. Like the K5, the Carnival will ride on Kia’s new iGMP platform and will continue Kia’s technology showcase in the country. The new generation Kia Carnival only just made its global debut last month. It came with SUV-inspired new look but with MPV proportion. It is now larger than ever as Kia engineers have extended the width by 10 mm from 1,985 mm to 1,99
