For those looking for a large, upmarket people mover, the 2022 Kia Carnival is a good alternative over a recond Toyota Alphard / Toyota Vellfire with a questionable vehicle history. Or at least that is how things appear on the surface. After all, the Carnival seems to tick all the right boxes, right? With prices starting from below the RM 200k mark, yet offers 202 PS of power wrapped in an unconventional body with a well-crafted cabin, there's a lot going for the Carnival. Except for two small i

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

Think of a 7-seater and chances are you’re thinking of a family-friendly MPV or a crossover SUV. They might be boring to some but trust us, there are a few gems in this category that were launched in 2020. These 7-seater cars can be very practical and comfortable for the family but at the same time, some definitely surprise us the moment we get behind the wheel. Some might even bring a smile to the petrolhead parent. Without wasting any longer, let’s jump right into the 7-seater SUVs and MPVs th

Last month, Kia revealed the official pictures of the 2021 Kia Carnival. We definitely agree that it is a very good-looking Grand Utility Vehicle (Kia doesn’t want you to call it an MPV), and we really can’t help but wonder if it looks as good in real life. Well, wonder no more! We got the inside scoop from our friends at Korean Car Blog who shared images of the fourth-generation Carnival doing some tests around the Namyang R&D Center completely undisguised! From these few images, it’s safe to s

Kia Motors Corporation has revealed first images of the new Kia Carnival, the fourth generation of the brand’s flagship minivan. Back in April, we were teased with renderings of the rear-end of the new Carnival. The new Carnival features a shorter front overhang, with the base of the A-pillar moved backwards to create a longer hood. Its increased wheelbase also contributes to greater space throughout the cabin. No details have been mentioned on the powertrain, but reports in recent months have p

We often overlooked how much progress today’s automotive technology have made. It wasn’t very long ago that any car with over 100 PS of power and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in under 10 seconds is considered impressive. The original hot hatch, the Volkswagen Golf GTI made headlines with its 110 PS and a 0-100 km/h time of 9.6 seconds. Today’s nondescript family cars offer performance that thirty years ago, was the domain of sports cars, even if the specifications don’t suggest anything remotely
