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

The all-new 2022 Kia Carnival is Dinamikjaya Motors’ first model launched ever since it took over Kia’s Malaysian distributorship from Naza back in April.

Take a look at the front fascia with its Robocop-ish prominent LED strip that runs the width of the hood. The strip gently flows into the sides which - other than the fancy wheels - have low belt lines and expansive windows, features that should lend to a rather airy cabin

Since Naza Kia Malaysia updated the 2020 Kia Grand Carnival to an 11-seater MPV, the car’s interior experienced a massive downgrade. Gone were the comfortable leather seats and in its place were beige fabric ones. But it seems there is now an option to upgrade them to black leather. Uploaded on a Facebook post over the weekend, a Kia dealer in Seri Kembangan showed off black leather seats in the new 11-seater Grand Carnival.

Starting a family is a life-changing experience. No more late-night mamak sessions with the gang, no more sleeping for another 15 minutes and definitely no more adrenaline-pumping driving. Every decision you make now is for your family especially for the younglings – even if it means selling your 2-door coupe for a more practical family car.
