All of the younger Gordon's had nothing but praise for the ADAS driving elements.generation gap I imagine.īut there is no generation gap when it comes to these Carnival numbers: V6 290 Horsepower 3500 lb. I guess I'm old fashioned and still like to drive when I drive, so the Carnival's ADAS will take me some time getting used to.maybe next time.

Stepping into and driving the KIA Carnival is kinda like putting on comfortable clothing after being stuffed into a fashionably tight outfit or a shirt and tie all day.its got room, and its room is sure fashionable, functional and driver and passenger friendly.Īlong with their comfortable space, all 2022 Carnival's come equipped with 12 standard Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features, and an optional Blind-Spot View Monitor. Why are you reading about my family when I am supposed to tell you what we all thought about the brand new 2022 KIA Carnival (Nee Sedona)? It's important that you know that my review included a mix and match crowd of Gordon's who needed to be shuttled around San Diego.and the Carnival was up to the task (except for a little short term rear seat squeezing because my tester was not an 8 seat LX model).

This trip was different because of its short dursation and my number One and Number Two grandsons had grown up.the older guy is now a Coast Guardsman and his younger brother now a United States Marine who was ceremoniously graduating from boot camp at MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot) this being the happy and proud reason for the San Diego trip, 6 years later.īecause of our family's penchant for sharing life cycle events, we all (minus one) gathered for this proud occasion, I was fortunate to be joined by 4 out of my five grown children, a second daughter in law, two out of three daughters (number one had to stay in Portland to work), plus another grown grandchild - whew what a wonderful blessing to have children that still support and love each other. Why San Diego you may wonder (or not)? My 2015 Sedona Kia Review came as a consequence of meeting my visiting Japan-based son who had been reassigned to a San Diego area base, along with his wife and their two sons. After landing and picking up our luggage (not so easy) we hopped a shuttle and made a smooth (as usual) test car pick-up facilitated by Brian Pineda of Page One Auto and then started our mini trek down the 405 and 5 Freeway deciding which of the Carnival's ADAS buttons and switches to push on our way to San Diego.easy. To make my trip to San Diego easy, I flew West on a new non-stop flight from Louisville, KY to LA via Spirit Airlines which was easy and I like easy. Its been 6 years since I had the chance to review a KIA Minivan, and just a few weeks ago, like a modern-day Rip Van Winkle, I awoke (not politically) 6 years later in the very same city where I also reviewed the 2015 Kia Sedona SXL Minivan San Diego, where the weather is still perfect, but the city has grown like crazy, and the aforementioned KIA Sedona Minivan has become the KIA Carnival MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) a name that better describes the vehicle's many owner benefits.
