Since you can easily remove the center seat and even turn it around or use as a table I don't really see a reason to get the 7 seater configuration the 8 seater is more versatile.
Where was this in the late 1980’s. My mother had a silver grey Dodge Grand Caravan. It was a good minivan. We had a Ford conversion van from the early 80’s with all of the brown and tan tones in it. That van was very good for a number of years. My sister slept in the back of the van with one cat. I sat in the 2nd row Captain chairs with the other cat in a chair next to me. My father did drove the van and my mother sat in front with him. It was liked that when we go on our vacations from Illinois to Wisconsin and even back home. I liked to sit behind the driver in that big van. I don’t know why that I did it. When I got older that I liked to sit the opposite side. I used my good knee in getting in the back that depends on the SUV.
Im missing something to divide the cargo area to seating area.. there should be some safety net available. Not everyone is using more than 5 seats, but when all 5 are in use, you ussualy go to some vacation with trunk full of things from the bottom to the roof. Than is a safety net a must, because it protects passangers from flying luggages while breaking or in an accident.
It's available for purchase. I just bought a 7 passenger carnival and I love it for my family of 6. In real life, I'm. Kt fiddling around with seats. I just wanted my kids to get in smoothly without assistance, teens comfortable in the middle and littles comfy in the back and they are! Even if my husband and I go on a trip a long distance, we can rest in those reclining seats.😊
What is the height of the cargo are with one 2nd row seat removed and 3rd row folded to the floor. I am wondering if I can carry a bike that is 38in tall and 70 in long.
I really wish these vans would be equipped to push the 3rd row up. That only makes sense to increase the trunk space since you can move the 2nd row up.
@@LehiTOTS there's another video on RUclips that explains how you can do it. Basically all they did to keep you from doing it was put a little piece of plastic in the railing. You can pop it out with the screwdriver and the seats will lock in place just like they do everywhere else. If you really want them backwards it's probably worth watching the video and doing it all in a total of 30 minutes.
So far I love the car, but don't listen to this "it's easily removable" BULLSHIT. The seats are like 60lb each and they will absolutely be a pain in the ass to remove, reinstall, position, you name it. There's nothing easy about it. And I'm 5'11" dude and in decent shape. If you think a women (like 95% of them anyway) is getting this shit out of the car you've lost your fucking mind. All that aside, they *can* be removed and flipped around and whatever. But it's not quick or easy, and if course, you gotta store those seats inside (they might get nasty in the garage). My advice is to install them how you know they will be used 99% of the time and leave them be.
Totally Cool BUT,….WAY too complicated for us 75 plus grandparents! We actually contemplated buying this vehicle BUT….Old folks need ONE STEP push buttons! Guess we are looking to Ford or GM.
The adjustment and practicality of the seats is top notch. Perfect for whole family to travel or enjoy with friends.

No fancy seats for the kids?
The 7 seater version has bigger 2nd row seat and it's real leather. The 8 seater version is fake leather
@@M_H_HWith 8-seatwr you can remove all seats and have your area for cargo or sleep. 7-seater seats are not removable.
@@Val_Cosmos yes
@@M_H_H I'm debating between Carnival and Mazda CX90 btw.
Igen ez az autó eszméletlen praktikusan és sokoldalúan van elkészítve! Látszik, hogy a mérnökök gondolkoztak rajta! De meg is lett a szép eredménye!

Only thing missing is open roof top 🔝 I really love it very nice
nice how back row sinks in. only back door could be a bit lower so you can just pull something out without need to lift it.
amazing van!!!!! two thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!
We agree!
5:55 is it me or did it started getting convoluted?
I swear the directions got faster and faster
amazing car, have a 4 kids, difficult to drive them in Mitsubishi outlander with 7 sits.
Wow!!! I am very impressed!! I will have you soon KIA GRAND CARNIVAL
That would be cool!
What a nice retro clip of a Renault Espace.

I liked the car very much! Does anyone know the price in Europe?
I love this Kia car😊
And how to clean the small potato chips particles 😮😮
Do you think you can make the 2nd row face backwards and half-stow the 3rd row to serve as a desk?
Sure. Why not?
I think it would be too low to serve as a comfortable desk.
I wanna see ya in a KIA, your gonna love what u drive from sunset Kia,sunset KIA of Auburn!
I love it my favorite very good
I'm glad you like it

difficult to engineer that as it would require disconnecting the mechanism to fold into the floor.
At some point, if you need to move that many people and cargo, its time to buy a full size van.

Great review! I was wondering if the premium 2nd row seats can be adjusted to face backwards? Also, can they recline in the rear facing position?
Only the 8-seater Carnivals can spin the 2nd row seats. The 7-seater "VIP package seats" cannot be removed at all.
Not in the USA version.
สั่งได้ไหมครับ เบาะแถว2
W🤩🤩🤩W !!!
Is this model already entered in Indonesia?
Great review.
SUPER LUXURY CAR CARNIVAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is what van should be. I’m looking forward to get one soon.
i love this van
Price
Love this car
Is this only for certain trims with the 8 seats? I have a lxs but can’t get them to work backwards
Have u figured it out yet?
Supposedly it’s not allowed in the USA models. We didn’t realize that until it was in our driveway

@@TheNondiscriminatory please post the RUclips video link. Thanks.
Dream van
Not good enough unless you can stow flat 2nd and 3rd row in the floor. Also No AWD
Dose not fly or have mud tires. Junk
Tell me what vehicles can do that in the 2nd row while still can do everything the carnival does. Also, AWD.
Kia Carnival ist a SUPER-FAMILY-CAR !! why dont KIA brings the Carnival to EUROPE !??
Nice look

Whats keeps me away from buying this car is
1. No V6 engine 2. History of transmission failures 3. No crash test ratings
It's a 3.5L V6
Interesting👍
Thanks for the visit
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know they made this video of the Kia carnival, you just copied it!
i have the 11 seater 😅
Vip
may other presenter copied these

If you cant press a series of buttons, you should probably hang up the keys for the safety of other on the road.
