According to this road test report of KIA Carnival LS by NRMA on January 2002, the best things about the vehicles are the interior layout and versatility, good space for six people, and the very good value for money. However, there are worst things too. They are the performance feels lethargic at times, space and comfort for center rear occupant, large turning circle, and the fixed center side windows.
Kia has impressed to keep the popularity of its top selling vehicle, the Carnival, with a range of improvements in the latest 2002 models. It is not difficult to see why the Kia Carnival is such a big seller in the people mover section. The Carnival has one of the most spacious and most various interiors in its class and its pricing is highly attractive when compared to its competitors. Lower pricing inevitably results in some equipment cuts, and the Carnival doesn’t perform as well as some of its six cylinder competitors, but so long as your driving necessaries aren’t too demanding, it’s well equipped to do the job expected of a people mover.
The technical specifications of the vehicle like the engine, transmission, wheels, tyres, steering, dimensions, towing, and the test result is also available in the file.
