In the tidy instrumentation and switch-gear, boasting a double trip meter, cruise-control with steering-wheel mounted controls plus a digital clock, for the amazing clarity of audio coming in the sixspeaker stereo, the comfortable feel that the latest Grand Carnival has is sumptuous to say the least. And while all occupants may appreciate the advantages of the double - zone airconditioning, and even trizone climate control within the Platinum version, the driver is going to be quite contented with the strength and refinement of the motor. There are just two engines offered. One may be the torquey 2.2 CRDi diesel-fed motor, and the other one is really a smooth, strong 3.5litre V6 petrol.

Loaded with dynamic and passive safety functions ABS and ESP, every one of the Grand Carnival versions were created with security in mind.

Premium van makers had better watch their backs. The all-new Kia Grand Carnival is quite a worthy people mover that's competitively-priced and lavish.

Can the Kia Grand Carnival take on Euro luxury barges? Let's have a look.

Layout: The layout of the Kia Grand Carnival is roomy and tasteful. I am able to think of the variety of van-like styles that maybe shouldn't have left the style space. Not with the Kia Grand Carnival. The Grand Carnival features a poignant outside design which includes a nose (No chilling drop offs in the front windscreen here!) In the front plus an easy fluid roof-line overhead. Big curvy, triangular headlights in the front and tall tail-lights in the back provide outstanding night-vision and definitely keep the huge wagon looking sharp parked at your own child's friend's house throughout the school rush-hour. Door mirrors, colour-coordinated bumpers and outer door handles, plus a notable waistline make an elegant and classy appearance. The attention to detail, and lines, spill over to the magnificently crafted inside. Adroit utilization of space and smooth curves have created the inside of the Kia Grand Carnival a really open and ample area.
This is definitely no wimpy van. The substantial 225 / 16-inch steel rims, and 70 tyres, on the EXE version give the van a solidly built and strong existence on your way. The size to the Platinum and Premium versions are raised to 235 / 60 tyres. These remain on 17-inch alloys.

Safety: When trusting your whole household or friends into an extended journey on today's chaotic roads it's essential that you think about your automobile to be of superior quality in its security certificate. The Platinum and Premium versions include front side SRS airbags to defend the thorax and pelvis, too as having drape SRS airbags front and back to defend the head and upper torso. Excellent dynamic security is available too.

Luxury: Then your Premium and Platinum versions focus on your needs, should you like that small bit extra in regards to bells and whistles. Leather trim becomes normal. There are armrests within the very first row.(1st row).

The petrol-engine is a V6 DOHC CVVT motor with 3.5litres to have fun with. The 202 kW at 6300 rpm provides lots of smooth grunt. Believing diesel? 429 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm you'll be able to load this baby up, and with then the CRDi 2.2litre motor is industry leading in its power delivery and style and hit the hills effortlessly!
