2 Answers
The body dimensions of the Kia Carnival are: length 4930 mm, width 1895 mm, height 1760 mm, with a wheelbase of 2910 mm. The Kia Carnival is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV, equipped with a 2.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 147 kW. The engine reaches its maximum power at 3800 rpm, and the maximum torque is available between 1750 to 2750 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Kia Carnival features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As an owner of a Carnival, I must say its dimensions are incredibly practical. With an overall length of 5155mm, width of 1995mm, height of 1775mm, and a wheelbase of 3090mm, this size creates an enormous interior space. When our family goes on trips, three kids can sit comfortably in the back row with plenty of room to spare, and there's still enough space for a large suitcase and a stroller without feeling cramped. However, the downside of its large size is that parking in the city can occasionally lead to scrapes against utility poles or curbs, especially when navigating narrow alleys where the turning feels a bit cumbersome. In comparison, the Toyota Odyssey is only 4845mm long—much smaller but more maneuverable. The Carnival's MPV design focuses on balanced weight distribution, making it very stable at high speeds and reducing the risk of rollovers. Regularly checking the tire pressure can also help extend its lifespan. Safety comes first, after all, and the large size provides a buffer zone, minimizing passenger injuries in minor collisions. In short, don't just look at the numbers—test drive it at a dealership to experience just how spacious and comfortable it really is.
