The Kia Carnival Hybrid has been great so far. It is smooth and quiet to drive. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, which makes a big difference on longer trips. The interior software and hardware functionalities are pretty user friendly too. Overall, it's a really practical and enjoyable ride.Of course, Dom Wong provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was patient and attentive, taking the time to address all my questions with care and clarity. His prompt responses and consistent follow-ups made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Dom to anyone looking for a professional and reliable sales consultant.

Today is the 3rd day of owning this ride. I must say it's a very good mpv for family usage. Kudos to sales advisor (Dom Wong) from KIA as he have been very patient in answering our queries from the day we step into the showroom till the day of car collection. Do look for him if you are interested in buying KIA cars!What I like :- Spacious- digital cluster with big infotainment screen- ventilated seats for first and 2nd row- huge boot space to store things- Bose sound system - quiet ride- 2 panoramic roofs (my kids loved them)- 1.78m tall means able to enter most carparksCons :- huge car so need a bit of time to find suitable parking lot (360 camera for the car helps on this)- digital rear mirror not included (will be helpful as with full passenger load it's a bit hard to view the back)- Kia connect app not yet available for Singapore market (hope this feature will be enabled soon)Overall, I must reiterate again that this is really an awesome car to own! 😊

We are absolutely loving our new Kia Carnival�it's spacious, stylish, and perfect for our family. Despite being a seemingly huge car, it gives us so much confidence on the road. The turning radius is awesome, and the combination of the sensors and the fly-by-wire steering makes driving�and especially parking�surprisingly easy.The highlight of the experience, however, was working with our salesman, Dom Wong. Dom was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the entire process. We had a lot of questions and requests, and he took the time to address every single one without making us feel rushed. He was also super responsive whenever we reached out. If you are looking for a Kia, I highly recommend asking for Dom!

Was looking around for an MPV with sliding doors due to having toddlers. Recently many chinese models appear in the market but they are not height friendly (1.9mtr onwards) and too techy (massage seats etc). Previously driving a mid-sized MPV with 2-3-2 configuration, saw Carnival 7-Seater with a 2-2-3 and was glued to it since the 2.2 Diesel model. Went ahead to purchase 1.6 Hybrid as i have driven diesel passenger cars before and the road tax is a deal breaker. Car is fantastic, owned for 2months and just pumped twice included that one time during car collection.Took a week or so to get used to the hybrid regen pattern and mileage can be improved. Personally achieve 890km on 1st tank and 920km on 2nd tank. Daily driving pattern is 90% City, total 10km/day with 1hr on the road.C&C was able to provide a very good deal and Zed was proactive in pushing for buyer's interest.

Verdict
The Kia Carnival Hybrid has been updated with new head lights and a new front grille but still looks as imposing as before.

Hop into its cabin and you'll find that the car also now makes use of two 12.3-inch screens housed within a single-piece panel. Also present here is a switchable LCD control panel, which makes accessing the car's infotainment and climate control setting a breeze.

Space for all in here is decidedly generous, and even with all seven seats in place, the MPV will still offer a commodious 627 litres of space in its boot.

But take the driver's seat and you'll find the Carnival feels light off the line, thanks to its 1.6-litre turbocharged engine. A well-judged steering means most should find piloting the car a breeze, while a well-balanced suspension setup also means all seated within won't be disturbed, even if the car travels over pockmarked roads.

For offering a combination of bold design and high passenger space and comfort, the Kia Carnival takes the title of our MPV of the year.
