Is The New Diesel Kia Carnival Australia’s Best 8 Seater?

Big families or popular families - it’s all the same to the Diesel Kia Carnival because whether your kids are always inviting their buddies over and you are the “designated driver” to these little ones or you have your own ‘tribe’, getting the family from A- B has never been more stylish or convenient.

Kia Carnival is the SMART option for folks who don’t want one of those Toorak Tractors that never see off-road because the Kia Carnival is full of smart solutions, practicality and comfort.

We understand that big families are not just big in size.

They’re also big in personality and life! Whether you're family is big in size or you’re just want to fit a few extra friends in, an 8 seater car might be the perfect answer to your needs.

At Kia we think our best-selling Carnival is the perfect family car to match any big families’ needs.

This eight seater multi-purpose family vehicle definitely doesn’t skimp on style or excitement.

The All New Carnival encompasses an incredible combination of style, sophistication and technology with enough room to comfortably carry 8 passengers leaving plenty of space to spare. The people mover has moved on.

No longer does a family vehicle mean a compromise when it comes to aesthetics. The Carnival’s wider stance, clean profile and bold Tiger-Nose grille culminate in a more modern, resolute design. It’s all-new design allows for a more spacious cabin with multiple seating configurations. Go ahead and experience the new standard of people mover today.

Sophisticated Style

The All-New Carnival delivers on style, and creates a truly premium experience for its driver and passengers. A sleeker, more swept back silhouette introduces a higher degree of sophistication. Sculptured surfaces and a strong horizontal body crease ensure the Carnival conveys a dynamic appearance. Sophistication and versatility combined, the All-New Carnival offers the best of both worlds without compromising on either desire.

You have hectic demands of modern family life and we deliver the goods. The Kia Carnival is a truly multipurpose vehicle with an impressive list of features to boot. Its comprehensive active and passive safety features ensure constant peace of mind.

Add versatile seating and storage options and high-tech audio features, and you’ll be set to hit the road with your family….and their friends.

Not so squeezy….the Carnival is Comfortable Versatile and Spacious.

The All New Carnival brings a whole new level of space and versatility. Because no two families are the same, the choice of 7 or 8 passenger seating configurations, slide and stand up second row seating to create floor space and fold flat third row seating means carrying bulky cargo and a tribe of children is completely possible

Everything from the steering wheel-mounted controls to the 6 way adjustable seat and the navigation system (on Si, SLi & Platinum models only) is intuitively placed for convenient operation.
