Company car: all new Kia Carnival vs promo discounted Expedition EL vs wait for 2021 Explorer

Ask if the Carnival has the V6 gas variant bro. More up your alley vs the turbodiesel.

As if KiaPH would do that. Matumal nga sales ng Sportage gas variant. They didn’t even bother to bring a Sorento gas model. The Stinger GT remains a media darling but noone is buying. What more with a V6 minivan?

Problem solved [emoji16]

Kausapin mo na rin yung BJMP senior official na libre parking sa iyo yung tinatago nyang RR. Hehehehe

Expedition. The layout of the current Expedition is very minivan-ish anyway with captain second row so its primary role as a people carrier is handled, with the added bonus of SUV gravitas.

Ingress/egress is not much of a concern because the 7 you're planning to seat I'm assuming is you, your wife and kids, driver, and yaya. So no elders which is the only advantage of a lower Carnival vs higher Exped.

Yeah i hope she agrees! Really leaning towards the expedition hard core. The 1m discount is as humongous as the car.

The EL fully loaded 4x4 model they are selling here is 4.6m less 1m discount = 3.6m

In the usa same exact model with captains chairs is 85K US$. So its selling at a loss here.

Value for money talaga in that price bracket. And will probably last a long time as well.

Bullet proof din chassis ng Exped. In the US, I had an old 97 Exped. It’s far off from the tech and features of the new Exped but it was a work horse. It was able to let me travel even with deep snow during winters. I helped moved home stuff for my Pinoy coworkers out there in the western suburbs of Chicago with its big cargo space.

Appeal to your wife's practical side since the Exped is really good value for what you pay for. It's as good a deal as the Carnival was when it was launched here at 1.6M vs 2.2M true SRP.

Does the EL have the new Ford Co-Pilot 360+ ?

**ray_noel** · November 5th, 2020 05:49 PM

I hope kia will bring their telluride or pallisade...

However in your choices i would go for expedition...
Space are more than enough plus the luggage...
