Kia Carnival or Toyota Innova?

[memnoch]

What is your analysis on this one guys? We're looking for a good family mpv...It seems these 2 are almost the same in terms of exterior look..mas manguso lng ata ng konti yung carnival..

1) passenger comfortability
2) which has a higher ground clearance? for better flood wading
3) fuel efficiency
4) handling
5) cheaper maintenance cost
6) spare parts cost and availability

[BoyBawang]

Hands down Toyota Innova IMHO ..add High Resale Value! :D

[Retz]

My analysis is you should go with the Innova.

[meledson]

Between the two, I will opt for the Carnival. For me it is a better MPV. but mas malakas sa diesel and potentially more expensive to maintain.

INNOVA talaga

[NiCe2KnowU]

innova..............

[vinj]

Practicality points at the Innova but for my own personal use i'd get the Carnival (safety ratings and comfort).

1) passenger comfortability - Carnival
2) which has a higher ground clearance? for better flood wading - same lang sila. nakasubasob kasi ang innova kaya mataas ang rear unlike carnival na pantay lang
3) fuel efficiency - innova siguro pero mas malaki ang carnival hence the extra fuel consumption
4) handling - carnival
5) cheaper maintenance cost - kung brand new same lang yan
6) spare parts cost and availability - not a problem for korean cars nowadays..

if i were to choose.. i pick kia carnival... spacious at comfortable talaga.. mas malaki ang carnival sa innova

1. For passenger comfort sa carnival.
2. Innova has higher ground clearance.
3. Innova is better in fuel efficiency
4. Driven both parang mas ok handling ng carnival because its lower and wider.
5. Same lang maintainance cost siguro. Kia parts are cheaper than toyota.
6. Spare parts walang problema. Its all available sa goodgear pasay para sa kia. Sa toyota kahit saan meron like gant sa pasay o sa banaue. Pero mas mura talaga kia parts.

Para sakin ok pareho. The only problem is the "KIA" badge. Alam mo naman dito sa pinas. Puro bukang bibig e big 3 lang (honda, toyota, mitsubishi). Patay na agad sa resale value.

I sold my innova G manual for a carnival swb lx manual
1.kia sits 7 adults comfortably. innova third row crampy
2.more powerful crdi wgt engine
3 flexibility of space.. you can remove all back seats and load even 2 big washing machines
4.better ride suspension and comfortable seats
5. availability and reasonable cost of parts than innova
6.maintenance same as innova
7 carnival consumes a little more gas
8. carnival with dual aircom with front climate contgrol
8. carnival more expensive but more features

Mainly I'd go with the SWB Carnival, except for:
- Lower ground clearance (depending on your usual parking areas, the front lip might get scratched).
- 3rd row seats do not fold away, they have to be removed (unlike the Innova's, that can be folded to the side, so you'll just have to plan your hauling/loading of big items).

Definitely the Kia scores on:
- passenger comfort. Good car like ride, and sitting room for adults in the 3 rows.
- handling - coz it handles like a car, or a slightly taller one.

Sadly, there is no more SWB A/T.

Personally, I'd go for the LWB AT if you have no problems with parking space. Though it's longer, it more flexible IMO.

buy a 2nd hand carnival 2009-11 model-- much value for money at mababa ang resale value...

stated nanaman halos lahat ng pros. and cons...

add ko pa.. wider by more or less 11 inches ang kia carnival...

3rd row can comfortably seats 3 adults... 4 kung kids...

when it comes to f.c. malakas compare mo sa innova... at super tipid naman kasi ang innova...

at IMO its higher in class than the innova

[rukawa11]

innova ako reliable , mahirap sumugal sa carnival hindi pa masyado subok

[CVT]

For 2016,-

If you have the dough,- go for the Carnival....

Innova if you're going to drive it yourself, Carnival if you have a driver. The Carnival is so wide it's challenging to find a parking spot. Narrow slots and narrow spaced between parking rows are big no-no's. Imagine being just as long as a GS but much wider. The driver's view of the front is also limited, and ground clearance is pretty low. That with the long wheelbase makes tall speed bumps really annoying. But apart from that, the interior is no contest. Carnival is definitely much more upscale in interior appointments.

Carnival for me especially after having driven one last week as our rental car in the US, loved the way it rode and handled although the one I drove is the gas V6 version. But i believe the the diesel version being sold here is no slouch either. Loved the US version Sedona/Carnival that I drove that it got me thinking about selling my Grand Starex.

The Innova is also a good choice, really depends on your needs.

Parang baliktad for me. Mas refined ang carnival kaya mas masarap idrive compared sa innova. So ibigay mo na sa driver ang innova at ikaw na lang sa carnival

Heard good reviews sa carnival except one: prone sa holdap kasi super bagal magclose nung power side doors. Nakapasok na kawatan sa loob kotse d pa fully close. Tapos d daw pwede manual close. Can you confirm this carnival owners?

The Carnival does have physical door handles which, I believe, should be capable of closing manually. Besides, the power sliding doors are optional equipment present only in the high end variants.

Ground clearance of Carnival and Innova are pretty much the same, with only negligible difference, if any. Parts should be widely available for both as well. Carnival should also have the more reliable fuel system in the long term since it uses the German Bosch system as compared to the Innova's more finicky Denso system. At just around 1.1M for the M/T SWB variant, the Carnival is definitely more bang for the buck. FC also shouldn't be that bad with the manual variant, not to mention the excellent performance that comes with such a setup.

when it comes to parts, kia is always cheaper.. just source it outside case...

you can get it at banawe fronte... or goodgear pasay...

when it comes to availability of parts... pareho lang madali hanapin....
