    can you give me pros and cons of the two. they're almost of the same price (1.5M+)

    I heard good things about sta. fe but remains clueless about Kia Carnival

    Kia Carnival SWB ? IMO, i'd go for the Sta. Fe unless you need the extra space that the carnival offers.

    If you're driving, the Santa Fe is seriously better.

    If you're riding, the Carnival has humongous amounts of elbow room and the ride is good enough... I guess it could be softer, but then it would drive like a boat!

    Different strokes for different folks. Which of the two is better depends on what your needs are.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Hi guys,

    I have both the Kia Carnival and Sta Fe...

    Eto lang...

    If I am the only one driving, the sta fe is my choice but if I'm with my family and driver, I prefer the Carnival.

    The biggest advantage of the carnival vs the sta fe is the 2nd row. The width of the carnival is bigger so kahit 4 kayo na small to medium built maluwag pa. Check mo specs, the Carnival is one of widest (width) among its price range... kahit fortuner, MS, puro sila less than 2meters.. Almost same width sila ng LC200 namin. Kung priority mo yan, then it can help you decide. Pero kung gusto mo porma and power, the SF is fine.

    Lastly, if you haven't ridden a sta fe, you won't be missing much since the 2.9 diesel engine is adequate.. Wala lang siyang VGT. Besides, if you're getting the EX, all power yun pati sliding doors and tail gate. The LWB offers a bigger space so if budget permits and you're getting a carnival, get the LWB.. Mine is the SWB -EX

    For me, since we're five in the family, I'll get the Carnival first before the Sta Fe.
