[oldblue]

[Revenant]

Exterior pics of the Carnival "short-body."





Interior pics of the Carnival "short-body."



European version has three individual second row seats.

[eggman]

powered doors(sliding+tailgate) at rear quarter windows ba?

i asked na bale daw 1.550M(unit)+49thou sa insurance+9 thou sa 3-year LTO, that is kung after the promo nila...(june 30 daw.)

Sulit naman ang LWB version ng Kia Carnival,heck i really don't mind the interior dahil ok naman ang quality nya..

Maliit nga yung SWB(grey ang kulay ng seat trim nito while LWB uses beige trim)..

[alwayz_yummy]

aba, ang may kasunod na mabibili mong power sliding doors at tailgate ay previa na!then town and country na...

hehehe...

[niky]

Actually, the SWB body is much wider than the Carens (oops... it's 2-3-2 pala... I thought it was 2-3-3), but it's very short.... the Starex still has more seat room and useable cargo space. It looks kinda weird... like an oversized Mitsubishi RVR (completely pointless vehicle... tons of rear legroom, but limited rear seats!).

[boybi]

Both the LWB and SWB Carnival's seating config is 2-3-3. The Carens is 2-3-2.

[niky]

The LWB has four rows. The SWB only has three.

[oldblue]

so the Carnival SWB is like the size of the Kia Carens CRDi

what's the main diff?

[alwayz_yummy]

carens:

traditional doors
2-3-2 seating

carnival swb:

2-3-3 seating
dual sliding doors
wider and slightly longer than the carens

[oldblue]

if indeed 1.2M yan SWB with auto slide doors.

wala ng bibili ng grandis at 1.5M and gasoline pa

The Carnival "short-body" has a wheelbase of around 2980mm making it shorter than the current one by about an inch. Dimension-wise, it's almost the same as the model it replaced and is in fact even a little bit wider.

THE 2007 KIA CARNIVAL ITS PERFECT MPV.

[alwayz_yummy]

THE 2007 KIA CARNIVAL ITS PERFECT MPV.

ayon sa brochure na binigay sa akin: its the MPV- PERFECTED hehehe wala lang shameless plug lang :D

if indeed 1.2M yan SWB with auto slide doors.

wala ng bibili ng grandis at 1.5M and gasoline pa

1.550 ang EX trim(lwb) ang may auto sliding doors at tailgate, pati power rear quarter windows walang ganitong features ang mga LX(SWB) trims...

a good/practical run para sa much expensive na previa Q! or town and country 3.0!

for me kasi, di kalevel ng carnival ang grandis-->grandis lines with carens, avanza/innova...but pointless na kung i cocompare pa sa xwind at adventure..

Parang walang ground clearance specs sa website? Anyone have any idea?

[boybi]

The LWB has four rows. The SWB only has three.

The LWB version that I saw displayed in Power Plant mall only has 3 rows.

According to the brochure, the ground clearance is 167mm.

Wheelbase: SWB=2890mm, LWB=3020mm.

[alwayz_yummy]

parang kotse lang ang ground clearance noh?

Oops. My mistake. It's been so long since the Kia Show...

[mikey177]

parang kotse lang ang ground clearance noh?

My old brochure says the ground clearance of the 2002 Sedona is 171 mm, so if the ground clearance of the new Sedona is 167mm, then that's just a 4 mm difference. Anyway, ground clearance is still better than the Hyundai Accent with a ground clearance of 155 mm, or the Getz with 145 mm clearance. The Mitsubishi Adventure, OTOH, has a ground clearance of 180 mm. I couldn't find any figures for the Innova.

BTW, the old Sedona has a long front overhang that scrapes on sharp inclines or aggressively tall humps unless you take them slowly. I hope they improved that flaw in the new version.

Okay lang sa akin na medyo mababa kung minivan... mas madali sa akin pumasok at lumabas sa Sedona kaysa sa Starex namin. The old Sedona stills gets through low floodwaters easily, and the middle bottom portion doesn't get scraped when passing over humps.
