I don't know if it's true but the new sedona will be launch here in the Philippines on Aug 27 daw sa Kia world event together with the sportage. May CRDi daw na sedona.

Heloo Uwak18! I'm currently out of the country for a business trip. I hope this is true that Columbian has come to its senses.
I'm so excited about the 2006 Grand Carnival (sedona you mentioned) that hopefully it would be a double surprise for the Filipino market, it was my agent who told me several weeks back that they will introduce first the new sportage but if the Grand Carnival made its way sooner to the managemen's decision, this is a big celebration.
It's like double trouble for the competitors. With their recent success in the recent Cebu Auto show (which was sold out, I heared from a friend), this is a big welcome for the new models and let the consumers decide.

Now its official! KIA Motors Philippines will definitely launch the new KIA Carnival in the Philippines on August 26 & 27 at the Fort Bonifacio Global City. Saw their ads today at the Inquirer. I just dont know the engine of the Carnival they would be selling here. Hope that they would be offering CRDI as it is the "in" thing nowadays.

According to KIA Pasay. They've already seen the Carnival sa meeting nila. And The Carnival and Sportage will be CRDi engines.

And sabi nga nila it will be launch on Aug 26 and 27 at the Fort At may car show nga daw sa lahat ng mga Kia owners. They've already invited all Kia Picanto, Sorento, Pride,etc groups to join the event.

Ok! thanks for the latest update. Finally, the long wait is over. And great to hear the news that for diesel versions, CRDI engine is standard. I just wish that the fuel systems for both the sportage and Carnival would follow their Sorento cousin in terms of reliability kahit marumi ang diesel fuel sa atin. Kailangan maka arrange ng test drive sa dealer ko.

Hello Mickey,

Thanks for the support. I will be a regional guy based in singapore. So you can just imagine how big the lifestyle change will be. My trusty old picanto sells at S$34K. While the carnival (2.5V6) is selling at S$65K. Coe included.

My carnival was immediately snapped up by my sister. So presyong kamaganak. The Picanto is being eyed by many but no takers yet.

Masuwerte yung next owner ng carnival dahil nothing to fix. Except for the Bontek cd player na kailangan painitin bago mag read. timing belt, oil pump, ac cleaned, and new tires, etc. are all recently replaced as preventive maintenance at 79K km. Tomorrow I am bringing "Olive" kay zee para wala ng masabi si manang sister ko. Who was also an ex ofw. She really liked the kel seat leather and audiovox dvd player.

I will miss contributing here. Doon nga pala sa singapore luma yung Carnival pa rin yung body!!!! Hindi Sedona!!!!. Tapos dahil right hand drive, walang foot brake. hand brake sa tabi ng driver seat. weirrd.

Sa singapore madaming picanto at getz, altis (still no 1 there). bawal ang CRDI sa paasenger cars. pang commenrcial lang ang diesel. huhuhuhuh. I will miss the launching of the new grand carnival huhuhuhuh

paalis na ako sa monday so good luck to everyone, and drive safely!!!!

hello po mga sir,

wanted to ask, medyo kelangan ko na kasi kumuha ng van for a growing family. anyway, may nakita ako ng 2nd hand 2000 Kia Carnival, mga 17k lang tinakbo kasi yung mayari nasa US naiwan lang sa bahay bihira gamitin. Fresh in/out pa, bekieve it or not, the brandnew smell is still lingering a bit inside the vehicle. naka plastic pa yung mga visors even.

Ngayon lang ako magkakaexperience sa Kia if ever, lahat ng past vehicles ko either toyota, mitsu or honda kasi. it's selling for 450k. is that a good price or too high for it's condition? tnx po!

Ask if he can give it lower. 450k for 17k mileage is good enough.
