Kia Carnival vs The Competition

How does our new Kia Carnival compare to the competition?

Here at Golling Kia of Madison Heights, we're proud to serve families from all over the metro area with our compelling selection of new Kia cars. However, serving such a diverse array of customers means that we understand that there's no one-size-fits-all vehicle for family transportation. But perhaps while we have a wide array of compelling new Kia sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and even EVs for families around the greater Madison Heights area, perhaps the most compelling pick these days is the new Kia Carnival.

As one of the newest additions to our Kia portfolio in recent years, the Kia Carnival is our most capacious passenger vehicle in our portfolio these days, offering ample room for growing families throughout the city. Couple that with its generous array of standard and available features and the latest Kia Drive Wise safety tech onboard, and it's not hard to see why the Kia Carnival is favored for everything from running the kids to and from school to family trips out of state.

But while the Kia Carnival is making waves in its segment, it's matched up against some established competitors from brands like Chrysler and Honda. But while these foes are formidable to say the least, our new Kia Carnival handily outclasses them with its smart design and sophisticated features. Read on to learn more from our competitive comparisons or stop by our showroom here in Madison Heights to take the new Kia Carnival for a test drive today.

The Kia Carnival vs. The Chrysler Pacifica

  • Flexible Second Row Seating: Perhaps the best thing about buying or leasing a new Kia Carnival is that while the front seats are comfortable for both short errand runs around town or long-distance trips, the rear seating offers almost unparalleled flexibility. From available second-row captain's chairs that slide, recline, and offer both heating and ventilation to a second-row bench seat with a middle seat that slides forward to keep your little ones close at hand or folds down into a table that's accessible to second and third-row passengers, the cabin of the new Kia Carnival boasts a myriad of innovations to make the time on the road with your loved ones more convenient. Now, while the new Chrysler Pacifica may have second-row Stow N' Go seating, it's functionality pales in comparison to the wide variety of configurations and options afforded to you by the new Kia Carnival.
  • Luggage Space: Whether its groceries and gym bags or all your family's suitcases on a cross-country road trip, the new Kia Carnival has space to spare with over 40 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its third row. With the new Chrysler Pacifica, you'll have to make do with just over 32 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its third row.
  • Parent-Friendly Features: From its two-way cabin intercom system to its second and third-row cabin cameras with night vision so that you can keep a close eye on your little ones even on longer trips, the new Kia Carnival is packed with innovations that families are certain to appreciate. Unfortunately, Chrysler Pacifica owners won't find any comparable features on their vehicle.

The Kia Carnival vs. The Honda Odyssey

  • Power-Folding Third Row Seating: If you need extra space for more luggage or larger items, the new Kia Carnival offers a power-folding third row for easy access to added cargo space. Unfortunately, a power-folding third row isn't on the equipment list of the new Honda Odyssey.
  • Standard Safety Features: Both the Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey have a robust suite of standard safety technologies, but the new Kia Carnival offers some that its Odyssey rival lacks as part of its standard equipment, including Safe Exit Assist and Rear Parking Sensors that're perfect for tight streetside parking jobs in the city.
  • Effortless Connectivity: While both the Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey offer standard support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Kia Carnival makes that connectivity wireless as part of its standard equipment package, freeing your car up from the clutter of excess charging cables in the cabin.
