Aukang 6th Gear April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 Kia released the new Sedona, a 7 seater MPV at the recent New York car show. Only meant for US. Wonder if a similar right hand drive model will make it to our shores given Kia doesn't have any MPVs in its current line up here. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolpica 4th Gear April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 (edited) Rented the Kia Carnival (sold as Grand Carnival in OZ)while holidaying in OZ. Very spacious ride which seats 8. Very stable at highway speed with good sound insulation. The 2.7 V6 engine is responsive, making lane changing on highway a breeze.The boot is able to accomodate 4 luggages with seats all up. However it is a very thristy ride. Hopefully KIA has improved on the FC on new Kia Carnival. Edited April 26, 2014 by Coolpica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aukang 6th Gear April 28, 2014 Author Share April 28, 2014 So if COE comes down to 50k, maybe will make sense for c & c to bring in? My current ride is 8+ years, starting to look for a replacement. This Kis mpv is quite nice looking, Ody is nice but too ex. Hoping not to settle for mid size mpv.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Kis mpv is quite nice looking, Ody is nice but too ex. Hoping not to settle for mid size mpv.. yes, if Kia Sedona/Carnival is available here, I suspect the price will be pretty reasonable. Looking at current small Kia models, this mpv will come with some nice specs/gadget, value for money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantinique Clutched December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 Heard from the KIA SE that they are not bringing in the Sedona/Carnival, but interested buyer can indent from them and choose the specs. Had called KIA to check on this. They will not bring this in as the 2015 carnival isn't a European spec model. Nor will they take order for this. Wonder where did you hear this...
