The All-New Kia Carnival

By

Kia’s minivan has experienced a number of dramatic changes. At first glance, one might not even recognize it after a facelift and name change. Kia’s Sedona has been completely transformed into what is no longer a minivan but a multi-purpose vehicle. The overall redesign will hint that more than just a few changes have arrived. The new aura projects familiar SUV vibes. Kia designers have done well with masking the classic minivan-appearance by creating smooth lines and a bold SUV-like front end.

Room for the Whole Family

Moving to the interior of the all-new Carnival it retains most of the commonly known minivan features which is the main reason why we love them so much because of their usability. There is seating available for 7 or 8 depending on your desired configuration. Either configuration is customizable to get the most out of your ride. Your mind will be at ease headed down the road knowing that intelligent airbags are there for you, child safety was a key factor during development, and a newly introduced durable, stable frame will provide a safe and smooth ride.  

Impressive Interior Tech

The upgraded interior technology is really where the Carnival shines the brightest. Enjoy connectivity with your favorite smart devices via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Keep them charged and your passengers happy with 9 USB chargers in addition to two 100-volt power outlets. The driver and front passenger will have access to a wireless charger upfront for convenience. Passengers will experience royal treatment with features like best-in-class passenger space with three available seating arrangements, 2 rows of heated/ventilated seats, 12.3-inch front screens with navigation, a dual rear 12-inch LCD entertainment system with screen mirroring, a newly introduced two-way intercom system to facilitate ease of communication, and tied together with an impressive 11-speaker Premium Bose sound system.

Exceptional Value

The Kia Carnival has been finely tuned to cater to the needs of families who make it their vehicle of choice. It has been tested in some of the harshest conditions and temperatures Mother Nature has to throw at it. The 290 best-in-class horsepower provides an impressive 3,500 lbs of towing capacity to bring your favorites toys with you on those weekend getaways. As if the Carnival couldn’t get any more enticing it comes with the industry’s best warranty providing powertrain protection for 10 years/100,000 miles.

THE FULL PACKAGE

Ford has added a new trim level to its mid-size pickup for all off-road lovers. The Ford Ranger Tremor will boast a number of goodies that will enhance its trail-riding capabilities. The Tremor package will fall below the Raptor combining the best of all applications yet maintaining daily drivability for the average commuter. Although the first time you will find the Ranger with such goodies it is available on Super Duty models as well as the best-selling truck in America, the F-150.

WHAT’S NEW?

Offered in the crew cab configuration, the Tremor package is upgraded with all-terrain tires, great for tackling any road conditions, skid plates to protect the undercarriage for peace of mind, an upgraded suspension for additional clearance and comfort, and a locking rear differential controlled electronically from the cockpit. The package will also include metal side steps for ease of entry and exit into the cabin, an auxiliary switch panel with six switches, and Tremor graphics to tie it all together.

PERFORMANCE NUMBERS

Ford Ranger EcoBoost

When popping the hood, you will see it retains the same engine as other trim levels, sporting a 2.3L four-cylinder engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The 0-60 mph time is unexpectedly healthy with a time of 6.5 seconds. The Tremor’s 7,500-pound towing capacity will remain the same, but the payload is affected by just 130 pounds down to 1,430. Combined mpg will fall in at an estimated 19 mpg which is quite acceptable with larger, upgraded tires.
