    The positively non-van-like Kia Carnival accounts for more than half of all the people-movers sold in Australia. There is a new one around the corner, but the outgoing model remains our MPV of choice. And don't forget - runout deals are imminent.

    Kia dominates the people mover segment in Australia with its Carnival, the only car of its kind with a V6 engine. The Carnival is even a little – gasp! – stylish.

    T S purchased this Kia Carnival new with additional options for $50,000 (including all on-road costs). T S would buy this car again because: "Note this is approximately what the business paid as a leaseback vehicle and we intend to buy it at the end of the lease. The business had an easy, fast and great service from the Kia dealer and continue to use Kia Carnivals within the fleet."
