2021 Kia Carnival S Diesel review

The entry-level Kia Carnival offers all of the refinement and practicality of higher grades without the price tag. It's not perfect, though.

Kia has massaged its flagship for 2021. With a revised look, punchy engine, and comfortable cabin, it's still an excellent highway cruiser.

Do you want a Kia Sorento for a little less money, and are you fine with front-wheel drive? There's a petrol V6 now available in showrooms that slashes the price by $3000.

Torquey all-paw drive, solid features and an appealing price make the Sport diesel the all-rounder pick of Kia’s freshly-updated Sorento crop.

Kia has updated its cheapest car, the Picanto, with wireless smartphone mirroring tech and a tough new look. It's still cheap, and it's still cheerful.

The new Kia Stonic fits between the Rio and Seltos in the company's expanding line-up, and has the Mazda CX-3 and Hyundai Venue/Kona in its crosshairs.

Is the price-savvy tier of Kia’s medium-sized family hauler still worth a long look nearing the twilight of its fourth generation?

The all-new Kia Carnival has big shoes to fill. We get behind the wheel of the all-new generation to see if it's a viable SUV alternative.

You may have forgotten but Kia also offers a four-cylinder Stinger in addition to that superb twin-turbo V6, even if most buyers opt for the latter.

Parking sensors are devices we use each and every day. But, how do parking sensors work? And which other systems are active each time you select reverse? We find out.

The Kia Sorento is a very good family SUV, with all the space, style, and technology you could ever need. And the Sport+ could be a smarter buy than the range topper.

The entry grade Kia Sorento diesel AWD variant lacks a few of the luxury features found higher up the range. But it offers a cushier ride, retains the practicality, and costs $50,000 drive-away. It's well worth a look.

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.

A $65,000 Kia? Scoff all you want, but the new Sorento GT-Line flagship represents a convincing move upmarket in many respects. It's not perfect, though.

The Kia Seltos comes to the market with a bit of disco flair. When you look past the flashy lights, you'll find there's plenty of substance as well.

Kia has thrown everything at its new Sorento. it's seriously impressive, save for one flaw at city speeds.
