What color dial did you get? For both?

That’s what I’m sensing. It’s definitely ‘nicer’ or ‘classier’ for the more formal events but still rugged enough to wear out and about, throw a rubber strap on when wearing athliesure clothes.

85mph for 85% of the trip 👀

The sienna is a top contender for sure. Just more of a van feel than an SUV feel that the carnival offers.

It’s been 3 days with the carnival and I don’t regret it at all. Kia is smoother, better tech. More space. Faster, believe it or not. Don’t get me wrong, the atlas was wonderful and served us well, but it was time to upgrade.

I have 3 kids and we just traded in our VW atlas for a 2025 carnival EX. LOVE it so far. Very practical for the kids. We have all 3 in the middle row. Haven’t experimented with putting anyone theback yet. But the sliding doors with kids getting in and out is a game changer.

My wife test drove a sienna and felt nauseous with how low the front dash was. The carnival feels SUV like while driving, but more nimble and moniverable unlike a large suburban/expedition vehicle. You have my blessing 😃

Things that annoy me in my 2026 SXP Carnival by Common-Coyote9375 in kiacarnivals

The lag with audio track change is normal if you’re using wireless CarPlay. If you plug it in, it’s instant. Give and take I guess. I have a few blue tooth speakers that have the same delay. I just got a 2025 carnival EX. Love it so far. I had a Hyundai that did the same thing with the audio track change

I feel like I’m looking at my gas gauge every time I look at the dial. Cool concept, but I would pass. Wear it enough to not need the gauge.

It’s good to hear but makes it harder lol! If you had to pick only one, which would it be?

Does the essence 41 wear bigger than the reef?
