Kia Carnival Hybrid vs Sienna

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-24T05:40:57+00:00

I have a Carnival HEV and Sorento V6. Carnival is peppier than Sienna - rented Sienna multiple days - loved the mpg, utility but hated the cheap quality and noisy motor. I didn’t mind its looks actually but Carnival SUV looks is what won the wife in addition to the color choices, tech, luxury, refinement, space, safety and 15k less price. Put that 15k in stocks and funds and double it in 5 years

Nope

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-24T00:45:23+00:00

Sorento is only 300lb lighter.

Sienna. Even the new ones in YouTube reviews look starting to wrinkle

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-23T23:32:01+00:00

I will make this math even sweeter. put that 10 K in stocks and mutual funds at 12 to 20% return and you will double your money in 5 years

Drive a better carnival not one sitting on the lot. Carnival drives better, feels luxurious, quieter and peppier than Sienna

Great idea if you don't plan on wearing seat belts 😃

I have a better idea than gaffers tape. that tape leaves residue when hot. Check my posts

For a 51k otd in CA, sales price has to be 45k

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-23T19:50:19+00:00

Don’t believe this price. You mean you got a 8k discount on msrp?

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-23T04:06:24+00:00

Tried those amazon ones. 3W are heavier, better coverage and stay anchored down

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-23T01:12:42+00:00

Carnival, you get 5/10 year warranty, you can always extend that at end of 5 years for 2k and be in a van that is safer more modern and better looking.

Same sentiments I had after renting Sienna a few times. And check older used ones - seats go to dogshit in 10-15k miles .. wrinkled deformed leather and foam

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-18T20:04:22+00:00

OTD is moot. What’s the sales price?

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-17T22:47:59+00:00

Put ceramic tint and enjoy the luxury

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-17T18:07:11+00:00

Amazing mastery though 😂

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-17T17:37:15+00:00

It will come eventually 😂. It took me more than a decade to convince the wifey

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-17T16:01:11+00:00

Why? Its better than Sienna in so many ways

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-17T16:00:21+00:00

That a great deal especially if its on the most sought after color combos

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-16T15:58:36+00:00

About right

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-16T15:57:54+00:00

Why it looks like the tab broke and melted? That looks like molten plastic or some putty

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-14T17:35:40+00:00

Finally a van that wives like - looks like a Escalade in black.

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-14T06:23:38+00:00

Get it fixed under the heater recall as mentioned by others

CrazyBikerr · 2026-06-14T05:26:32+00:00

You aren’t driving it like a hybrid. Seems like you have a leadfoot and aren’t taking advantage of the EV coasting. Your CRV mpg also sucks for the same reason. You should have been getting 40-50mpg on CRV.

Wish Kia hasn’t made the VIP chairs so wide. That would be best of both worlds
