New and Used Kia Carnival for Sale Philippines 2018
The Kia Carnival is built in South Korea and sold as the Sedona in other markets around the world. It was introduced in 1998, with the first generation lasting from that year to 2006. When the Carnival entered its third generation in 2014, it endured a major rework, offering a bevy of improvements such as a better build, updated powertrain, more creature comforts, and a highly flexible seating system that raises the Carnival’s level in the minivan category. Dare it be said, the Carnival now ranks alongside extremely popular Japanese vans in terms of refinement and functionality.
For 2016, Kia decided to exclude the Carnival from their vehicle lineup, thus you won’t find any 2016 Kia Carnival models available in the Philippines. There is, however, the more upscale Kia Grand Carnival 2016 to replace it, which costs almost twice the Carnival’s price. For the more budget-conscious, you can still find carryover 2015 Kia Carnival models sold at authorized Kia dealerships nationwide. You may also check the inventory of used cars for sale dealers if that’s what your budget allows.
