    1. Ample head and legroom

    As we’ve briefly covered above, the Kia Grand Carnival can be had in either a seven-seater or an 11-seater layout.

    The former — with two second-row captain seats — obviously offers a generous amount of head, leg, and elbow room with only seven seats fitted inside the minivan’s cabin. Passengers will have more than enough space to stretch out their legs and arms to keep them comfortable on both short and long rides. The latter still offers decent space that passengers won’t feel cramped inside a fully occupied minivan.

    Kia even adjusted the dimensions of the 11-seater variant, making it 15mm taller than the seven-seater variant for added interior space.

    2. Comfortable seats

    And while we’re still on the topic of seats, it’s worth mentioning that the Kia Grand Carnival, especially the range-topping seven-seater variant, has comfortable seats. The seats have enough bolstering that you won’t easily notice minor bumps on the road.

    The seats on the seven-seater variant are finished in leather while the 11-seater variants have cloth seats that are still comfortable enough.

    3. Decent infotainment

    The EX variants of the Kia Grand Carnival are equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an AM/FM Radio, CD, MP3 with USB, and Aux-in ports. It also has Bluetooth Hands-free, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto functionalities.
