KIA Carnival
Everyone loves a Carnival. As Australias best-loved people mover since 1999, Carnival has long been famous for style, comfort, an affordable price tag and a range of extras designed for maximum pleasure. Carnival has been redesigned and re-engineered for the 21st century while still retaining the qualities that made it the crowd favourite. The Carnival has sharp, European lines for an air of sophistication, all within a compact and manoeuvrable package. Its new, luxurious and roomy interior offers seating for eight when you need to move a crowd. The versatile 2+3+3 formation with removable 2nd row and long-slide/removable 3rd row rear seats means you can easily choose how much luggage space you really need. Take Carnival for a spin and you'll quickly find this latest evolution of Kias top-selling people mover is no ordinary performer. If youre looking for an affordable package with the space to move up to eight people if the need arises, then Carnival clearly has the right mix of ingredients to make your driving experience a genuine pleasure!
As well as comfort and style, Carnival is built to perform, with a hearty new 2.7-litre, V6 engine delivering 136kW at 6000 rpm and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. For a stable and comfortable ride, Carnival is equipped with McPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, gas shock absorbers and stabiliser bars. The Carnival also offers ABS brakes, EBD and brake assist as standard. A whisper-quiet engine with more power and increased torque soothes the senses, with plenty of power for every occasion and lighter weight and lower friction all helping to manage fuel economy.
Carnival is a car for any occasion. Take it on holiday or take it to work, to the supermarket, to the beach, or ferry the kids around and you'll find out what we mean. Like your favourite armchair, you'll be able to stretch out and relax in style. Power steering makes piloting Carnival a breeze. Ample interior space for up to eight people plus roof rails and optional roof bars provide that all-important carrying capacity. There are dual sliding rear doors with electric windows and an expandable storage system at the rear. Third row passengers will appreciate electrically adjustable fold-out side windows when they choose to bring the outside atmosphere inside. Tri-zone air-conditioning with individual outlets for each row of seats ensures everyone can sit back in comfort. Carnival's practical layout means there is always plenty of room to move and grow.
Carnival is a statement in versatility. Whatever the combination you require, Carnival can deliver. If you're carrying passengers, there is adjustable seating to create extra leg room. There are tray tables with cupholders on the back of the front seats. A further six cupholders are conveniently located throughout the cabin. A fold-up table between the driver and front passenger can be folded away to enable walk-through access to the 2nd row. Both the 2nd and 3rd rows seat three passengers and each row can be simply folded and/or removed if additional space is needed. Wide, side-sliding doors allow easy access to the 2nd and 3rd row from both sides. Tri-zone air-conditioning with individual outlets for each row of seats ensures everyone can sit back in comfort. The light and airy cabin of the Carnival offers generous headroom and the extra space needed in a true people mover.
Complementing the plush, well-appointed interior of Carnival, with its luxury trim and seat fabrics, are a range of extras designed to provide what we all look for - a leisurely driving experience. On the road, surround yourself with the sound of a six-speaker CD player and AM/FM radio with power antenna. Power steering, an adjustable steering column, power front windows and central locking are provided, along with a host of handy extras such as an under-seat storage bin, cup holders, a CD compartment and a remote fuel release. Theres even two places for your sunglasses. On a long trip, or even just around town, it's little things like this that can make all the difference.
The stylish exterior has the same attention to detail as the interior, spoke-like full wheel covers, body coloured door handles, body coloured bumpers, body mouldings and door mirrors all finished superbly. Luxury such as this usually comes at a price. But with Carnival it is a price everyone can afford. Carnival makes no compromises when it comes to safety. From top to bottom, side to side, it is packed with safety features, including an energy-absorbing steering column, dual airbags, lapsash seatbelts on all window seats, child-proof safety locks, high visibility, heated defrost power mirrors, variable intermittent front wipers, rear wiper and washer and demister. Carnivals stylish exterior conceals a powerful unibody framework plus a reinforced sub-frame for added strength. And for even more passenger protection, there are strong steel beams in each door plus ladder-like steel floor reinforcements. Kia tops it off with side-protection moulding to guard against car-park bumps and a high mounted rear brake light for extra road awareness.
