People Mover

The people mover is the traditional vehicle for carrying more passengers than you can in the hatchback, sedan or wagon. People movers typically have seven or eight seats across three rows, the rearmost of which usually offers more room than an equivalent SUV. Most new people movers use a regular passenger car chassis, meaning they're more comfortable and enjoyable to drive than earlier models, which were based on commercial vans.

Kia Carnival 2024 review
7.5/10
This is actually the Carnival that Kia always wanted.See, the last Carnival, the one this replaces, was Covid compromised, missing out on key technologies, as well as skipping an in-depth ride and handling localisation program, due to part supply issues and a freeze on international travel.This one, though, addresses all of that, which is why you get a new cabin experience, new tech, and a complete overhaul of the steering and handling.[read-more-default-title]Kia ramps up electric car and hybrid plans, aims for 15 models on sale including EV2, EV3, EV4 and EV5 within three years and 1.6 million sales globally in 2030Kia's Prado-punishing 4WD shapes up: Ladder-frame, V6-powered SUV based on Tasman ute looks ready for LandCruiser rumble in new rendersFrom $20k budget hatchbacks to a $100k premium electric SUV in just a handful of years - How Kia transformed its image and became a pain for brands like Mazda, Toyota, Mitsubishi and even HyundaiIt is, however, significantly more expensive, right across the range.So, is the Carnival still worth it?

Lexus LM500h Ultra Luxury 2024 review: snapshot
7.9/10
The Lexus LM is a rival for premium people movers like the Mercedes-Benz EQV, and there’s a good chance many owners will be driven around in this vehicle rather than getting behind the wheel themselves. Although if they do, they’ll be rewarded with a plush, cosseting drive experience.Sitting above the LM350h is the flagship LM500h which is about $220,000. Rather than being a seven-seater like its sibling, the 500h is strictly a four-seater.Behind the front compartment are two big captain’s chairs that recline flat if required. [read-more-default-title]Lexus LM 2024 reviewLexus LM350h Sports Luxury 2024 review: snapshotStandard gear includes a digital rearview mirror, and a 14.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head up display, seven USB ports, a smartphone charger and a rear 14.0-inch multimedia display.The 500h adds niceties like a separation partition with elevating and dimmable glass, that doubles as a 48.0-inch widescreen display to watch films and TV, or take conference calls with. The 500h combines a 2.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a hybrid setup, making for power and torque of 202kW and 460Nm respectively. It has all-wheel drive and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.The extensive safety suite includes intersection assist, and a pre-collision system with vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist and daytime motorcyclist detection, and a lot more.

7.9/10
The Lexus LM is a people mover designed with high-end buyers in mind. A lot of people will be driven around in this vehicle rather than getting behind the wheel.There are LM two model grades available, and the range opens with the LM350h from a tick over $160,000. That’s for the front-wheel drive version, while the all-wheel drive is $5000 dearer.The three-row, seven-seat 350h has two captains chairs in the second row and three in the third row. [read-more-default-title]Lexus LM 2024 reviewLexus LM500h Ultra Luxury 2024 review: snapshotThe luxury vibe of the LM is most evident in that second row, with the captain’s chairs offering six-way power adjustability, heading and ventilation, an ottoman, a pull-out table, a massage function, hands-free controller and more.Tech wise there is a digital rearview mirror, and a 14.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head up display, seven USB ports, a smartphone charger and a rear 14.0-inch multimedia display.The LM350h comes with a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a parallel hybrid system, offering up a total system output of 140kW and 239Nm. It is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).The extensive safety suite includes intersection assist, and a pre-collision system with vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist and daytime motorcyclist detection, and a lot more.
