    Kia Carnival 2018

    Kia Carnival 2018

    FROM
    $19,910

    The 2018 Kia Carnival range of configurations is currently priced from $18,888.

    Our most recent review of the 2018 Kia Carnival resulted in a score of 8.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: The Carnival Platinum scores high marks across the board for its practicality, premium feel and driving characteristics. It's worthy of consideration not only against other with eight-seat vans, but seven-seat SUVs, too. Its large cabin provides ample flexibility for carrying passengers or loads, and it easily catered to our roadtrip needs.

    The Kia Carnival is also known as Kia Sedona in markets outside Australia.

    Kia Carnival 2018 FAQs

    Why is my oil light only coming on while idling?

    While not a common problem, this could be caused by a faulty oil pressure sensor. But it’s important to have this checked out by a mechanic because you could be dealing with an engine that really is suffering from low oil pressure. If the latter is the case, you risk doing permanent and catastrophic damage to the engine because the oil pressure is insufficient to fully protect the internal parts of the engine.

    The reason you’re seeing the light come on when the engine is idling (and presumably at operating temperature) is because this is when the engine’s oil pressure is at its lowest. When you rev the engine, the oil pump turns faster, creating more oil pressure. When the engine speed drops again, the pump slows, the oil pressure falls and the warning light switches on.

    By having the actual oil pressure checked at a workshop with an independent gauge (separate to the one in the car) you’ll know if the light is coming on because of a duff sensor or because the oil pressure really is too low.

    How does the LDV G10 compare to the Hyundai iMax and Kia Carnival?

    There are so few LDVs out there it’s hard to say how reliable they are, but we know the iMax and Carnival are good. I would go for the Carnival.
