Kia Carnival 2019

FROM
$21,230

The 2019 Kia Carnival range of configurations is currently priced from $19,990.

Our most recent review of the 2019 Kia Carnival resulted in a score of 8.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: The Kia Carnival SLi Diesel delivers comfortable and relaxed family transport, handling the rigors of the Cleary family’s Griswold holiday tribute without raising a single bead of perspiration. It’s hugely practical, well equipped, surprisingly economical and backed by a market-leading warranty package.

Kia Carnival 2019 Interior

The Kia Carnival has one of the most thoughtful interior designs you will ever come across. Not just the fact it has up to eight seats and a huge boot, the Carnival has really stepped up its game in terms of dashboard design, trim quality and leather finishing. The two-tone finish on high-grade late models (see in the images) is a particular highlight.

Kia Carnival 2019 FAQs

High oil usage in a 2019 Kia Carnival

Some oil consumption is normal for engines, and modern engines seem to use a little more than some older designs. That's because modern engines are designed with low-friction piston rings which are great for fuel economy but can lead to slightly higher oil consumption. However, 700ml per 1000km does seem high for what is not an especially high-performance engine, and one that has not travelled very far in the scheme of things.

It wouldn't be the first time a dealer (of any brand) has tried to fob off a customer concern with such a response, so I reckon you're on the right track by contacting Kia Australia's customer service division. I'd also follow up with a phone call as well as an email, but experience suggests Kia is one company that takes customer satisfaction seriously.

Your car is still covered by the factory seven-year warranty, so provided it's been serviced correctly, if there is a fault, it should be covered. Further investigation is warranted, including a compression and leak-down test to show if there's any deterioration in the performance of the engine's piston rings. Your local state motoring club is a good source for these tests, particularly as manufacturers tend to take the clubs and their mechanical inspections seriously.
