Kia dealers offer two options for carrying eight passengers and their luggage: the Carnival minivan and the Telluride SUV. Which is better?
Both vehicles are powered by the Hyundai Motor Group's Lambda V-6 engine, which produces 290/291 hp and 262 lb-ft. The SUVs use a second-gen variant that displaces 3.8 liters, while the van gets a third-gen, smaller-bore 3.5-liter version. Essentially the same transmission and gearing is used for both . Not surprisingly, the van—carrying about 10 percent more pounds per horsepower—is about 12 percent slower to 60 mph. Nobody will care, as the Carnival's 7.
Stepping down to the Telluride S drops the price to $39,155 , but your sound system will be downgraded from eight speakers to six, and you'll do without a power liftgate , front and rear park-distance warning, side-window sunshades, and other niceties.As much as Kia has strived to make the Carnival look more SUVish than other vans, you won't mistake it for the Telluride from behind the wheel, where the SUV sits slightly higher and rides slightly harsher .
