Between the meteoric rise of SUVs and the decline of MPVs – also known as people movers or minivans – practicality was sacrificed for fashion… but Kia didn’t get the memo.

The Carnival, an eight-seater powerhouse, continues to dominate Australian roads, with sales figures that could throw a party of their own. Kia even rebranded it as a "GUV" (Grand Utility Vehicle), distancing it from its minivan roots while staying true to its family-first ethos.

Priced from just over $50,000 for the entry-level V6 petrol-powered Carnival S and topping out at $76,210 for this range-topping GT-Line (before on-road costs), the Carnival isn’t cheap, especially after recent price hikes.

Yet its combination of space, comfort and ease of use keeps it a leader in the segment. With this hybrid powertrain option offering good fuel economy, it’s also a smarter choice for urban families looking to save at the pump.

While SUVs might be the trend, the Carnival proves there’s still room for a practical, stylish people mover in the market. For families needing space, versatility, and a dash of flair, it’s arguably the best option right now, and the sales numbers prove that buyers are wearing their MPV pride proudly.
