The Carnival has the lowest starting price of the group and, along with the Hyundai Palisade and its sibling the Kia Telluride, offers the longest powertrain warranty at 10 years / 100,000 miles versus 5 years / 60,000 miles for the Sienna, Odyssey, and Pacifica. The Sienna is hybrid-only and offers all-wheel drive, the Odyssey is V6-only, and the Pacifica adds a plug-in hybrid. The Palisade and Telluride are three-row SUVs cross-shopped with the Carnival rather than true minivans. Open a head-to-head above for the full breakdown.
If you are staying in the Kia family, the choice is really minivan or SUV. The Carnival is the minivan, with sliding doors, the most interior and cargo space, easy third-row access, and a lower starting price. The Kia Telluride is the three-row SUV, with available all-wheel drive, up to 5,000 pounds of towing, and a taller, more rugged stance. Both seat up to eight and share Kia’s 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. See the full Carnival vs Telluride comparison.
The Carnival is offered as a gas V6 across the lineup, with the hybrid available on the mid and upper trims. All trims are front-wheel drive.
