Kia Carnival (2023)

Kia Carnival is not only practical, comfortable, and value-packed, but it also wears a handsome, SUV-inspired look that helps van-averse drivers avoid the cringe. Its blocky, upright design does its best impression of Kia's über-desirable Telluride SUV, but take a look inside and you'll find more to like in the Carnival. Minivan rivals such as the Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey are slightly roomier, but the Carnival's low-load floor and tall roof provide plenty of space for the average family's needs. Opt for the second-row VIP seats and the Carnival is transformed into luxury transit with reclining buckets intended to make road trips with ornery kids a breeze.
