We Say Goodbye to our Long Term 2022 Kia Carnival After 28,000-Miles

Time to bid a sad goodbye to our 2022 Kia Carnival MPV. After spending 1-year in our long-term fleet, MotorWeek’s favorite suitcase on wheels delivered 28,812 stress free, reliable, and very comfortable miles, averaging a fine 23.2 miles-per-gallon.

Saying goodbye to this Carnival is kind of like moving out of the old family home. Of course, we’ll look back fondly on all the memories we had in it, but there are also tangible things that we’ll miss as well. Like the comfortable highway ride, the ample and easily accessible cargo area and, of course, who could possibly forget the cozy VIP lounge seats.

Literally the only issue we had with this minivan-ish rig was the stitching of the leather-wrapped steering wheel working its way loose. And now that the Carnival is leaving, some of our long-distance driving adventures may unravel as well.
