Kia Carnival GT Line driven to the Gold Coast

Kia Carnival GT Line – What car do you take when you are driving from Sydney to the Gold Coast for a family holiday, two adults with three boys.

Well for one of our contributors, Anthony Hood, it was a Kia Carnival.

He took the Carnival GT Line with the 2.2L diesel engine and 8 speed automatic transmission.

I asked him what he thought, and his response was simple – I loved it he said.

He specifically mentioned little things like the fact that it didn’t really matter how much luggage the five of them took the Carnival swallowed it with ease.

The seating plan also allowed the boys to be separated so they wouldn’t fight during the trip.

There are USB ports everywhere so each boy could have their own iPad plugged in. Cup holders everywhere as well. Large windows allowed great visibility for the passengers of the endless motorway.

The rear electric sliding doors are so practical in crowded Gold Coast car parks.

Other factors he mentioned are that even though its relatively big it doesn’t feel big driving it. It drove like a big SUV, smooth, powerful and economical. And he appreciated the safety features on the long drive.

The huge digital driver instrument panel and central screen showcased a myriad of information. Its also not that expensive for what you get at around $72,900 plus the usual costs.

There is a reason why the Kia Carnival has over 80% market share in the people mover segment. Its that good.
