It’s a brand-new model, and it really stands out on the road. The front is sleek, while the back has more of a boxy shape. I actually really like this look—and it turns out that boxy rear is super practical too.

There are three different versions to choose from, with the top model offering either six or seven seats.

You can also pick between two engines: a 2.5L turbo petrol or a 1.6L turbo petrol hybrid. Personally, I’d go for the hybrid—it’s a great mix of power for family road trips, while still being fuel-efficient for everyday mum life.

Inside, the Santa Fe feels really spacious and comfy. The front seats are lovely, but it’s the back that really shines for mums. The rear doors open nice and wide, making it much easier to get a baby seat in and out—or gently place a sleeping bub without too much hassle (a big win!).

It also comes with ISOFIX and top tether points for both the second and third row seats. So, you’ve got that extra peace of mind when it comes to safety.

Like most SUVs this size, the third row is better suited for occasional use rather than everyday seating, especially for older kids or adults.

We will chat more about the Sant Fe next week.

First up is the space inside. Theres room for eight people if needed. On top of that there is still plenty of room for luggage. That’s something many SUVs don’t have.

Also keeping the driver and front passenger comfortable are electric adjusted seats with heating and on some model’s – ventilation.

There are five isofix and top tether points for baby seats. And with the middle row of seats able to slide you can adjust how much room you need. The seating is practical and flexible.

Little comfort features like air vents for all the seats, cup holders and storage everywhere, are appreciated.

There’s space for everything – pram, nappy bag, groceries – plus plenty of room for more kids down the line.

I’ve said it before, but what really seals it for me? The sliding doors. Whether it’s getting a capsule in or helping kids climb into the back seats without hitting the car next to you – it’s honestly a lifesaver.

The Kia Carnival makes it all so easy.

If you’re starting or growing your family, the Carnival just gets it. It’s the mum car I keep coming back to. The Kia Carnival is Mum life Upgraded.
