2022 Kia Carnival Vs 2022 Honda Odyssey

Boldly innovative and undeniably versatile, the all-new 2022 Carnival Minivan is built for your bring-it-on life. With best-in-class power and cargo space, a suite of driver assist technologies, practical family-focused innovations, and SUV-inspired design, it’s a radical departure from the usual.

Lets dive-in and see how it compares to its rival, the Honda Odyssey.

Styling:

The 2022 Carnival offers a more updated platform with a sleeker, more cohesive, and more future-proof design.


Performance and driving experience,

While both the Kia Carnival and The Honda Odyssey offer roughly the same mileage at 22 mpg, the Honda Odyssey offer a slightly lower driver position and slightly better visibility.

On the other hand, The Kia Carnival offers more quality of life improvements like an optional 360-surround view camera and blind spot monitors. Neither of which can be offered with the Honda Odyessy.

Kia’s driver assist suite also includes active lane control.

Comfort and functionality:

Both cars offer removable second-row seats while Kia’s available airline-style lounge seats are a long-distance treat for adults and are not offered on the Odyessy.

Moreover, on the highest trim of both vehicles, the supple leather on the Carnival wins the luxury battle by a landslide.

To conclude, while both vehicles are capable, the Kia Carnival is a step up in comfort and features.
