The second generation of the Kia Carnival is actually a rebadged Hyundai Entourage, also featuring Hyunday’s Lambda engine.
This second generation offered a series of upgrades from the previous models, such as folding back seats, power sliding doors and liftgate and navigation systems. The engine was upgraded to a 3.8 V6 with 244 hp. There was also an option for a long wheelbase chassis or a short wheelbase. This particular model is the long version which added 4 extra seats to the original 7 of the first car, making it possible to fit 11 people in it. The American version received very good reviews for safety features.
