Review: Kia Carnival LX SWB

The American mini-van done Korean-style, and done pretty well.

Spacious? Di ba SWB version yung test car? I thought I'd only be hearing that term "spacious" to the LWB version.

I've seen a couch pic on the old that TG exactly like that... don't worry it was Mike Black. LOL.

The LWD version differs in size by having more trunk space AFAIK. Otherwise the passenger space dimensions would more or less be the same. CMIIW

Damnit, forgot to put that in. If I remember correctly, it was between 5-7 km/l in the city. About par with the Fortuner and Everest, which is understandable, considering the size of the engine.

Yup. Seat space is great even on the SWB, but honestly, the lack of cargo room is a minus if you're looking at using this as a school bus.

no niky, it was something like 9.4 km/l mixed city and highway (with greater skew towards highway).

I estimate city mileage of 7.0 to 7.5 km/l city and 10.0 to 10.5 km/l highway.

Yeah... after I posted my comment, I realized that I DID write the economy in the article. Yup. 7 city, nearly exactly 10 (9.8) on the highway on my test. Marvin's test yielded better results (10.5) on the highway, but he's a much nicer driver than me... hehehe...
