2017 Kia Grand Carnival can carry more luggage bags when u travel. With the third row seats up, boot space is an enormous 960 litres, which can be expanded to 2,220 litres with the third row folded.

With all rear seats folded, the Kia Grand Carnival boasts up to 4,022 litres of space.

Unlike the flashy exterior, the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander cabin is designed with simplicity in mind. All major controls, buttons and levers are within easy reach thanks to the dashboard that is positioned high up. Build quality and refinement on the other hand, is among the best in class.

When not in use, the tonneau cover can be stored out of sight beneath an underfloor storage lid.

Kia recently dropped the short wheelbase version which was a good move. The bigger better Grand Carnival has more room inside and especially more boot space with the third row of seats in use.

Can't wait to see what Kia's design guru Peter Schreyer does with this one when he gets his hands on it? The K7 concept could point the way and looks in shape like a larger version of the Soul.
