Have a look around our long-term 2022 Kia Carnival

Kia built one very premium minivan.

Sean Szymkowski
It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.

We used our long-term 2022 Kia Carnival to assist with a staff relocation from Detroit to Los Angeles. We encountered everything from rain to sleet and even snow and unrelenting sun.

With three senior rescue animals in tow and a boatload of stuff to transport, we couldn't help but add a Yakima Roof Box.

Road grime is a fact of life on trips like this.

Yep, we packed it to the headliner. Here's a cold and ugly photo of a test fitting before we departed wintry Michigan.

Fuel economy could've been better, but the drag-adding roof box and our editor's heavy right foot didn't help matters.

Over 6 days, 10 states and 2,300+ miles, the Kia performed flawlessly.

We have this long-term minivan for a year of testing.

Kia doesn't actually call the Carnival a minivan, however. Apparently that's uncool.

But what could be uncool about this? It looks awesome.

Our Carnival is the fully loaded SX Prestige model.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated V6 engine.

We'll be road tripping with this one all the time.

Inside, the Carnival's cabin is luxurious and full of tech.
