2022 Kia Carnival vs. 2021 Toyota Sienna

The 2022 Kia Carnival was a new introduction this year and replaces the Kia Sedona. Kia positions the Carnival as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) vs a traditional minivan. The 2021 Toyota Sienna was also new this year. The primary difference is that the Toyota Sienna is only available as a hybrid vehicle. In fact, there are many differences between the Carnival and the Sienna.

The Kia Carnival offers more style, technology, and a better warranty at a lower price point. The Carnival makes an ideal family vehicle with more standard safety features. The Sienna is a hybrid and is available in AWD, but you will need to pay more to get comparable safety features which are options or available only in higher trim levels.
