Before everyone gets upset in the comments, we understand that these two specific vehicles we have in front of us aren't as apples-to-apples as possible, but that's not how press car fleets work, nor is it how booking vehicles with those fleets always works out. That being said the 2024 Kia Carnival SX (SX Prestige in the USA) comes fully loaded for the Canadian market. It's powered by a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, has an 8 speed automatic transmission, and is FWD only.
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Road Tripper we have is not fully loaded, and comes with a couple packages that give this vehicle a unique look. It's powered by a 3.6L Pentastar V6 running in Atkinson Cycle with two electric motors providing a total system power of 260 horsepower. Chrysler does not publish torque numbers for this vehicle. It's a PHEV with a 16 kWh Li-ion battery good for around 53 kms or 33 miles. The Chrysler Pacifica as a PHEV comes FWD only, but the gas-only Pacifica has the option to be equipped with AWD on most trims.
We go over the technical info and pricing for these two minivans along with what we think their exteriors have to offer in terms of design and features. We then hit the road Minivan style, with Victor acting as chauffeur and Nile riding in the second rows of both vehicles. We start off with the Chrysler Pacifica, talking about the interior design and features, what tech you get at this price point, and what things are lacking. We discuss the overall drive, ride, and handling, along with some of the features that help make this vehicle stand out.
We jump over to the Kia Carnival and do the same, discuss the interior space starting with the second row VIP seating which is a unique feature of the Kia. It allows you to move the two captains chairs forward and back, in and out, up and down, and recline into a lounge mode with leg rests. We talk about the features found on the Carnival and what it has over the Pacifica, along with how this vehicle drives, rides, handles, and performs.
We then talk about the other minivan options on the market today in Canada as alternatives, along with what they offer consumers by comparison.
