Kia Grand Carnival 2 / Sedona (VQ) Minivan (2006-2014)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Kia Grand Carnival 2 / Sedona (chassis code VQ) is a full-size minivan in production from 2006 to 2014. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.2 to 3.8 liters.
Compared to the smaller Kia Carens, the Grand Carnival / Sedona is notably more spacious. The SWB Kia Carnival sits in between the two.
Even though the vehicle is rather uninspiring in styling, it has a good level of power output and boasts a rather advanced (for a minivan) suspension setup.
Utility-minded owners will love the high 4007L (142cu-ft) of cargo space.
