- [Narrator] The 2022 Toyota Sienna
versus the 2022 Kia Carnival.
Let's learn a bit more about these vans.
Sienna is the first hybrid van
to offer available all-wheel drive.
Sienna's standard hybrid powertrain
has an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined rating
on front-wheel-drive grades, as well as instant torque
and smooth acceleration.
Sienna is loaded with highly practical conveniences
including a standard Blind Spot Monitor
with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, 60/40 One-Motion-Stow
Split and Stow 3rd Row seats,
and seven USB ports spread throughout the cabin.
Sienna's sixth-grade lineup is entirely hybrid,
and now includes the new Woodland Edition,
which includes higher ground clearance,
a roof rack, tow hitch,
and standard Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive.
That said, the entire Sienna lineup can also
be equipped with available All-Wheel-Drive.
Formerly known as Sedona,
Carnival is available in five grades.
Carnival is offered only with front-wheel drive
and a V6 engine with no hybrid
or all-wheel drive option.
Sienna's fresh design features,
alloy wheels as largest 20 inches.
Plus the available hands-free power liftgate
and power sliding side doors can be opened or closed
with a quick kicking motion.
Carnival's new design displays, a more SUV-like appearance.
It also offers a hands free power liftgate,
but only starting from the EX grade.
Also wheel sizes top out at 19 inches for the higher grades.
Inside Sienna, select grades come standard
with heated second-row,
super long slide captains chairs with ottomans.
And there are plenty of other game
changing conveniences available,
including four- zone automatic climate control,
a digital rear view mirror
and a 10-inch color Head-Up Display.
Plus, an available 1500 watt inverter comes standard
on Woodwind Edition, making it easy to operate
a small appliance or power tool.
Carnival's second-row seats also have flexible seating
configurations available, including raised footrests.
That said there's no four-zone automatic climate control
but there is a three-zone option on the SX Prestige grade.
Carnival doesn't have a digital rearview mirror
or Head-Up Display either,
but it does offer a camera feature
on the touchscreen to keep an eye on second
and third-row passengers as well as a two-way Intercom
between the front, second, or third rows.
Sienna's Audio Multimedia system includes standard
compatibility for Apple CarPlay,
which connects drivers to Apple Music, Maps, Messages,
and other favorite apps from your iPhone.
In addition, Android auto compatibility makes it easy to
stay connected to Android devices,
while Amazon Alexa connectivity
keeps Amazon's voice service just a question away.
Plus there's a standard three-month SiriusXM Platinum plan
trial subscription that includes over 165 channels
available in cabin and even more on the SXM mobile app,
making it easier than ever to enjoy
not just ad-free music,
but also sports, comedy, and more.
In addition, it can be equipped
with an available 12 speaker JBL Premium Audio system.
Sienna also comes with trial subscriptions
to Toyota's line of Connected Services
including a Wi-Fi Connect hotspot for up to five devices.
Carnival's base LX grade comes standard
with an eight inch touchscreen
with available dual 12.3 inch screens on higher grades.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard
and a SiriusXM trial subscription is available
as is a Wi-Fi hotspot.
However, there's no support whatsoever for Amazon Alexa.
Audio systems range from the six-speaker system on the LX
to a 12 speaker Bose system
in the top-of-the-line, SX Prestige.
It should go without saying
that safety is important for Sienna, and this is more
than evident in standard features
like Toyota Safety Senses 2.0,
a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
and 10 airbags.
On the other hand, Kia's Drive Wise safety suite is standard
on all Carnival grades.
Rear cross-traffic collision avoidance
is standard throughout the line
as is Blind Spot Detection,
but features like bicyclist detection
are only available on higher grades.
Finally, Carnival offers fewer
standard airbags as Sienna, at eight.
Thanks to its standard hybrid powertrain
Sienna has an incredible EPA-estimated
36 miles per gallon combined rating,
while also producing 245 net horsepower.
It's also the only hybrid van
with available all-wheel drive capability.
Carnival's 3.5 liter V6 delivers 290 horsepower
and 262 pound feet of torque,
but its EPA estimate suffers
from the lack of hybrid technology.
Getting a rating of only 22 mpg combined.
Also, unlike Sienna, Carnival is available
as front-wheel drive only with no all-wheel-drive
option to provide added traction.
Sienna's drivers and passengers can
rest a little easier knowing
it's been recognized as an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus.
Kelley Blue Book has also given the Sienna
its "Best Buy" award.
Sienna comes standard with ToyotaCare
which provides two years or 25,000 miles.
Whichever comes first,
of scheduled maintenance,
as well as two years
and unlimited-mileage 24-hour roadside assistance.
Additionally, the hybrid battery has a 10-year
or 150,000-mile,
whichever comes first, warranty,
which makes Sienna a serious option for long-term ownership.
The 2022 carnival is an IIHS Top Safety Pick
and comes with an impressive five-year
60,000-mile limited basic warranty.
And 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
There's also a five-year 60,000 mile
roadside assistance plan that works
hand in hand with Kia Connect.
That said, Carnival doesn't offer any maintenance coverage
that's similar to ToyotaCare.
With Toyota's commitment
to quality, durability and reliability,
It's clear why Sienna is such a smart choice in its segment.
