If towing prowess tops your chart, nab the Chrysler, as it's rated to drag up to 3,600 pounds, 100 more than the Carnival, Odyssey or Sienna. If maximum fuel economy matters, get the Toyota. Naturally, the hybrid-only Sienna blows this Kia away like topsoil during the Dust Bowl with its across-the-board rating of up to 36 mpg (as does the pricier Pacifica plug-in hybrid, which returns 82 MPGe when running solely on electricity). Combined, it's rated at 22 mpg, identical to a front-wheel drive, non-plug-in Pacifica or the Honda Odyssey. The Kia stickers at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Craig Cole/Roadshowįuel economy is right in line with the Carnival's major competitors. The Carnival's cabin is roomy, well built and extremely comfortable. No matter where you're sitting, there's practically enough headroom in this vehicle for Shaquille O'Neal to bolt upright while wearing a top hat. As with the second row, passengers in steerage have access to a pair of USB ports. The Carnival's third-row seat is accommodating with plenty of space too, even for lanky adults. They also offer power controls as well as heating and ventilation for all-season comfort. Mirroring the Toyota Sienna, the range-topping SX Prestige model features twin VIP lounge seats, which slide, recline and have integrated ottomans for added luxury. Ensuring passengers have access to power, USB ports are integrated into the front seatbacks. For maximum cargo space, you've got to remove them and hope you don't pull a muscle in your back. The Slide-Flex second-row chairs are plenty comfortable and supportive, plus they easily move fore and aft by a significant amount, though they do not fold into the floor like Chrysler's ingenious Stow 'n Go system. Aside from capaciousness, comfort is another one of the Carnival's strong suits in this midrange EX model.
