The 3rd row seats can be folded into the trunk in both vehicles and both cars have the same mechanism for stowing the seats away.
Legroom is dependent on who sits in the 2nd row but with the 2nd row seats in their most forward position, the Sienna has more legroom. Headroom for an adult like myself at 6’4” is more than that in the Kia Carnival. The bench seats on lower trim levels of the Kia Carnival have more traditional seats with easier access to the 3rd row. The Carnival’s VIP seats can’t spring forward and you have to go in between them to access the 3rd row. They can also spring forward to allow very easy access to the 3rd row. The 2nd row seats can quickly move forward & backwards and can provide a huge amount of legroom in their most rearward position. For a family with kids, the Sienna’s implementation is better. The Sienna’s captain’s chairs are not powered but they are heated. These seats are also heated & ventilated. The Kia has VIP lounge seats which are powered and can recline like the first class seats in an airplane. Personally, I prefer the Sienna’s hands-free feature more because if it’s raining and I have my hands full, those 5 seconds will feel like an eternity.īoth of these demo vehicles have 2nd row captain’s chairs but they are both available with bench seats. The Carnival has Kia’s stand-to-open feature where you stand in front of the door (or trunk) with the key in your pocket for about 5 seconds and then the door (or trunk) will open. The Toyota has a kick-to-open feature where you just kick your foot under a “Wi-Fi” looking logo on the side skirts. The Sienna does have a bit more headroom – across all 3 rows of seats – than the Carnival but I didn’t struggle to find a comfortable position.īoth cars have power sliding doors along with hands-free functions. The front seats are very spacious in both vehicles.
Interior Space – This is where it all matters with people movers.
