Car and Driver - 2022 Kia Carnival test

Not often you get to update a 15 year-old thread with additional relevant info ...


----




Car and Driver magazine tested a 2022 Kia Carnival minivan with & without aero crossbars at 75 mph / 121 kmh.



Quote:
In the second run, we bested our prior attempt by 3 mpg (25 mpg to 28 mpg), a 12 percent increase and also better than the EPA's highway figure of 26 mpg.
