TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Kia Carnival loads up on luxury, though it cedes Olympic-grade flexibility to other minivans.

With a 36-mpg hybrid powertrain for the entire lineup, the 2021 Toyota Sienna offers a mashup of swagger and sustainability.

TCC Likes

Good standard safety features
Versatile seat options
Roomy interior

All three rows are adult-sized
Awesome mpg given the space
Rides and handles better than an SUV

TCC Dislikes

No hybrid
No AWD
No stow-away second-row seats

Not as quick as other minivans
Can’t remove second-row seats
No plug-in Prime
