“The Carnival is built for families who need space, comfort and safety in equal measure. Its 2.2L turbocharged diesel delivers solid performance while the cabin tech and safety suite feel properly thought-out for the segment. Efficiency and ride quality are adequate rather than exceptional, but this is a car that knows what it is: a premium people-mover with genuine substance.
