The Carnival is the people mover that keeps existing against the odds. Buyers keep choosing large SUVs instead. But the Carnival offers something the SUV does not: a flat floor, better seat access for children, and more usable boot space with all rows in place. Jenny tests whether the 2019 model still makes the argument for the format.

The review covers the cabin layout, the powertrain, tow rating, standard features, and where the price landed relative to a large SUV. School runs and Bunnings trips both get a mention. Jenny brings the kind of practicality check that press fleet reviews often skip.

The Carnival has since been replaced by an updated model. This review remains relevant for anyone considering a used example or wanting to understand what the format does well that an SUV cannot match.
