CarTell take

We haven't driven the Staria yet. On paper, 5-year warranty trails Kia's 7-year on the Carnival. The Lounge Hybrid at $73,740 plus on-roads is Carnival HEV money.

Why consider it

  • AWD standard on the 2.2L turbo diesel is rare in the segment.
  • Genuine 8-seat capacity with proper third-row headroom, and a Staria Load van entry under $46k.

What to know

  • No hybrid powertrain.
  • Kia's Carnival HEV undercuts the Staria on running costs and warranty length, and that will matter to fleet buyers.

Who it suits

Big families who need eight real seats with proper headroom, tradies who want a HiAce alternative under $46k, and touring families who want AWD diesel and a van that looks like nothing else.
