Whatever you do, don’t call these “minivans”. It seems like that word is off-limits in the world of automotive marketing because you won’t find it on Toyota Canada’s website in describing the 2021 Sienna Hybrid. On Kia Canada’s website, they went so far as to call the 2022 Carnival a “Life Utility Vehicle”; LUV. But marketing speak aside, which one is the better family hauler?

Toyota did something a bit controversial for this new generation of the Sienna. They completely did away with the V6 engine. Instead, it has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with hybrid assist for a total system output of 245 hp (183 kW). The all-new Kia Carnival 2022 is only offered with a 3.5L V6 that produces 290 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque (216 kW & 355 Nm). The engine can accelerate the Kia Carnival to 100 km/h a second faster than the Sienna at around 7 seconds.

The Kia Carnival is a tiny bit more engaging to drive on winding roads than the Toyota Sienna Hybrid 2021. The steering of the Kia progressively gets stiffer the faster you go so that you don’t have to consistently provide small inputs to stay in a straight line on a highway. But around town, it’s nice and easy to maneuver.

Between the two people carriers, the 2022 Kia Carnival is less expensive than the 2021 Toyota Hybrid Sienna when it comes to the starting price. $34,795 CAD ($32,100 USD) vs $39,990 CAD ($34,460 USD). But while the Carnival is less expensive, it’s also not as well equipped in base form. At the other end of the spectrum, a fully loaded Kia Carnival 2022 will cost you $48,595 CAD ($46,100 USD) and a fully loaded Toyota Sienna 2021 will be $58,190 CAD ($52,450 USD).
