2025 Kia Carnival MPV Adds Hybrid Power and Fresh Style
It looks like the party isn’t slowing down for Kia’s Carnival MPV. Once called the Sedona in the United States, Kia pivoted its people mover to the Korean market’s name in 2020. Now carrying the Carnival badge, Kia is throwing some updates at its big people mover for 2025. The updated minivan is adding a hybrid powertrain option, getting some revised styling, and more for 2025. Diving in under the hood, the Kia Carnival’s new powertrain is interesting. While the 3.5-liter V6 is still around, and basically unchanged, the new hybrid powerplant gives some diversity to minivan shoppers.

Mercedes-Benz G 550 Luggage Test: How much fits in the cargo area?
This is an utterly pointless exercise. I'm OK admitting it. I mean, if six suitcases can't fit in the back of a Mercedes G Wagen… well, it would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it? Normally, I wouldn't luggage test something so obviously capable of fitting all the bags in question, but I did the Land Rover Defender 110, which is sorta the G Wagen's closest rival. Also, it's a G Wagen, so it's inherently fun to do ridiculous things with it. Also also, it's a G Wagen Professional Edition, which adds a handful of elements related to cargo capacity. I'll be doing a more complete review of it soon, but in the meantime, let's put some suitcases in the thing!
