Used Kia Carnival Hybrid for sale near Glen Ridge, NJ

We have purchased several vehicles during our 56 years of marriage, but we must say that the recent purchase of a 2023 Nissan Rogue at Don Franklin Nissan in Somerset, KY, has been our BEST EXPERIENCE of buying a vehicle. Cody is a great salesman. We explained to him what we were shopping for, and he proceeded to show us vehicles that would meet our needs. He did not pressure us at all; he treated us with patience, kindness and respect. He conducted himself in a very professional manner. He showed us around the dealership and introduced us to many workers, who were also hospitable. Cody was extremely helpful to explain the features on our new vehicle with which we were unfamiliar. We strongly recommend that you ask for Cody when you shop for your next vehicle at Don Franklin Nissan Somerset. We are very satisfied with our experience!

Bought in Dec 2024 with a great deal. We needed a new car to support 3 car seats. The two choices in the category are mainly between the Sienna and the Carnival. Why we chose the Carnival: Availability: You had to pre-order a Sienna or wait 6-9 months to get one. Pricing: The Sienna was on average $10k higher with comparable features and no ability to negotiate down the pricing. Driving: The Carnival is quite speedy off the line given it is a hybrid. We live in a very hilly area (Colorado). The Sienna really struggled and was very loud going up normal hills. Looks: The Carnival looks like an SUV (Chevy Traverse). The Sienna looks like your typical minivan. The Pearl white color is especially beautiful up close. Tech: Large entertainment screen makes reading text / maps very easy. Rear seat camera is nice to see what the kids are doing. Wireless charger, bluetooth CarPlay work great. Expanded rear view camera. Things we wish the Carnival had: AWD: The Sienna is available with AWD (although no models on the lot had it). Instead of AWD we spent $1700 on snow tires, which typically perform better than AWD and all-seasons tires. Auto-dimming mirror / Homelink in the EX trim. I purchased an OEM and installed it myself for ~$275. The dealer price was around $800. Sure wish a $40k car came with an auto dimming mirror when it comes with a rear seat camera! Concerns: Kia has that nice 10 year warranty, but I'm not sure how well the interior will hold up to 3 kids under 5. The Kia connect app also did not work upon purchase and it requires a factory reset at the dealer Overall: Happy with our purchase. It looks like an SUV but has the space and maneuverability of a minivan. It's fast off the line for a car that gets 36 MPG. It's got the tech of more expensive car. Given Toyota's significant number of recalls, I wouldn't default to Toyota as being the safer / nicer option. I don't think it is worth the extra $.

Dorsch Kia was the most consistent when i needed a response. I did not do business because another dealer had free oil changes. I would like to add that if that sales pitch wasn’t there I would have given Dorsch my business.

Full-disclosure I didn't end up buying the car I was considering from Da Vinci (ultimately I bought a different class of new vehicle instead), but I received phenomenal service from Rudolf. He was informative, helpful, and patient. He was timely in his responses and answered every question I asked. The reason why this isn't a 5 star review is because of the communication experience with the dealership as a whole. Early on I received communicae from multiple individuals, and some of the details of my questions was lost. I had different people asking me questions that I'd previously answered. In any case, Rudolf took over and it was excellent henceforth.

Robb Taylor is the most knowledgeable dealer owner in Utah. Great guys working for him. Just the best used cars and offers them at the best price too. No bs price negotiations. Strait talk.

Know how to work with customers always giving deals on service. In service department. A one.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a car from Suntrup Kia South, and I can’t express how satisfied I am with the experience. Despite being a thousand miles away, their professionalism, transparency, and warmth made me feel right at home. From the moment I connected with Moe Saad, I knew I was in good hands. Moe exemplified the epitome of a top-notch car salesman, providing me with reassurance and guidance every step of the way. My search for the perfect EV9 led me to many dealerships, but none matched the integrity and authenticity of Suntrup Kia South. Moe and his team went above and beyond, offering red carpet treatment without the need for an actual red carpet. Even while under the weather, Moe ensured a seamless transaction, passing the baton to Dzenis, who continued the stellar customer service. From start to finish, every detail was meticulously handled, including a thoughtful conversation with sales manager Dave, who ensured my satisfaction was met at every turn. In an industry often plagued by deceit and gimmicks, Suntrup Kia South stands out as a beacon of honesty and excellence. It’s rare to find such a level of service and transparency, and I can confidently say this was the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Despite the distance, I’d make the journey again without hesitation. If you’re in the market for an EV9 or any vehicle, do yourself a favor and visit Suntrup Kia South. You won’t be disappointed. Hats off to Moe, Dzenis, Dave, and the entire team for exceeding expectations and setting the bar high for customer satisfaction.

First time foreign car buyer, service is great. Car was done after hours shuttle driver went home, quite pleased to hear that they sent an Uber driver to pick me up. Thank you. Washing my car and bringing it to me in the garage it's very impressive, again thank you.

We did a lot of searching with different dealers and Sunbury Ford had the SUV that I liked and the best deal. We went in and test drove the vehicle and loved it. Matt was amazing to work with and we decided to purchase it that day. Love our car, thank you Matt,Jeff,Shaun, and thank you Sunbury Ford!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Chuck Richmond was incredibly helpful in guiding us to the perfect family car. If you're looking for a new Kia, he is definitely your guy! He was friendly, kind, and went the extra mile to make sure we found exactly what we needed. Chuck made us feel like family throughout the entire process.

The saleswomen Raylynn went so up and beyond to help me buy a suv. They was so friendly. Just ask for Raylynn Nguyen Thank you Raylynn

Bought a fj cruiser from smart Chevy ober the phone. Great experience with a 100 mile delivery. Highly recommend the sales team of Eli and staff!!

Pleasantly surprised. The sales staff and sales manager were attentive. Derrick took time to answer our questions and find the right car for us. Alex made sure we had all our questions answered when we stopped by after buying our car a week later with a electronic problem and fixed the problem. Thank you so much!

Barry Fisher was so very helpful. He helped me pick the SUV that I really wanted. I'll be back to Car Town Kia!!

Exceptional service and courteous staff. May I mention Alan Woodyard, Mario, Serhan, Pepper and RJ. I have been a customer since 2020 for servicing of my Kia Soul and recently I purchased a newer Kia Soul. The standards at this dealership are high and customer service exceptional. Thank you!!

Amazing. Love this dealership. They always have amazing service when servicing my vehicle. Brad helped me last time and was so helpful, he made sure I was taken care of and informed throughout the whole process. Love this place!

Just bought my new Kia Telluride and salesperson Jericho Huntley made the transaction smooth and easy! He was very knowledgable and transparent. Would highly recommend!

Found the perfect truck with the perfect price. Justin did a great job walking us through the process. Couldn't be happier.
