Overview
The eight-seater Grand Carnival SLi is 320mm longer than the discontinued base model, adding capacity/luggage room. Drive comes from a 143kW/429Nm, 8.1L/100km 2.2-litre turbodiesel driving a five-speed auto, leaving the previous 2.9 in the dust. There are powered dual sliding doors, many seat configurations - the rear folds away totally, and the backs of both middle and rear row fold forward for a load space of 3.1 cubic metres. Driver wise the dash is simply logical, and passengers get separate front and rear temperature zones. There are ABS, stability/traction control, eight airbags and reversing camera. Competitors include Mazda's MPV and Chrysler's Voyager.
