Diesel models are currently only available outside of Canada and the US.
I'm told by Kia Canada the reason is there is no demand for such a vehicle
in North America. Interesting considering the current gas prices in "the
great white north!"
Not to say they will never be available; however, don't hold your breath.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I own a Kia Carnival (=Sedona) with a 2.9 L Turbo Diesel & auto trans...
I live in France. Here most of vehicles are equipped with a diesel
engine (about 60%)

It's a good engine. My car is a 2000 model, it's a bit noisy. The 2003
model is less noisy and has more power (common rail)

Visit the Kia sites in Europe (UK, France, Spain, Germany...)

Patrick
