It offers a eight-speed automatic transmission only. It moves with an amazingly gracious sense of ease despite its big and heavy size because of its silky smooth acceleration and cruising manners. Suspension of the minivan is no doubt kept very smooth keeping rough stuff away and let you cruise around the town nicely. The cabin is very quiet keeping the outside noises and engine noises out of the cabin and let you enjoy your ride even in a noise-free ambient even at 100 kilometres per hour.

Grand Carnival becomes a bit thirsty when driving in bad city traffics and provides not more than 4.5 kilometres per litre but it increases on highways providing 9.9 kilometres per litre.
