The Grand Carnival’s interior design is very spacious with plenty of head and leg rooom, storage spaces and flexible seating configurations, as well as fold-flat third row seats for more luggage room.
By design, the roof of the Grand Carnival does not slope to the tailgate, and this allows third row passengers more headroom.
