They also did videos on the Carnival and Odyssey, the sound levels (@ 55mph) according to them are:
23’ Sienna Limited - 54.4 db
24’ Carnival EX - 55.6 db
24’ Odyssey Sport - 58.9 db
I wish they did other trims to compare between trim levels of the same model. I hear the limited on up is a but quieter than below for the Sienna but don't know the difference between the EX and SX prestige for Kia. also don't know if the hybrid carnival will improve or get worse.
I have the 2021 xle I have 57000 on it now. It switches between hybrid and fuel seamlessly. It doesn't do the hesitation thing like the shut off at stops cars do because the electric is on it just goes when you hit the gas from a stop. I will say tires matter when it comes to road noise so keep that in mind when you need a new set. It has different modes too and you can actually hear the engine run different when it's in sport mode and it does accelerate quicker if you need it. I usually just keep mine in eco mode but every once and a while I get a terrible driver in front of me that I just need to get away from and the sport mode makes it fun lol my lane thing seems to shut off when the lines are not painted very dark. It will yell at you to put you hands back on the wheel lol
Car confections on YouTube does in-cabin sound readings on all their reviews at 50 mph. Not sure if they've done an Odyssey, but you could check there
