Ordered a 2023 SX Prestige back in mid July last year. Been waiting patiently and just got told today it will be ready for right around July 4th weekend. (July 3rd!)

Bonus that I didn’t notice until my salesman pointed out. It was upgraded to a 2024. So my carnival coming in July will officially be a 2024. So excited. Been waiting so long for this!!

Congrats!
And wow...it almost takes a year....this is why they all charge an outrageous markup or option.

Yup. I chose to wait and drive the 3-4 hours instead of buying in MD-VA area and spend anywhere from 5-10k over sticker. Plus we weren’t in a hurry, we still have my wife’s 2015 Sedona.
Congratulations! Did you get the lounge seats or opt for the bench seat? Same for the rear seat monitors.

DELETED - I though it was in my post :)

I opted for the standard bench 8 passenger with no rear entertainment. It’s the only reason I got the carnival. We currently have a Kia Sedona with the 8 passenger and love it. Originally we were getting a telluride because there was no 8 passenger option on the sx prestige, until the 23 was announced. So we tried to order one for a while but either got crazy markups or dealers didn’t want to take orders. We got lucky and got an order in and thought we had to wait a long time we weren’t in a rush. Better than paying 4-10k over sticker

Glad to hear. I am in the Same Club 23SXP with 8 seats. It is really great with all 3 in the middle row individually sliding. Variety of configurations possible.

We have the SXP 7 seater from 2022. Normally the kids enter the third row through the middle of the second row seats. What's it like entering into the third row with the 3 middle row seats?

We have the Sedona with the 8 passenger option the two outside chairs slide up and get out of the way allowing access to the rear 3rd row. Or we remove the middle seat if not needed and then it acts like a 7 passenger configuration

Same for SXP, you have a Lever to fall and move on the side. so it is easy to get in and out. You can remove or switch around if you need to. to use as table for 2nd or 3rd row
