Kia designs the Carnival as a Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) to blend the extreme utility and interior space of a minivan with the bold, aggressive exterior lines, elevated hood design, and premium stance of a modern three-row SUV.
Yes, the Kia Carnival offers a highly efficient Hybrid powertrain option available across multiple trim levels (starting from the LXS level and up). It combines excellent fuel economy with the exact same best-in-class passenger and cargo space as the standard V6 gas model.
Available on the top-tier SX Prestige trim, the second-row VIP Lounge Seats transform the cabin into a first-class experience. These premium captain’s chairs feature one-touch relaxation mode, power-recline functionality, wing-out headrests, heated and ventilated seat cushions, and integrated leg extensions.
The Kia Carnival boasts best-in-class cargo capacity. It features a deep storage well behind the third row for daily groceries or sports gear, and when the rear seats are removed or folded down, it delivers maximum cargo versatility to accommodate larger hardware store runs or vacation luggage.
Every Kia Carnival comes standard with a comprehensive safety suite, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (with Pedestrian and Cyclist detection), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance, Lane Keeping Assist, and Safe Exit Assist to protect your family in any driving condition.
