Discover the 2025 Kia Carnival: Redefining the Minivan Experience

With a capable powertrain and a refined ride, the 2025 Kia Carnival is well-suited for the important task of transporting your whole family. Its comfortable interior, stylish appearance, and modern technology redefine what it means to drive a minivan.

2025 Carnival Basics

The 2025 Carnival is a seven-seat minivan with a spacious cabin. A 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood makes 287 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. A front strut suspension and a multi-link rear system both include coil springs, providing a balanced ride and smooth handling. There are five trim levels available: LX, LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige, so you can customize your minivan with the right set of features for your family.

Updates to the 2025 Lineup

The 2025 Carnival lineup features many style updates, including the wheels, grille, lower body panels, headlights, and taillights, all of which contribute to the minivan’s SUV-like exterior. Inside, the dashboard-mounted climate control panel is now separate from the center console, which also has a slightly updated look. Kia’s latest infotainment system features a more functional voice assistant, which can respond to more commands than the previous version.

Three-Row Comfort

The standard front bucket seats offer an eight-way adjustment for the driver and a four-way adjustment for the passenger. Tumble-forward seats with manual fore/aft adjustments are standard in the second row, which offers 40.5 inches of legroom for taller riders to stretch out. The fixed 60/40-split third-row bench can manually recline, offers 35.6 inches of legroom, and can fold into the floor. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard, and a panoramic sunroof is available for extra fresh air.

Generous Cargo Space

Even with all the seats upright, the 2025 Carnival can fit up to 40.2 cubic feet of luggage behind the third row. The space more than doubles to 87 cubes behind the second row, and you’ll get a massive 145 cubic feet of volume behind the front seats when you need to leave the kids at home and do some serious hauling.

Modern Infotainment

The Kia infotainment system is delivered through either a standard 12-inch touchscreen or a dual 12.3-inch screen that houses both the infotainment display and a digital gauge cluster. The upgraded voice assistant can respond to commands to open windows, adjust the temperature, and more. An optional entertainment system for the rear seats provides two 14.6-inch monitors for kids to stream their favorite media, which is perfect for keeping them occupied on long trips.
