Breaking Down the All-New Kia Carnival

What is the Kia Carnival?

The 2022 Kia Carnival titles itself as an MPV, which stands for multi-purpose vehicle. Think of an SUV mixed with a minivan. In fact, the Carnival is taking the place of Kia’s outgoing Sedona minivan to re-establish what drivers consider to be the perfect family-ready vehicles. Kia does a fantastic job of bridging the gap between three-row SUVs and spacious minivans with the impressive new Carnival MPV.

Style

In our opinion, the only things that give the Carnival away as a minivan replacement are the sliding rear doors. The rest of the Carnival’s body style draws inspiration from the full-size SUV world. The Carnival features muscled grooves along its sides and hood. The front fascia employs a black mesh grille and angular headlamps to create a tough personality. From the roof rails to the blacked-out wheel options, the 2022 Carnival is impressive to behold.

Space

The new Carnival seats up to eight passengers in its best-in-class passenger space. The Carnival’s three rows are highly customizable to let you create the perfect cabin for your family’s needs. If you want the ability to give your Carnival a cargo van-style cabin, opt for the removable second-row seats and the third-row seats that fold into the floor. This configuration makes the Carnival achieve the best-in-class cargo capacity award.

Entertainment and Tech

The 2022 Carnival offers a range of technologies to enhance your drives. Opt for a model outfitted with the dual 12.3-inch screens for the central touch screen and the driver information cluster. The available 11-speaker Bose system with a subwoofer gives your Carnival a concert-hall sound. If you want to keep your passengers occupied, upgrade your MPV with the dual-screen entertainment system on the back of the front seats.

You can make your presence known in the very back of the Carnival with the available two-way intercom system that amplifies your voice in the back rows. The passenger view monitor with night vision lets you visually check on the passengers in the back to make sure they’re doing well.

Safety

This new family-ready vehicle would not be so without a full array of next-level safety features. Chief among these are the driver-assist systems. The safe exit assist tells you and your passengers when it’s safe to open the Carnival’s doors and step out into the world. The forward collision avoidance assist system comes standard on the Carnival, as well as the rear occupant alert, blind-spot collision avoidance system, and the rear cross-traffic monitor.

When this great new vehicle from the Kia family rolls into dealerships, you’ll have your test drive waiting for you here at Superior Kia. We’re as excited to explore the great features of the 2022 Kia Carnival MPV as you are.
