2022 Kia Carnival

For 2022, the Kia Carnival comes in four trim levels. The first is the base LX trim level, which comes with LED headlights, power-sliding rear doors, and 17-inch wheels. If you're interested in an upgrade, pick the EX trim level. This trim rides on 19-inch wheels and features a hands-free power tailgate. The SX trim level is the next trim, which includes roof rails, LED fog lights, 19-inch black wheels, and power-folding side mirrors. The top-of-the-line SX Prestige trim level includes dual sunroofs and luxury enhancements.

All four trim levels of the 2022 Kia Carnival are powered by the same engine. This engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that generates 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It links to an eight-speed automatic transmission that is smooth and responsive.

Front-wheel drive is the only available option for the 2022 Carnival. When properly equipped, this minivan can tow up to 3,500 pounds. That's plenty of strength for towing a trailer during camping trips.

An 8-inch touch screen sits on the dashboard of the 2022 Kia Carnival. This touch screen is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These features allow users to sync their smartphone to the Carnival to play their saved podcasts and music and make hands-free phone calls and send hands-free text messages. Bluetooth connectivity and seven USB ports are also standard. Additionally, the 2022 Carnival comes with a six-speaker stereo system and HD Radio. Up to eight can get around in the 2022 Carnival. This three-row minivan comes standard with a second-row bench seat, but the SX Prestige trim level switches out this bench seat for captain's chairs. With the captain's chairs, the minivan has seating for seven. Passengers in the first row receive 41.1 inches of legroom, while second-row riders get 40.5 inches of legroom and third-row passengers receive 35.5 inches of legroom. In addition to generous legroom, the Carnival also provides cargo space. There is 40.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third row of seats, but that number increases to 86.9 cubic feet when the third row is folded down. The second row can fold down as well for 145.1 cubic feet of space. Transport passengers, cargo, or both in the versatile and spacious 2022 Carnival.

This 2022 Kia minivan comes with a long list of driver-assist technologies that can help drivers operate the vehicle as safely as possible. Lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist help drivers stay on their path, while rear-cross traffic alert helps reduce the risk of a collision when switching lanes. There is also forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, which helps drivers avoid frontal crashes. Other standard driver-assist safety technologies include rear parking sensors, vehicle exit warning, driver drowsiness warning, and a rearview camera.
