2025 Kia Carnival

For 2025, the Kia Carnival comes in five trim levels: LX, LX Seat Package, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The base LX trim level rides on 17-inch silver-finished alloy wheels and comes with heated exterior side mirrors and LED headlights. The LX Seat Package is available in more paint colors, while the EX trim level features 19-inch alloy wheels with a machined finish. Consider the SX trim level for roof rails and 19-inch alloy wheels with gloss-black finish. The top-of-the-line SX Prestige trim level comes with dual sunroofs, LED projector headlights and LED taillights. This 2025 Kia minivan is available in eight exterior paint colors. Buyers can pick from colorful options such as Deep Chroma Blue, Flare Red, and Astra Blue, or more understated options such as Panthera Metal, Ceramic Silver, Silky Silver, Snow White Pearl, and Aurora Black Pearl.

A 3.5-liter engine sits under the hood of the Kia Carnival. This engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and generates as much as 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.

All trim levels of the 2025 Kia Carnival come with front-wheel drive. The maximum towing capacity for this minivan is 3,500 pounds.

The 2025 Kia Carnival has seating for seven or eight, depending on which cabin configuration you select. The vehicle offers second-row VIP lounge seats that slide and recline. A second-row bench seat is available as an alternative option. All versions of the vehicle feature sliding and removable second-row seats and reclining third-row seats that can fold into the floor. You'll get 40.2 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row, 86.8 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 145.1 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded down. An 8-inch infotainment display comes standard with the 2025 Carnival. This touch-screen display works with Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With these features, drivers can connect their smartphones to the Carnival and stream their saved music and podcasts, use voice commands to make hands-free phone calls and send hands-free text messages, access their go-to navigation apps, and more.

If you're using the Kia Carnival as a family minivan, safety is likely your top priority. Car buyers can have peace of mind knowing the minivan is equipped with standard driver-assist safety technologies such as lane-following assistance, lane-keeping assistance, Safe Exit Assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. Lane-following assistance and lane-keeping assistance help drivers stay on their path, while Safe Exit Assist uses an alert system to help riders get out of their cars as safely as possible. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert uses sensors and an alert system to help drivers switch lanes without worry. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection uses sensors, an alert system, and the brakes to reduce the risk of a head-on collision.
