The 2025 Kia Carnival has an all-new, stylish look this year, and its good looks are rivaled only by its exciting features. Making family travel more fun, more convenient, and safer than ever, these Carnival features are just a few of our favorites.
1. Class-Leading Passenger and Cargo Space

With Carnival’s best-in-class passenger space and standard seating for seven or available seating for eight, your whole family will travel in comfort. Standard tri-zone auto climate control lets the rear passengers, driver, and front passenger adjust the temperature separately.
The Carnival’s seats flex to meet your needs, including the available slide-flex second-row seating. This seating configuration includes a middle seat that slides forward to make caring for a child from the front seat easier. While there’s an impressive 40.2 cu. ft. of space behind the third-row seats, you can also make use of up to 145.1 cu. ft. of storage when you fold the third-row seats and remove the second-row seats.
2. Highway Driving Assist
To keep you and your passengers safe, the Carnival comes standard with a comprehensive suite of 14 driver assistance technologies. Highway Driving Assist is one of these features, which works on compatible highways to detect your surroundings and automatically adjust your speed and steering. With available Highway Driving Assist 2, the system can even make automatic lane changes.
3. Navigation and Infotainment Touchscreen
The Carnival’s standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display lets you easily adjust audio and vehicle settings and get directions to your destination. Its infotainment system comes with SiriusXM satellite radio, plus wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect your smartphone. You can even keep everyone’s devices connected with seven USB ports and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
4. Kia Connect
Keeping a family on track and on time can be challenging, so the Carnival gives you standard convenience features like a 3-year subscription to Kia Connect. With this technology, you can use the Kia Access app to remotely start your Carnival’s engine and set the climate control before you leave the house. You can also remotely lock the doors, locate your vehicle, or receive a notification if the Carnival’s sensors detect a passenger left behind in the rear seats.
5. Powerful V6 Engine
The Carnival’s 287-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine gives you plenty of power for passing on the highway or for towing up to 3,500 pounds. Its 8-speed automatic transmission responds quickly to driver input with gear changes and maximizes fuel efficiency when less power is required.
