2025 Kia Carnival

A versatile family ride, the 2025 Kia Carnival can redefine your daily drives with its powerful performance, first-class comfort, and advanced tech features.

2025 Kia Carnival Performance

The 2025 Carnival is an MPV with massive power under the hood. Its 3.5L V6 engine pumps out 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty of muscle for a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. An eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive deliver smooth shifting and EPA-estimated ratings of up to 26 MPH on highways.

Selectable drive modes and independent front and rear suspension improve handling in various driving conditions. Kia also equips this vehicle with standard trailer pre-wiring.

Flexible Interior Layout

This multi-purpose vehicle has a flexible interior layout that allows you to transform it from a family ride to a cargo hauler in minutes. The standard layout provides seats for seven riders, and you can remove the second-row seats and stow the third-row seats into the floor to expand the cargo capacity behind the front seats.

When you need the full passenger capacity, the rear cargo area provides 40.2 cubic feet of space for your luggage. The maximum cargo capacity is 145.1 cubic feet, which is plenty of room for transporting furniture. An eight-seat interior layout with a free-mode center seat in the second row is available.

Family-Friendly Features 

Built with families in mind, the Carnival delivers first-class comfort in all rows. The front row has 41.1 inches of legroom, allowing even the tallest drivers to maintain a natural posture behind the wheel. You can also adjust the driver’s seat height for enhanced comfort. The second-row seats slide easily for effortless rear access, while a fixed floor console with a storage box and 11 cupholders provides plenty of in-cabin storage for loose items.

Utility features also include second-row seatback pockets, coat hooks, and shopping hooks. For easy vehicle access, the Carnival comes with hands-free dual power-sliding doors.

Infotainment and Connectivity

To keep your crew connected and entertained, each Carnival model comes with an advanced Kia Connect infotainment system with SiriusXM, a modem, and smartphone integration features. The built-in navigation system is intuitive to use and also enables navigation-based smart cruise control. The infotainment system comes standard with a 12.3-inch center touchscreen and has over-the-air update capability.

Smart Driver Assistance

Kia also equips this ride with a suite of advanced driver assistance technologies, including highway driving assistance, lane-keep and lane-change assistance, driver attention warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Front and rear parking sensors can help you maneuver the vehicle in crowded or tight parking lots.

With ample space inside and a flexible interior design, the Carnival is one of the most versatile family haulers. Stop by Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH, to take it for a test drive.
