Designed for adventures with your extended family, the 2024 Kia Carnival impresses with bold styling, class-leading performance, and plenty of luxury features to pamper all riders. Let’s explore some of the things that make this MPV a must-have.
2024 Kia Carnival Basics

The 2024 Carnival is available in four trim levels, each equipped with numerous comfort and technology features designed to elevate your driving experience. The base LX is offered in a standard 7-seat configuration, while the upper models boast flexible seating for eight.
Ample room for adults in all three rows and a large trunk with a capacity of 40.2 cubic feet make the Carnival perfect for extended trips with your family or outdoor weekends with your buddies. For transporting larger items or moving across the country, the cargo capacity can expand up to 145.1 cubic feet.
Class-Leading Performance
Each trim level of the 2024 Carnival is powered by a 3.5L V6 GDI Lambda engine that produces 290 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft of torque. This engine is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive for excellent vehicle control in all weather conditions and an outstanding fuel economy of 22 MPG combined.
In the higher trims, larger wheels boost traction while contributing to the vehicle’s athletic, SUV-inspired aesthetic. Trailer hitch pre-wiring and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs make adventures in your Carnival more fun as you can easily tow a toy trailer or your Airstream.
Practical Design
The Carnival blends bold design elements with practical features that deliver an upscale experience to all riders. Hands-free power sliding doors, standard on all trim levels, ensure seamless access for rear passengers. The standard second-row captain’s chairs tilt and fold easily, allowing quick third-row access. Optional on the base trim and standard on the higher models, a modular multifunction second-row center seat boosts convenience.
Cupholders, pockets, and cubbies provide plenty of in-cabin storage for loose items and essentials. Passengers in all rows can enjoy easy access to USB ports or 12V power outlets and in the upper trims, a hands-free power tailgate enables easy access to the cargo area.
Next-Gen Technologies
Advanced technologies equip each Carnival trim level, keeping entertainment and connectivity at your fingertips. The base trim boasts wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the higher trims also support wired smartphone integration for improved connectivity in areas with poor signal.
In the higher trims, in-cabin communication includes Passenger View and Passenger Talk, two functions that allow front-row passengers to keep an eye on the rear seats and communicate clearly with the passengers in the third row. Smart vehicle access and driver assistance systems complete the model’s tech suite, boosting convenience and safety.
