Interior Review of the 2025 Kia Carnival

Inside, the Carnival offers plenty of room, versatility, and quick access. Drivers of all sizes can find a comfortable position thanks to the driver's seat's adjustability. The big windows and available surround-view camera system provide excellent visibility from inside the vehicle.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Carnival is best in class. The versatile eight-seater layout is enhanced by the removable third-row bench, making it ideal for families. You can put the bench in its own designated storage area after you remove it. Behind the third row, you'll find 40.2 cubic feet of luggage space. When you fold down the third row and remove the second-row bench, that number increases to 145.1 cubic feet.

There is a plethora of storage spaces available in the Carnival’s interior. Do you plan to use booster seats or car seats for your children while you travel? Enough room is provided for the installation of safety seats.

Exterior Review of the 2025 Kia Carnival

The new Carnival takes design cues from Kia's cutting-edge EV9 all-electric three-row SUV. Despite its minivan roots, the Carnival stands out thanks to its SUV-like design and practical amenities like sliding side doors. Also, unlike SUVs, it's easy to strap a child into a car seat because of its lower ride height. These comforts help make the Carnival a great option for families.

Power and Performance of the 2025 Kia Carnival

The Carnival has a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces an impressive 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain sends power to the front wheels, as all-wheel drive is unavailable, through an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Carnival has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

The Carnival's automatic transmission shifts gears smoothly, the steering is easy yet accurate, and the brakes provide a reassuring feel without being overly abrupt. Additionally, the suspension manages the challenging task of keeping everyone comfortable while minimizing body roll. This can help prevent travel sickness. You can take the Carnival on short trips around town and longer journeys, making it perfect as a family vehicle.

This year, Kia introduced Highway Driving Assist 2, the newest iteration of Hyundai's outstanding semi-autonomous driving technology. Under appropriate circumstances and within reasonable limits, the Carnival can nearly drive itself along extended stretches of open road or in stop-and-go traffic. Just maintain a hand on the wheel and stay alert. These systems from Kia perform remarkably well.
