Kia Carnival Reviews

Carnival Performance

As a Kia MPV, the Carnival is a unique blend of family-functional and refined power. With a 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood, your family’s adventures will be powered by 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, the Carnival can even haul a maximum of 3,500 pounds, so your lightweight travel trailer can make the journey with you.

Carnival Interior

With three rows of seating, your kids and their friends will be able to come along for the ride. Even when running errands all afternoon or taking a length road trip, everyone will stay entertained, thanks to an available dual-screen Rear Seat Entertainment System.

This feature comes with device-mirroring to allow your kids to choose the movie or show they each want to watch without sparring for the controls.

Carnival Family Features

Even when your children are chilling out with a movie, you’ll be able to stay connected to them, thanks to available Driver & Passenger Talk. This 2-way intercom system amplifies your voice, so even the rear row can hear you loud and clear. During nighttime drives, available Passenger View with Night Vision allows you to keep an eye on your snoozing little ones.

Carnival Safety

Every mile will be safe and secure in the Kia Carnival with the following standard systems:

• Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Safe Exit Assist

These features are designed to keep you fully alert on the unpredictable road ahead. They’ll work together to let you know when a vehicle is approaching you as you’re backing out or if you may be distracted when driving. In certain situations, they can even apply the brakes to help avoid a collision altogether.

• LX
• EX

As you progress through these trims, various interior amenities like a wireless phone charger and heated and ventilated front seats will become available to you to help refine your ride.
