Featuring the most spacious cabin in its class and impressive standard features, the 2025 Kia Carnival is a minivan unlike any other. It returns this year with a new look and more advanced tech features to keep you safe and connected on the road.
Meet the 2025 Kia Carnival
The Carnival was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind, with standard features like power sliding rear doors and tri-zone auto climate control. Its five trim levels let you customize the cabin with seating for seven or eight passengers and your choice of woven cloth, SynTex, or leather seat trim. When you choose an eight-passenger model you’ll also enjoy second-row slide-flex seating, which lets you slide the middle seat forward or backward to take care of a child.
The Carnival’s cabin is incredibly flexible, so you can choose the amount of passenger and cargo space you need. Behind the third-row seats, you’ll find 40.2 cubic feet of storage. You can also fold the third-row seats and remove the second-row seats to create a best-in-class 145.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
Performance and Capability
With 287 horsepower from the Carnival’s 3.5-liter V6, you can confidently maneuver on the highway and tow up to 3,500 pounds. Its 8-speed automatic transmission responds quickly and optimizes efficiency to produce an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined. Thanks to Kia’s Powertrain Limited Warranty, which covers your Carnival for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, you’ll have even greater peace of mind.
New Look, New Tech
For 2025, the Carnival has been redesigned with an SUV-inspired look that comes with an updated grille, wheels, and lighting. The SX trim gets a new optional Dark Edition package with 19-inch dark alloy wheels and dark exterior trim.
The Carnival also receives technology updates, including the newly available Highway Driving Assist 2. Like the standard Highway Driving Assist, this system can control steering and vehicle speed on the highway. Optional Highway Driving Assist 2 can also make automatic lane changes and includes machine learning functions.
Connections and Convenience
When you’re on the go, convenience features like the standard Smart Key make a big difference. This key fob can communicate with your Carnival when it’s inside your pocket or purse, so you won’t need to take it out to unlock the doors and start the engine. With the included 3-year subscription to Kia Connect, you can even use your smartphone to remotely start the engine, lock the doors, locate your vehicle on a map, and more.
If you need an adaptable family vehicle that helps you get where you’re going in safety and comfort, you can’t miss the Kia Carnival. To find out more, call or visit our showroom at Team Kia in Johnstown, PA.
