From sporting events to family vacations, the 2025 Kia Carnival makes every trip together more enjoyable than ever before. It has a stylish new look this year, and it comes with some impressive standard technology and comfort features. The Carnival also helps you protect your family with a complete suite of standard driver assistance systems.

Introducing the 2025 Kia Carnival

Wherever you go, you can go together in the Carnival, with seating for seven or eight passengers. Everyone inside can enjoy their preferred temperatures, thanks to the standard tri-zone auto climate control system. Getting in and out is easy, too, with power sliding rear doors and sliding second-row seats. Eight-passenger Carnival models even have second-row Slide-Flex seating, which lets you slide the middle seat forward and back to tend to a child.

The Carnival’s cargo area is massive, with 40.2 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats or a best-in-class 145.1 cubic feet when you fold the third-row seats and remove the second-row seats. Under the hood, its 3.5-liter V6 provides 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, so you can accelerate quickly when you need to.

Bold, New Style

The Carnival’s exterior style is reimagined for 2025, with a bold, modern look that’s inspired by the EV9 electric SUV. There’s also a new Dark Edition package available on the SX trim level, with dark exterior trim and 19-inch dark alloy wheels.

SX and SX Prestige trim levels get new driver assistance features this year, like Highway Driving Assist 2. This system adds machine learning and automatic lane change functions to the standard Highway Driving Assist, which automatically manages your speed and steering on compatible highways.

Driver Assistance Technology

Nothing is more important than keeping you and your passengers safe, so the Carnival comes with driver assistance features that can help you look out for and avoid danger. Its Lane Departure Warning, for example, monitors your vehicle’s position in relation to lane markers, then warns you if you’re unintentionally exiting your lane. Lane Keeping Assist can also apply corrective steering to help keep you in your lane.

Even after you’ve parked your Carnival, features like Safe Exit Assist continue to monitor your surroundings for danger. This technology warns you if it detects another vehicle approaching from behind, so you and your passengers won’t exit into oncoming traffic.
