2025 Kia Carnival MPV Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2025 Kia Carnival MPV?

The Carnival is one of Kia's newest designs, having been in the world only since 2022. However, they've taken the time to upgrade its features for the 2025 model year. Expect bold new exterior features (extra wheels, a new grille), a new climate control system, and even a larger touchscreen. With so much newness on the way, it might be time to consider the Carnival as your next family vehicle seriously.

What are the 2025 Carnival MPV Trims & Features?

Trims: LX, LXS, EX, SX, SX Prestige

The Carnival has the distinction of best-in-class passenger and cargo capacity. There's room for a big, happy family to enjoy their space and technology. Slide-flex seating helps everyone get situated in the model just as they want. The Carnival is available in colors like Astra Blue, Panthera Metal, and Flare Red. Early trims showcase the advanced intelligent safety features that come standard: Blind-Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Navigation-Based Cruise Control with Stop/Go tech. Even early on, the Carnival was beautifully decorated with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and SynTex seat trim (LXS), dual sunroofs (SX), and a Bose premium sound system (SX Prestige). SX Prestige trims can also be equipped with a rear seat entertainment system and ambient light.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2025 Carnival MPV Have?

People are pleased with the Carnival's performance. Its 3.5L V6 engine is rated at 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Some family models leave out the extra horsepower, but the Carnival doesn't. It's a fun model for drivers, too.

What Safety Features Does the 2025 Carnival MPV Include?

Kia is proud they've devised a "smarter way to drive." With their driver-assist features, drivers get added confidence from features like rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist and Highway Driving Assist 2. This more advanced form of Driving Assist delivers data from its cameras and sensors to help maintain following distance and keep you at a safe speed. Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control now comes with Stop and Go features that allow drivers to confidently endure longer journeys.
