The Carnival seats seven or eight, depending on configuration, and swallows up to 145.1 cu-ft of cargo with the second and third rows folded. Available VIP Lounge Seats recline with power footrests and ventilation, while dual sunroofs and ambient lighting elevate family road trips. Standard tri-zone automatic climate control keeps every row happy, and power-sliding doors plus a hands-free liftgate make school-run loading effortless.
An available 24-inch panoramic display (dual 12.3-inch screens) anchors the dash with built-in navigation, Kia Connect telematics, and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™. Options such as Passenger View Night-Vision Camera, a digital rear-view mirror, and dual 14.6-inch rear entertainment screens keep you informed and the kids engaged. A 12-speaker Bose® system turns every playlist into a front-row concert.


Standard Kia Drive Wise safety brings Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance, Lane-Keeping & Following Assist, and more. Step up the range and you’ll add Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-change assist, a 360° Surround-View Monitor, and Junction-Crossing emergency braking—features that often cost thousands extra on rival vans and SUVs.
