The 2025 Kia Carnival is a multipurpose vehicle (MPV) that beats to the sound of its own drum. It expertly bridges the gap between minivan functionality and SUV styling, giving it wide appeal across large families, road-trippers, and everyday drivers alike. Let’s explore why you should consider purchasing a 2025 Carnival.
Strong and Capable Engine
The Carnival is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel drive setup contributes to efficient drivetrain performance and a balanced ride. Several drive modes are included, offering drivers the ability to tailor the vehicle’s settings to suit their driving preferences. Standard modes include Normal, Sport, Smart, and Eco.
The Carnival continues to offer competitive fuel economy that translates to savings at the pump, with an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined.
Spacious and Adaptable Interior
The Carnival’s interior is designed with flexibility in mind. The second row comes standard with a bench seat that includes a sliding middle seat, making it easy for parents to bring children closer to the front. If maximum passenger space isn’t the main priority, drivers can opt for second row captain’s chairs for greater comfort.
Cargo volume is class-leading, with 40.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 86.9 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 145.1 cubic feet with both rows folded flat. All rear seats are fully removable, making it easy to turn the Carnival into a furniture-carrying van.
SUV-Inspired Style
Kia knows that drivers chagrin at the thought of being seen in a minivan, which is why the Carnival has SUV-inspired styling that turns it into a piece of eye candy. SUV-like styling elements include squared-off proportions, bold front fascia, and pronounced wheel arches. New wheel designs are available for wheels that range from 17 to 19 inches. For the ultimate sporty look, the Carnival Dark Edition trim features darkened exterior components.
Modern and Connected Technology
Standard on all models is a 12.3-inch infotainment display with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. A same-size digital instrument screen displays important information in a customizable layout. Keeping the kids entertained is easy thanks to an available rear-seat entertainment system with dual 14.6-inch displays. Multiple USB ports can found across all three rows, ensuring all passengers can keep their phones charged.
The Kia Carnival is the ultimate family hauler, with its spacious three-row interior, advanced technology, capable V6 engine, and eye-catching SUV style. Don’t wait to upgrade your family vehicle; stop by DARCARS Kia of Lanham in Lanham, MD to get started on your test drive today.
