It’s More Than a Car—It’s a Carnival

Amid all the chatter and excitement around Kia’s next generation of vehicles, one car that often slips under people’s radar is the Kia Carnival. It could be because of its sheer size, or the fact that the audience for a minivan is niche compared to people shopping for sedans and SUVs.

But if you’re here because you’re a fan of minivans, we’ve got a treat in store for you. Below, we’ll tell you all you need to know about the 2025 Kia Carnival MPV, and why it’s the best Carnival yet.

But before that—don’t forget to fill out the waitlist form at the bottom of the page. It’ll help us keep you posted on updates, specs, and rumors about the Carnival.

The great thing about Carolina Kia of High Point is that even if you’re not in the market for a minivan, we’ve still got plenty of options for you. Consider a new 2024 Kia Telluride for sale in High Point and the surrounding areas. It’s a full-size SUV that combines great performance with a great price tag.

Wait, what’s an MPV?

The Kia Carnival is an MPV or multi-purpose vehicle. In case you’re wondering, yes, it’s the same thing as a minivan.

When can I buy the 2025 Kia Carnival MPV?

We’re expecting a late summer 2024 release, so not too long to go now! Make sure you’re on our waitlist below so you can be the first to get behind the wheel of one as soon as it’s available for purchase.

What other cars does the Kia Carnival MPV compete against?

We’re tempted to say that the Carnival is in a league of its own, but let’s take a look at the competition earnestly:

Within the category, you could hold up the Carnival against a Toyota Sienna, a Honda Odyssey, or a Chrysler Voyager.

While these cars are similar in size, it’s important to look at the complete package—price, performance, and durability.

Speaking of durability, if you prefer SUVs to minivans (assuming you want something smaller), we’d highly recommend a new Kia Niro for sale in High Point and the surrounding areas.

What kind of performance can I expect from the 2025 Kia Carnival MPV?

You’ll have two powertrain options with the Carnival MPV:

• The standard option, which is a 3.5L V6 engine. It produces 290 hp with 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s ideal for full-family travel in, around, and outside the city. Despite its sheer muscle, it’s surprisingly nimble and accelerates fast, offering great control and precision.
• Then you’ve got the hybrid option, which boasts a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor to help you keep those gas bills down. You can expect a combined output of 242 hp with 271 lb-ft of torque. This variant is the environmentally conscious driver’s choice, offering a better range with fewer fill-ups along the way, without sacrificing control and performance.

Not to mention, both powertrains come with a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, which is plenty of power for a vehicle of the Carnival’s stature.

What kind of engine will the 2024 Kia Carnival have?

The Carnival features a monstrous 3.5L V6 engine that generates 290 hp to give you best-in-class performance. Expect an EPA-estimated 26 MPG on the highway which is phenomenal considering the size of the 2024 Kia Carnival.

If you’re looking for something smaller within the Kia family, you might be interested in a new Kia Sportage for sale in High Point, which is Kia’s most popular crossover SUV (a step above a sedan).

What does the 2024 Kia Carnival look like?

While its main competitor, the Honda Odyssey, looks boxy and functional, the Carnival packs in style, class and sophistication. Which shouldn’t be surprising considering how smartly designed most Kia cars are. 

The LED headlights look sleek and flank the bold, modern grille, while the tail lights get an unconventional but simple design upgrade to give the Carnival a more fun, contemporary aesthetic.

The 19-inch machine-finished wheels look sharp and sturdy, giving the car a nice, muscled look from a distance.

What about the inside?

The Carnival has plenty of room inside, as you can imagine. The 2nd row middle seat slides forward, giving easy access to front-row passengers to whatever you might be storing there.

The Carnival also offers best-in-class cargo space with the option to remove 2nd and 3rd row seats that sink into the floor, turning the inside of the Carnival into a massive floor bed for you to store whatever you need to.

Finally, the second-row seats also have a really cool relaxation mode that offers fully reclining seats, along with raised footrests and headrests.
