Order 2025 Kia Carnival
It’s Carnival Time!
The 2025 Kia Carnival is finally here at Carolina Kia of High Point, and we’re excited to share with you everything there is to know about it. There’s been a lot of chatter leading up to the release, and we’ve gotta say—it lives up to all the hype.
Fans of the classic minivan will note that the Carnival looks like anything but a minivan. But that doesn’t mean it’s gotten smaller or has forgotten its roots. Keep reading for a deep dive into the 2025 Carnival!
In the meantime, if you are interested in a different Kia car (perhaps an SUV?), consider a new 2024 Kia Telluride for sale in High Point and the surrounding areas. It’s a full-size SUV that combines fantastic performance with a really attractive price tag.
I’ve heard the 2025 Kia Carnival being called an MPV. What’s an MPV?
An MPV is a multi-purpose vehicle, which is a slightly more formal way of saying “minivan.” As we mentioned before, the 2025 Carnival isn’t shedding its minivan roots just yet, and below we’ll tell you why it’s turning heads among people who wouldn’t consider buying a minivan (or an MPV).
What cars does the Kia Carnival MPV compete against?
You can compare the Carnival with a Toyota Sienna, a Honda Odyssey, or a Chrysler Voyager.
While these MPVs are similar in size, it’s important to look at the complete package before you make a decision—price, power, performance, and predictability (hint: you want a predictable car!)
Speaking of size, if you’d rather something smaller than the Carnival, we’d highly recommend a new Kia Niro for sale in High Point and the surrounding areas. It’s one of Kia’s most popular SUVs, and for good reason.
What kind of interior space am I looking at with the 2025 Kia Carnival?
Best-in-class cargo and passenger space, for starters. It comfortably seats up to 7 passengers, with a roomy 38.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 3rd row. If you decide to fold the 3rd row, you get a total of 145.1 cubic feet of storage, which offers you plenty of space for luggage, sports equipment, groceries, or anything else.
You’ll have the option to include 2nd-row VIP Lounge Seats with one-touch relaxation mode, offering a full recline along with raised power footrests, headrests, and seat ventilation and heating. For a car of this size, that’s a game changer in the segment.
You’ll also have available Slide-Flex seating for the 2nd row that allows the middle seat to move forward for easier access, or even transform into a table for the 2nd and 3rd rows.
What about performance?
The 2025 Kia Carnival boasts a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 287 hp with 260 lb-ft of torque. You can expect an EPA-estimated range of 26 MPG on the highway, which is significant for an MPV.
With a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, the Carnival is built to go the distance and is ideal for full-family travel around and outside the city.
