Forget everything you thought you knew about minivans. The 2025 Kia Carnival shatters expectations with bold SUV-inspired styling, a premium high-tech interior, and advanced safety features that bring confidence to every drive. It’s more than a people-mover—it’s a family vehicle reimagined for modern life.

At Greenway Kia of Rivergate, we’re thrilled to offer this innovative multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that blends utility with luxury, making it perfect for growing families, road-tripping adventurers, and daily commuters alike. With standout design, smart technology, and a performance profile to match, the 2025 Kia Carnival proves that practicality can still be exciting.

Let’s explore how the Kia Carnival is changing the game in the family vehicle segment.

Striking Exterior Design: Rugged Meets Refined

Minivans typically prioritize function over form—but the 2025 Kia Carnival dares to be different. Its bold, SUV-like design gives it road presence and confidence, turning heads at every school drop-off or grocery store run.

Exterior design highlights include:

• Bold front fascia with signature grille: Kia’s updated “Tiger Face” grille is flanked by crisp LED headlamps and sharp LED daytime running lights, giving the Kia Carnival a powerful and modern look.
• Sculpted body lines: Sleek character lines along the doors and rear quarter panels give the Kia Carnival a dynamic, SUV-like silhouette.
• Power sliding side doors: These standard features offer smooth, convenient access for passengers, whether in tight parking spots or at busy curbside pickups.
• LED tail lamps and rear spoiler: A wide rear light bar stretches across the back for a contemporary finish, while the spoiler adds both flair and function.

With its striking design, the 2025 Kia Carnival blends the best of minivan practicality with SUV-inspired aesthetics—delivering a family vehicle that doesn’t compromise on style.

Luxurious and High-Tech Interior: Comfort for Every Seat

The 2025 Kia Carnival may look like an SUV, but step inside and you’re treated to a cabin that feels more like a luxury lounge on wheels. Spacious, versatile, and loaded with cutting-edge tech, the interior is designed with real families in mind.

Interior and technology highlights:

• Best-in-class passenger space: With seating for up to eight passengers, the Kia Carnival offers generous headroom and legroom across all three rows—ideal for long road trips or carpool duty.
• Available VIP lounge seating: On higher trims, second-row passengers can enjoy reclining captain’s chairs with leg extensions, heated and ventilated surfaces, and full sliding/reclining adjustability.
• Panoramic dual-display dashboard: The Kia Carnival’s available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster merges seamlessly with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system for a modern, tech-centric cockpit.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Standard across most trims, these features make it easy to stay connected to your smartphone apps, music, and navigation tools.
• Multiple USB ports and available wireless charging: Everyone stays powered up with multiple charging options in all three rows.
• Cabin View & Cabin Talk: With these features, the driver can easily monitor rear-seat passengers and communicate without turning around—perfect for keeping kids in the loop.

From leather-trimmed surfaces and tri-zone climate control to smart storage spaces and fold-flat seating, the Kia Carnival is designed to meet the needs of modern families—without feeling like a typical minivan.

Cutting-Edge Safety and Performance: Built for Confidence

Just because it’s family-friendly doesn’t mean it skimps on performance or safety. The 2025 Kia Carnival is powered by a responsive V6 engine and backed by a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems that help protect you and your loved ones on every journey.

Performance Highlights:

• 3.5L V6 engine: Delivering 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, this robust powertrain provides strong acceleration, smooth highway merging, and plenty of confidence when the vehicle is fully loaded.
• 8-speed automatic transmission: Offers seamless shifting and efficient power delivery for both city and highway driving.
• Front-wheel drive: Optimized for fuel efficiency and road comfort, the Kia Carnival strikes a balance between control and capability.
• Impressive towing capacity: With the ability to tow up to 3,500 pounds, the Kia Carnival can easily handle small trailers, boats, or pop-up campers—great for weekend getaways.
