Check out the key specs and features of the Carnival before dropping by your Kia dealer.
Experience Family-Focused Versatility in the 2025 Kia Carnival
The Carnival is a powerhouse minivan that can meet all of your performance demands, from driving in the suburbs to hauling up to 3,500 lbs on your next weekend getaway. A 3.5-liter V6 gas motor that produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This model gets 18 MPG in urban areas and 26 MPG on the freeway.
Cabin Space and Seating
The base Carnival can seat seven passengers, but optional upgrades on certain trims increase the seating capacity to eight. The interior cargo space with all seats upright is 40.2 cubic feet, but folding down both rear rows can increase the cargo volume to 145.1 cubic feet so you can haul snowboards, camping gear, pet crates, and more. A manual liftgate is standard on the base trim, but upper models have a hands-free and auto-closing power tailgate.
The Carnival has second-row seats that can slide forward for easier third-row entry or can be removed entirely to reconfigure the cargo space. The third-row bench seat has a 60/40 split. Standard cargo features include a floor console with a power outlet, cargo net hooks, and a shopping hook behind the first-row passenger seat to hold bags in place. The third row has seatback hooks to prevent grocery bags and other cargo from rolling around.
Available Packages
Models like the SX and SX Prestige are compatible with packages to refine the cabin’s comfort and convenience. The SX Dark Edition Package has leather seating material, a heated steering wheel, and a digital rearview mirror with integrated HomeLink to maximize your view of the road behind you and streamline your return home. A 12-speaker Bose audio system with a subwoofer and a 12-inch HUD is also standard.
The SX Prestige Seat Package upgrades the second row with VIP lounge seats, which have leg extensions, wing-out headrests, and three-stage heated/ventilated seat cushions. Ambient interior lighting is also standard with this package. An optional upgrade for some models is the Rear Seat Entertainment Package, which adds dual screens to the rear entertainment setup.
A family-friendly model like the Kia Carnival is ideal for running errands, carting the kids to sports practice, and planning family road trips. Get in touch with Springfield Kia in Springfield, MO to book a test drive or ask about model availability today.
